• $11 Million Grant to Clothe Detroit Job-Seekers Helps…Two

  March 8, 2012 at 4:39pm

  This is not 11 million of “Missing” or “Mismanaged” money. This is 11million dollars STOLEN from taxpayers and deposited in the pockets of democratic politicians and friends.
  Corruption, lies and fraud running wild.
  How else to these people get elected to office and retire millionairs.
  This is happening in every large city in every state in this union.
  Disgusting and we just keep voting in these same criminals year after year.

• Plans to Drug Test Welfare Recipients Get Momentum

  February 27, 2012 at 10:55am

  In reply to B-Neil.

  Darn straight, when I went online and read word for word the law in my state that requires randon drug testing of private employees to qualify for worker’s comp coverage the law specified that it did not apply to Federal, State or local government employees due to “privacy” concerns.
  Why do we allow an environment which makes one set of rules for working people and another set of rules for the government workers. Now we cannot even apply the same rules to the people that live off our work. Since when is a welfare collector’s “Privacy” more important than a working taxpayer.

• Unruly Passenger Swung at Flight Attendant, Said He Hated Women, & Sang of Bin Laden

  I grew up flying. My father worked for Delta Airlines from the early 50′s so my oldest memories are of flying everywhere. I remember flying on DC3′s so that does tell my age to some.
  I have not been on an airplane in over five years and as much as I love flying (still have a Delta Discount card in my wallet) I refuse to submit to the government morons called the TSA.
  My last commercial flight I decided no more. I refuse to be treated like a criminal just to travel within my own countries borders.
  I will simply drive myself or for the time being take a train. If I don‘t have the time to drive myself I don’t have the time for the trip. I refused to take a promotion at work because of the travel involved, I‘m fine where I’m at. At least for now I still have self respect and values that prevent me from submitting to the illegal TSA.
  As long as they group me and granny and let the muslims through for fear of offending them I will with hold my funding of the airlines.

• See These Stories of Forced Union Membership and Political Contributions

  In reply to skimmer57.

  Grow Up!!!!
  I work for a nationwide company, we have 72 divisions in all states and areas of the country. All but 15 are NON UNION. I work in a non union division in a right to work state and our pay and benifits are better than the same jobs in the union divisions.
  WHY??? Because the non union workers are more productive. The divisions make more money and pay the employees better. WHY, because they don’t want to deal with the unions so they pay non union employees better and the non union employees produce more. Ever Heard Of Win/Win.
  The age of low pay, dangerous working conditions and frankly the need for unions is long gone. Unions job is done, has been done for decades.
  In today’s market companies are competing for talent, looking for good workers. The days of abusing workers are gone, welll except union workers being abused by unions.

  Wake up and smell the coffee or take another drink of Kook Aid, doesn’t matter to me.

• MSNBC Guest Suggests Romney Is Racist for Giving Money to Struggling Black Woman

  January 18, 2012 at 9:14am

  To me it is looking more and more like the race card has been pulled one too many times.
  I for one don’t care if someone or anyone calls me racist. So What, these words mean nothing anymore. I’ll do what I think is right and you say what you will about me.
  Looks like more and more people are seeing it the same way.
  At some point blacks will get over this race issue but not until they understand the word has no weight anymore and means nothing.

• ‘You’ll Be Tarred and Feathered!’: Union Protesters Growing Desperate in Indiana

  January 13, 2012 at 9:52am

  I live in a Right To Work state. I was offered a job at a union plant, refused the job because the union pay scale was not high enough. I was called back after two weeks and had the company offer me more money to accept “A New Position That Paid What I Had Asked For”. I accepted the position and worked in that union plant for two years, did not join the union.
  I left that plant when the union called a strike and walked out for almost two years over 25 cents an hour. I just went on and found another job elsewhere.
  Lessons learned. First, the union meant nothing. The union pay scale was too low for me so the company created a new position to get me. Union did not protect their members at all, they just kept them down. Second, the union called a strike over more money and the union members lost almost two years of income while myself and the other non union employees just went out and found other jobs at other companies.
  This is the freedom provided by Right To Work laws. If this had been a forced union state I would not have been able to provide for my family as I saw fit, I would have be subservant to a union and dependant on others for my families income.
