The Progressive Domino's Start to Fall

http://www.redstate....-is-collapsing/



The microcosm of the scheme of states having to bail out cities, is what's coming to the US with states and the feds, same as countries in the EU are doing in Europe.

Progressive/Socialist policies don't work for long and the world is about to find out.

 

This is hilarious. Within a year, a majority of right wingers will be screaming "TAKE AWAY MY SOCIAL SECURITY, THE RICH NEED MY MONEY!!"

I see IWS has already gotten a head start.

More of you not understanding the reality of what is said.

I have over the years refrained from saying this as I've seen others do, and thought it presumptive and rude, and I take no pleasure in asking, but are you off your meds?

 

I'm starting to think Phreak just trolls the Anti-Progressive threads to get a reaction out of you, IWS.

That being said, unions should be completely redone. They've gone much further than it seems originally intended, and now their greed is going to cause them to destroy themselves and possibly others.

 

The unions are basically doing their job. It is the government officials who give in to union demands who are not.

 

That's like saying the people in charge of Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae, were just doing their jobs.

When your actions are causing the destruction of the industry your union members are working in, you're no longer just doing your job.

 

The point is the unions are doing just what you and I would do if offered more money and benefits than we are worth. It is those negotiating on the other side who, as always happens when you spend other people's money, are not fiscally responsible.

 

Their job is to protect workers from being mistreated via pay, lack of benefits, etc. The problem is that now they have enough power to get what they want whether it has anything to really do with the worker or not.

 

I know this is from a socialist website, but is it the reality of the situation? I'm not hearing much good news about the US jobs market at all over here in booming Australia.

US tax data shows falling wages, rising inequality
By Andre Damon and Tom Eley
6 November 2010

Average annual wages for US workers fell by $457 in 2009 and the median annual wage fell by $247 to $26,261, according to recently updated data from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Meanwhile, the incomes of the top-earning corporate executives barely budged in 2009. The pay of the handful of individuals making over $50 million fell by about 7 percent 2009, despite the fact that stocks fell in value by 40 percent, demolishing the claim that executive bonuses are tied to corporate performance.

Last year, in the midst of 10 percent unemployment, a relative handful of Americans lived as royalty. In 2009 there were 3,689 individuals who made between $5 million and $10 million, and 1,618 who made $10 million or more, including 425 who made $20 million, and 72 who brought in $50 million or more

These 5,307 tax filers, equivalent to the population of a small town, together took home about $57.62 billion in 2009, about $8 billion more than the bottom 24 million households filing taxes, and a staggering 10 percent of all income earned in the US.

 

Got this from a friend. This may not be the right place to post it.

 

Son of a bitch, it's 1984, but for modern times!
