1 percent might have 25% of the wealth, but they also create 25% of the wealth. And they pay the majority of all taxes. Geez…

  plight, did you catch that he actually said they “earned” that 25%, then quickly retracted it by saying they “have” it?
  
  Like it mysteriously appeared in their bank accounts….

Mr. Floyd bemoans the fact that his members have sacrificed so much, but does he think about where his public sector’s members salaries are coming from? Does he not think it ironic or hypocritical that his members earn. on average, twice what an employee in the private sector makes and then has to pay taxes to pay Mr. Floyd’s members. Is it not ironic that he bemoans the state of the American worker, but he is the International VP?! As to the “have to, want to” question about attendance at the rally, the big difference with the 8/28 rally is that individual Americans paid for their trip out of their own pockets, not from the union slush fund!

A bunch of self entitled jerks. They should break all the unions and start over with more reasonable leadership. Im tired of fat-cat union bosses making 6 figure salaries demanding that the tax payers foot the bill for entitlement programs that are billions of dollars in the hole. How about my retirement? I dont see them marching for the state to pay me what im “entitled” too. When did these people become a higher class of citizen?

Where is the backbone in any of these union members? Not a peep from any? If they go along without protest it’s assumed they agree.

  If they cause a stir – they will be blackballed from jobs. If they are now working…they wouldn’t be for long. Where do you suggest they go to get a job….the unemployment line with everyone else? It isn’t as simple as you think. These men and women have to feed their families and pay the bills like everyone else. What do rallies really matter?? They can ship in every American….it still doesn’t change what happens behind the voting booth curtain.

  Gee, Heidi–wait until the strikes in 2011. How many of these families can afford to go on strike? There are choices to make in life and choices have consequences. To me, joining a union is like trading freedom for security.

  don’t ASSUME ANYTHING.. You did notice there are NO JOBS didn’t you?? so those who would speak out will lose their jobs they are ALREADY basically owned.. the ONLY way they can speak out is in NOVEMBER . I know it seems easy to say they should just take the job loss or another job for less money but realize this many have other family members who lost their jobs and they are helping them out too.. right now the unions aren’t the only ones in this situation many private sector workers have the same thing in their lives..the unions aren’t the only ones with leadership that is PROGRESSIVE..

  Waiting4George – I’m sorry, but many of us who are union families are no different then you and yours. My husband is up at 3:30am to travel 3 1/2 hrs, one way, to work; so he can keep food on our table and pay our bills. This after being laid off for over 9 months. I have no idea what strikes in 2011 your talking about…my husband has never taken part in a strike and never will. I will agree with you that everyone has choices to make in life and there are consequences – my household chooses to work…and pay our way. We will also choose to vote against any person that stands against the defense of the constitution and what it stands for – Dem. or Repub. The union has no control over how we vote; and that is the foundation of our country. I’d also like to point out – there are plenty of construction companies that are run by non-union liberal Dems. I’ll also add that picking and choosing your job right now….really not an option – there is hardly any work to be had. Sometimes you can’t just walk away….I don’t think losing our home and filing bankruptcy would solve the nations problems.

  For all the UNION FOLKS here; Don’t worry about continuing to work in the Union jobs that you rely on. Those jobs are already doomed to extinction anyway, along with a hundred times as many Non Union ones. The Economy we have is based on nothing more than the “ILLUSION” of real wealth, and has been for a century+. All that has kept it going was blind faith by the masses in the Federal Reserve System and the Phony Dollars they have used to steal eveything that they could. Bottom line, your Gig is about up one way or another, PONZI SCHEMES have alway failed under their own weight throughout history. Point of fact, just in the last few weeks, the new “Smart Move” has been to get into Gold, but to SELL IT SHORT now, instead of buying into the continued up “Bubble” it’s been building. This weekend’s Communist Extranzagava may well be the “Tipping Point”, and if not then certainly the Election will be. So enjoy as many “Paychecks” as you can get between now and the final collapse of the dollar. After that happens, If you can’t grow your own food, well a Paycheck will certainly be the last thing on your mind.

This is exactly what’s so wrong in our country. The unions think the remainder of America should work to support them and their excessive salaries and benefits. It has to stop and stop now while any of us still have a job. Sorry but non-union workers should not have to support union workers who make double what the rest of us do.

Exactly. Its all about choice, and the freedom to choose which events to participate in. The left wants to govern and dictate in every area of our lives and it’s a classic case of the blind leading the blind. No matter what they say or do at this rally, just know that they can only be successful if we stop fighting and standing up against them.

