Wisconsin Recap: Thanks to Obama, American Left Lies in Smoldering Wreckage

[Sekhmets Daughter]

40. Unions have outlived their usefulness

mainly because they put their trust into the Democratic Party which betrayed them at every turn. Think NAFTA and the trade agreements Obama has signed. Think about the fact that Democrats controlled the congress when Japan was allowed to take over the electronics industry and then the auto industry....Meanwhile the UAW wrung outrageous contracts from the Big 3...when a plant had to shut down temporarily because of over-production and lagging sales, workers were paid throughout the shut down.

You will never get the workers of China and India to cooperate with American workers....they were dirt poor before they were given the gift of American jobs. The only way to bring those jobs back here is for the congress to tax the products as
imports.... and for Americans to stop buying things made overseas. Apple works on a 51% margin for the newest iPhone which is not cheap....Americans should buy some other phone and send the old one back to Apple with a little note....I'll buy another iPhone when it's made here. 4 years ago I, and my late honey, purchased a GE Profile refrigerator for $2,300 and a GE Profile Stove for $2,000 both made in Mexico...I was not happy about that. I've since moved into a smaller place and had to purchase a new stove...I bought one made right here in the good old USA and I love it....Oh yeah it was $400. is self-cleaning, has 2 large burners + 2 small ones and a ceramic cook top. A Frigidaire... an old reliable brand....

I'm afraid most Americans are too self-absorbed to do anything to really help the nation...nothing will be done until 70% of Americans are living at the poverty level....
