    AFL-CIO: Meet Mr. 1%

    Arguing with your Boss is like wrestling with a pig in
    mud.
    After a while you realize that while you are getting
    dirty, the pig is actually enjoying it.

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it
    creative problem solving.

    Union bosses will kill this nation's union jobs and not even realise it, or not even care.

    Can you say exporting jobs to China (now for the rest of the story that your local news won't report) because the labor cost are so high that it becomes unprofitable for the company.

    That word unprofitable will always govern business decisions because that is what the stockholders (IE- any investors in the company including grandmothers and middle class with investment portfolios) demand.

    And Trumpka is sleeping with Obama.

    Funny you should try to pass a topic so controversial as this off in General Discussion.

    I didn't say I liked either one of the running mates , but if Mr 1% was to get voted in I don't believe that much will change for the better but I guess we will have to wait and see in November for the vote to see how much more BS and political fighting can occur. What does seem to amaze me is how the people in this country put up with this process President elect 4 years in doesn't get much done for the people or national debt vote him out , New President elect voted in doesn't do much maybey start another war we can't pay for increase the national debt more , kill some more companies people lose more jobs 4 years he's out to because nothing ever changes accept the BS and how it's presented to the general public , we should all just go move to China because thats where the jobs will be not here in the US.
