Unions And The Modern Era

What I would like to see is would anybody go for, accept it, if our military wanted to unionize?  Of course not, that would be absurd to consider such a vital part of American government to be subjected to bargaining of a job signed by contract, to victimize at very critcal moments, that could jeopardize national secrurity. The point is the founding and development of unions in the 20s & 30s was a great thing for labor, at the early years of the industrial revolution. However, like much other ground breaking civil revolutions, for ex: women's right to vote, segregation laws, etc... the protection of labor from the big bad corporations is nowhere near as vital as it was in the infancy of the industrial revolution, therefore the unions have ran the major course of their need. I say that with the utmost respect for labor rights, not as much for the rights of an entity to fleece the American taxpayer as a whole. In a time of litigation and whistleblower lawsuits as well as wrongful discharge lawsuits, the aid of the media to overnight victimize to bring to trial and convict a company on national television, such as Toyota, and Wal-Mart, recently, will cost a company hundreds of millions to billions of dollars in bad media, lost stock, performance to decreased sales. No entity that provides public services in this country, paid for by tax payer dollars should have a taxpayer funded pension, or any other compensation package funded by tax dollars after the individual employment has ended at such job. This would include police, fire, teachers, public officials, as well as county workers and state employees. These jobs are at the liberty and good fortune of the public, we as the taxpayers expect these services to be provided at the lowest economic burden to us - as good stewards of government it is your responsibility to provide that. SO DO IT!!!! 

How being cheap will leave you broke.

I find wanting to sympathize with some of the folks in America today,and the hard times they have endured over the last several years. but I can't, not because I don't understand but because I do. These times are made harder due to the poor decision making ability and the lack of self control that American people have in this country today and the shift away from basic family values. Until we as a nation take back the principals that guided our grand-parents and to some extent our own parents we are going to be a lost and wondering generations, always relying on the government to have a safety net to catch us when we fall. I say don't make the bad choices that, for sure will have you falling, example children out of wedlock. drug abuse, being in an abusive relationship, marry a man / or women that can't be a financial partner as well as a sex partner. Spending more then you make, having credit cards, not staying physically fit,(later in life having high medical costs and missing work because of poor health.) All of these things lead to a bleak economic outcome in life, its not hard to make money if you have any degree of motivation the trick is how not to spend it on crap... or unwisely, (" A fool and his money are easily parted") this is ohhh so very true, good luck my fellow Americans I hope you the best even if you are being set up to fail every day in life, hopefully one day soon you will have an Epiphany and see how easy it is to make good decisions and reap your reward of financial freedom.

The Proposition of Freedom

It's a good sign to see people in the middle east and Africa are not afraid of their governments and believe that power is in the people, this will form the strongest forms of Democracy. It did in America, but a time comes when the people need to remind the government and themselves that these are the truths, of true democracies." it is healthy for governments to fear their people, it keeps them honest".