I am forced to be a member of a Union and pay dues…I get virtually nothing in return. The unions lay in bed with management and much like the politicans – love to appear they are two factions at odds when in reality they both benefit from screwing those they represent. (I keep current on dues – do not have a union job and prefer to keep working for myself)

  I am an SEIU member by default. I would rather not. When I told my employer I don’t want to join for conscientious reasons. I was told that I had a choice but the choice was to work somewhere else. It is few and very far between to find an employer in my line of work that is not unionized. I have attempted to divert a portion of my dues to something other than the union but have run into roadblocks. If someone knows the way to divert dues in Washington state, I’d like to know.
  
  I assume that some in the crowd this w/e will have “Stop the Hate” signs. I just hope that Andrew Breitbart is there to interview them.

  SBISH: I can only speak about the construction Union trade that we are involved with. What happens is a company/business joins the union. When a person is employed by the company they must become a union member in order to work…with that membership you gain health insurance, retirement, further education to keep up with trade advancements and employee protection from unfair employment practices (such as overtime, breaks etc.) A union member must pay dues in order to work on the job site…people come around and make sure you have your up to date due card with you on the job. Dues are paid to the local and the national level. Local dues are usually kept local to run the hall, hold classes and pay bills….it is the national dues that go to crap like this rally. One does have a choice in the beginning on taking the job or not….and in a better employee atmosphere one could quit and start their own company or go to work for a non union shop….at this point and time…hands are tied. It is sink or swim time.

  Andy Stern 2006 salary: $229,960
  Bob King (UAW Pres): 144,733.47 – total executive board salaries: $797,249.15
  Vince Giordano NJEA Director: $421,615 salary plus $128,508 in deferred compensation
  Barbara Keshishian NJEA Pres: $256,450
  Richard Trumka: $238,975 in 2009 (raised $74,00 over the last four years)
  
  Those horrible Have-nots.

  I fear we are going to have to resort to the RICO statutes to loose the hold of these corrupt unions on our free market and local governments. I think we ought to. If the unions in this country, particularly the seiu and the teacher’s union, do not completely fall under the term: Racketeering, Influence and Corrupt Organizations, will someone PLEASE explain to me what possible difference there is between the union’s management and the mafia? I am a very well-educated human being with a great command of the English language, and I can’t see where they are any different, except that the government is a great friend of the unions, whereas they detested the mafia. I don’t understand, because the mafia was probably willing to pay MUCH more money to the government than the unions for the privilege of “doing business.” Is there some reason why the honest, hard-working members of the unions who are forced to join in order to provide for their families can’t rise up and urge federal prosecutors to charge the union management under RICO? I have been researching that for some time, and I can’t see why not. What say you union workers who are good Americans who hate what your union management has done to the American workers start asking the district attorneys where you are to look into it? You could purge your unions of corruption and hold you new leaders to a high standard, just like the rest of America is doing in November. The unions are responsible for at least as much unemployment as Obama’s policies. The unions destroyed the steel industry in Pittsburgh. I know, I lived through it. Demolibersocialcommies will argue that point loudly like the buffoons they are, but I was there during the entire thing, I had many family members who were steel workers and I know very well that the unions were responsible. Who among the union workers is willing to make a stand and demand that your management be purged of corruption? Unions don’t have to be a bad thing. They could go back to their original purpose and protect their workers from poor working conditions and inadequate wages, instead of concentrating on milking John Q. Public for every drop of blood they can get.

I honestly have been researching that for some time, and if you got enough members to make the unions understand that there’s too many of you to retaliate against, and you had actual information of crimes under RICO being committed, why wouldn’t a prosecutor take up the cause? There are ways of forcing them to if they are reluctant and there is evidence. Keep the faith, all!

  I too, belong to the National Air Traffic Controllers Union because the management at the FAA doesn’t care about labor laws or fairness. Right now I am fighting them to cover my medical bills for an on the job injury that they claimed didn’t happen to the worker’s compensation board, while at the same time they are trying to permanently medically disqualify me from being an air traffic controller because of the same injury! However, when I heard that they joined up with AFL-CIO affiliations, I was deeply disappointed. I have seen much more political pressure and activities over the last two years. I guess I am damned if I stay and damned if I quit.

  At different times in my life I belonged to the UAW and the CWA. I absolutely hated the jobs because of all the union interference. Unions have outlived their usefulness and they could more accurately be called PACs or enforcement arms for the Demoncat Party. I call them the destroyers of the U.S.A., a country that I happen to love and want to save.

  My wife has just recently joined a Union because she had to in order to work there (she didn’t have the seniority to be grandfathered in. And the Union is doing little more than collecting the dues. It’s aggravating, but in her case, the union was warranted. they weren’t getting fair pay or benefits in relation to the rest of the industry in the area. Their contract right now is worthless, but renegotiation are in progress so hopefully, things will turn around.
  
