The unions are crippling America

It’s about my job. Regardless of who under me loses their job, I’m voting for me, for my benefit package.

At the same time, these union leaders are calling for social justice.

To me, social justice is Marxism, “From each according to his ability to each according to his need.” I grew up believing, “individually with justice for all.”

How does a union worker have rights that a nonunion worker is not entitled to but is expected to pay for? That would be a negotiated entitlement without the nonunion worker’s consent.

When the public votes to preserve the American Way and balance their debt and the minority party leaves town in order to block a vote that would help accomplish what the voters voted for according to the majority, they’re cheating the American voter out of his/her vote.

Who will it benefit if our unions can dump millions of dollars of union dues into a campaign? What did our new senator/president promise the union? I only know who will pay for it.

How will it help preserve jobs in America if the workers of the world unite? Wouldn’t that create a global empire more powerful than the American government? Every worker in the world would pay a tax to the union, in the form of union dues.

Every war since the Revolutionary War was fought in vain because we would lose our liberty to greed. Whether it’s government, Wall Street or the unions, greed, money and power corrupt good men — we’re not all angels. If we let someone or an organization take our freedom and our right to pursue property from us and keep it for themselves they will.

We don’t have to fight for our freedom just recognize when we’re in danger of losing it and stand up for American interests before personal interests. You can call it the Labor Union, the Global Union or the Soviet Union; just know that if we the people don’t hold back the union, as well as keep the government and Wall Street in check, it will mean the eventual end of America.
