As predicted each side of the Auto Bail Out was putting out the same stuff. Republicans asking for reduction in UAW costs, democrats saying everything was good as is. Which side of the argument are you? You probably know where I stand.
If you want to sit on the fence, too bad. People we soon be coming to your door asking you to make a stand.
“Are you for us or them?”
What will you say? Will you try to waffle out and continue to dodge the issue?
Here is how I see it- – we return to a Republic or we can become socialist. Those are the options. The majority of people have been sitting on the fence for years. Yes, I too was guilty of non committal.
While I am no longer affiliated with the republican party, I found it refreshing there were a few willing to take a stand against labor. That may be the current spear point of the conflict, but the underlying issue is socialism versus democracy.
Before you have a coronary, labor unions are collective bargaining tools. Collectivism is a form of socialism where the greater good of the collective goes ahead of the well being of the individual. You may get a big fat check, as do Detroit autoworkers say $73 an hour, versus those redneck down south who only get $44 an hour, but there is a price for that. The cost is in competitive loss in a free market.
We are in danger of losing even the competitive market as the socialist in congress keep demanding less and less capitalism and more government control of every aspect of business including wages. That is a short ride on a long rope.
With the stroke of a pen, obama will put our sons and daughters into hock for trillions of dollars next month when he institutes obama-care. The spending and nationalization of GW will enslave our grandchildren. If you see hope in that, I pity you.
The obama socialism will spread like an octopus, it’s tentacles reaching into every area of our lives. Once the center for banking and finance, we have fallen into the “debtor nation” category. In a few years, our standard of living, especially health care will slide in line with the third world .
Are we doomed? Probably. But, there is hope. We can reclaim our liberty and our independence. God save us if it’s through violence, but before that, I hope Citizens wake up and move to take back local control at the polls.
Have an opinion? Let’s hear it.