  I think rarely in these days is a union needed, but sometimes it is. for example, if one managed to get into Wal-mart, i would support it because they treat their employees as sub-par at best most of the time. I know first hand. And actually I recall there being only 2 Wal-marts that are unionized and i think they are both in Canada.
  
  Anyway, I hope that more union members stand up for their choice in the matter and deny going on the grounds that they are Required to go.

  “What if they don’t go” Great question.
  My mother and father worked for Dupont MANY years ago and they went union and at one point the union BOSS told the rank and file that they HAD TO attend a rally-like gathering. My parents didn’t believe in what the gathering was standing for, so they didn’t go. They were harrassed for several weeks by their “brothers and sisters” in the union. They later said that they “got off easier than others that failed to attend”. I have no idea what that meant, but it scared the crap outta me.
  
  Still does.

  Unions are ordering their rank and file members to attend the upcoming rally in DC. The union members are the ones that should be telling the union leadership what to do and where to go.
  Most union members are honest and hard working men and women who want nothing more than fair wages and benefits for their labor. They are not politicians. There is no place today for “Jimmy Hoffas” and “Walter Reuthers” and other thugs like them that once dominated the labor unions.

  Unions are not your grandfather’s unions anymore. What’s really annoying is how the left consistantly rails against “special interest groups” in DC. I would love to hear one of Obama’s “backyarder’s” ask him directly if he believes that unions are or are not considered a “special interest” group in his opinion. The LEFT is steering this Country towards a serious clash between classes. The future of our Country is at stake right here and right now. Conservatives need to come out en masse this Nov and in 2012. We need to break all voting percentage records to link up arm and arm against the scocialists. They’re not only among us, they’re in the Whitehouse dressed in sheep’s clothes.

  The difference is, the teamsters’ president will fly down on private jet, stay in a regal suite, and the other teamsters will be crowded onto a school bus.

  This may be funny to some but this is NOT funny at all.
  
  The communists, socialists, and the anarchists, etc, are about to go public, with this rally being their coming-out-of-the-closet event. This will mark the very public downfall of the USA as we all know and love.
  
  Unless of course you think this country is worth saving…. if you do, make darn sure you get as many people to the polls a possible. Our future is in danger, time to get serious!

  These Thugs, have jobs and Obama keeps growing Government and throwing the Privated Sector under the bus.. Obama is collapsing the system to create a Marxist Society, Cloward and Piven.
  The Unions are corrupt as the day is long and they want to take from the Haves and give it to the Have nots.. That is whats killing the middle class and Obama is not lying when he says the economy is going in the right direction, because thats exactly what he is trying to do.

  This was a the textfrom a caller into the Rush Limbaugh show yesterday which I took fronm his web site:
  
  Here’s Sarah in northern Virginia. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
  
  CALLER: Hi. I was calling, I got a call from my sister who is a teacher in Michigan last night and she had an e-mail from her local teacher union chapter calling for activists to go on an NEA subsidized buck trip for the rally this weekend in Washington, DC, called One Nation Working Together or something. And they said on September 29th they learned that they were getting an NEA grant to help offset the cost of the bus. So they’re getting two people –

Make sure and pay your respects to your Union masters Demwits, and good luck finding a job with Demwit or Union on your resume – Little Libturds need not apply!!!!

  Can we just wait for them all to get to Washington and then lock them in? I think the country will do so much better with them all contained and frankly, I can’t imagine a more fitting prison that DC

  NEWS FLASH — “A thousand buses full of Lefties drove off the bridge into the Potomac river this October 2nd on the way to the Communist rally in DC. The bus drivers were not members of a union, and the Prez Obama said at a news conference that he believes it was a Fox News conspiracy, led by Glenn Beck. Ed Schultz was in one of the buses and was found floating down the river — all the hot air kept him from sinking — he will be replaced on MSNBC by Congressman Alan Grayson.”

  Once again the Unions rear their true communist-socialist-marxist selves; here in arizona a few months back the Frys grocery store union mandated its members go on strike for a 1.00 an hour raise, they got it, and I have found out from three seperate talks with the members that the great union will claim roughly .50 cents of the raise per hour in dues, while another .20 cents will go to an increase of President Obamas “Obama-care” plans.

  I’m sorry but isn’t that sort of like “you have to buy Obama’s healthcare”? Quick, start a class-action suit – I’m sure there is a lawyer that would gladly shove this down the union’s throat. Where’s Abraham when you need him to free the “slaves”.

  the propaganda system is designed, has been for years, to demonize unions, which makes a lot of sense. Unions are a democratizing force in which the mass- one of the few ways in which the large mass of the population can pool limited resources and work together for some common good. So that’s that bad thing: democracy. So naturally you want to demonize and destroy unions, and that’s been going on forever.
  
