Unions-Now fully stocked up on crazy
#11
I've been told that bush Jr and co-herts effectively bankrupted the US on purpose in order to destroy social security, Medicare etc. I mean, their rich boys, why should they have to suffer the demands of unions, veterans and others. It's kind of obvious when you look at the makeup of the so-called conservative party that they don't feel they should actually have to serve in the military or pay for the bailout of over seas corporate interest. Their a privileged group and for the most part have never worked a day in their lives.
Back to the OP; not surprised in the least bit to see a union leader pandering to the lowest common denominator with agendas like this.

From: What day is it?
Clinton requested and got a deferrment. As did others. The difference? When he came back he knew the next would not be approved and he'd have to go. As opposed to Dick Cheney who got 5 deferrments because; "I had better things to do." Seems a lot of Republicans feel that way. Lotsa chickenhawks running loose on Capitol Hill.
Obama didn't dodge either. The draft ended before he came of age.
But why let the facts get in the way, right?
You're correct about one thing...your post WAS lame and idiotic.

Back on topic: I think this is a desperate measure by Trumpka to try and shore up decreasing union numbers. Less membership means less dues, and if they don't refill the ranks soon, his fatass might have to go get a REAL job.

Back on topic would be good for this thread, thanks!

Not to mention that the original article cited refers to the Bill of Rights originally sponsored by "Jamed Madison." If one wants the privilege of full employment, living wages, and a healthy future, it doesn't hurt to check one's work. Especially when following dreams of being journalists growing up :-)
Sorry, but that's a big pet peeve of mine. The media likes to be experts at how everyone else should do their job, but they can't be expected to have a mastery of the English language, let alone spell or type.
I personally believe that there needs to be an overhaul of the tax codes and minimum wage, but it can't fairly be done without a true assessment of the American peoples' priorities and sense of fairness. In any case, we can't rely on the "ruling class" (whether you define that as those in charge in government or corporations, as the "revolving door" mentality secures it for both) to govern or manage in the interests of all.
