That doesn't make me laugh. It makes me sad.
What makes me sad is that our local Government is trying ban free enterprise.
I'm sure some of you "see it my way." But I'm sure we all wish we were a self sustaining nation...but we're not.
And who is to blame? We are! For wanting more pay for less work.
Some of us have gotten lazy and dived for the protection of a UNION!
So we joined unions to protect our jobs. But did they?
OK...ok...I know it just wasn't about the money...it was also better work environment, healthcare and benefits also.
However, many unions have won higher wages and better working conditions for their members. In doing so, they have reduced the number of jobs available. That second effect is because of the basic law of demand: if unions successfully raise the price of labor, employers will purchase less of it. Thus, unions are the major anticompetitive force in labor markets. Their gains come at the expense of consumers, nonunion workers, the jobless, and owners of corporations.
FREE ENTERPRISE, RIGHT TO WORK, DOWN WITH UNIONS!
Ouch...I think I just fell thru the bottom of my soapbox! Maybe I'll sue the manufacturer....yeah...yeah...that's the ticket!
Isn't it time we all started taking better care of ourselves and become responsable for our actions?
Whew! Still had one foot up there...
Your turn!