  And the other leading propaganda theme – and I don’t mean by that, you know, like, just what you hear in the newspapers- read in the newspapers and so on, like the entertainment industry and television and everything else – is anti-politics. Meaning, setting up a picture — it’s called anti-politics — the picture — but a very specific kind of anti-politics — you have to establish the image, you know, get into people’s heads, that the Government is the enemy- the Federal Government. State Governments are okay, because they can be sort of controlled by business anyway, so it doesn’t matter. But the Federal Government is sometimes a little too big to be pushed around, so it’s the enemy.
  
  And it cannot be, nobody can dream of the possibility, that the Government is of, by, and for the people. That’s impossible. It’s an enemy to be hated and feared.
  
  Not that there aren’t a lot of things wrong with it, but that’s not — what’s wrong with it, from their point of view, is it has a big defect: it’s potentially influenceable by the population, and big enough to stand up against private power. And that’s the defect.
  
  So, you have to regard it as the enemy. It cannot be of, by, and for the people. It’s a kind of a, Them versus Us business. “Them” is the Government which is the enemy. “Us” is all of us nice people, you know, sober working man, his loyal wife — maybe, extra job these days — the hard-working executive toiling twenty hours a day, you know, for the benefit of all, the friendly banker who’s out there trying to find — to give you money. That’s “Us.” And then there’s “Them.” “Them” is the outsiders, the un-Americans, you know, the agitators, the union organizers, big government, and so on. And it’s sort of, Us versus Them. That’s the picture.
  
  That has been rammed into people’s heads for at least fifty or sixty years by intensive propaganda everywhere. Movies, television, textbooks — just constant.

  In Communist and dictatorial regimes people are told to attend rallies or else. This is how it begins. Wake up Progressives. Do you think you will have a choice? Do you think you can change your mind and say no and criticize your masters once they take your power away? You are playing a very dangerous game that will be beyond your control.

  The Unions are only interested in lining their pocketbooks! They don’t care about their members! They just want to make them believe they can’t live without them. That’s why the need to stir the pot so often! Hmmm! Sounds familiar doesn’t it!

  @progressivesloveamerica…..Sir, your argument is correct, if we have liberty. but it seems to most people that liberty is antithetical to the progressive agenda. In the progressive view,. the people have no say. Obama’s style of running the show proves this.
  As far as propaganda goes, your masters’ weak attempts are not working anymore. WE are American. WE are strong, stronger than you are. WE are faithful. We are truthful, more honest than you are. WE take care of each other, you take care of yourself………………………………….
  so, take care of yourself, y’hear?

  @Progressive
  
  Why do people like you think that you can simply shrug off opposing views by making lame attempts at impuning the motives of those that hold them? You can sell stuff like that to union members, they’re the ones that are stupid enough to be led around by the nose and allow their well being to be used as a bargaining chip for the union royalty. I just watched the documentary about DeLorean last night…perfect example. They are ramping up the factory for production. They just hired all their workers. As soon as they’re hired they have a meeting saying they were recruiting them into the unions, and told them it’s their choice but they wouldn’t be allowed to work there if they didn’t join. Then the next scene is the union chief telling a group of workers that the company offered them 6.98% annual salary increases. Without even a single word of discussion he tells the workers that he went ahead and told them that he was declining the offer and he needed someone to propose the motion to decline it and someone to second it so that he could do it officially. That is not the union working on behalf of it’s members, it’s a union using it’s members as bargaining chips.
  
  People have good reason for not liking unions. At one time unions were a good thing, even necessary. But they are obsolete now. They are no longer serving the public good, at least in civilized nations with established economies and fair labor practice laws. They hold businesses hostage with unreasonable demands, and they have become nothing more than a quid pro quo partner for politicians. Votes for money.

  Just think, I was wondering if anyone notice the new communist/socialist party. The labor unions should go to the clothing labor union and have thier new uniforms made so they can standout at thier rally. I wonder has Obama givin the Unions the way they must march in to our Capital?

This troll just keeps changing the moniker to make us true conservatives think there is more than one person of liberal persuasion out there. Hey progressive……Are you going to the one nation rally to see all your communist friends on Saturday. Say hello to smug, danglin and windmill. OOOPS, I forgot you are all of the above.

  ROFLMAO,
  I just went to the one nation web site and looked around to see how easy it would be to get a ride. If you all will remember, for the restoring honor rally you could hop a bus just about anywhere. I live in columbia south carolina and for the restoring honor there were literally dozens of busses. I just searched for a ride to the one nation rally and there is one bus almost thirty miles away, they are charging 60 bucks round trip and they are sitting on 2 tickets left out of twelve, BLAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
