GostHacked Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Lower businesses taxes allow for greater job creation. If the businesses do not turn a profit people will be laid off en masse. This is how business works. Profits means more jobs, less profits means job losses. As long as we are not stuck footing the bill to bail out failing companies ........ oh wait. Quote

Free trade directly impacted Ontario's auto industry in a very positive way. If you want to fight about something else, just say so. The Louisiana Purchase was from France....Canada wasn't even sovereign yet. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Bitsy Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Let's not forget that FDR was also against public sector unions. Because he saw the inherent flaws in that kind of system. Maybe eventually you people will too. It's really not that difficult of a concept to grasp. I believe if you read further on FDR, Shady, you would see that he was not opposed to public sector unions but he did not think they should have the right to strike. Quote
pinko Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) I believe if you read further on FDR, Shady, you would see that he was not opposed to public sector unions but he did not think they should have the right to strike. In a number of jurisdictions here in Canada contract impasses in the public service are settled through interest arbitration in lieu of the strike/lockout model available to private sector employees. I am still waiting for this Shady fellow to provide authoritative reference material to support his claim. In the absence of such proof I will reject his position and consider that he is engaging in hyperbole. Edited February 22, 2011 by pinko Quote
pinko Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Political activism is high on the list of priorities for Charles Koch, who in a letter last September to other business leaders and conservatives explained that he saw no other choice. “If not us, who? If not now, when?” said the letter, which invited other conservatives to a retreat in January in Rancho Mirage, Calif. “It is up to us to combat what is now the greatest assault on American freedom and prosperity in our lifetimes.” Campaign finance records in Washington show that donations by Koch Industries and its employees climbed to a total of $2 million in the last election cycle, twice as much as a decade ago, with 92 percent of that money going to Republicans. Donations in state government races — like in Wisconsin — have also surged in recent years, records show. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/us/22koch.html?src=ISMR_AP_LO_MST_FB Quote
Pliny Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 As long as we are not stuck footing the bill to bail out failing companies ........ oh wait. ...and as well we shouldn't be. For some reason, maybe you can think of one, governments seem to believe this is the thing to do. Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.
Mr.Canada Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 As long as we are not stuck footing the bill to bail out failing companies ........ oh wait. The left was begging for the bailouts. We're in a minority Parliament. I don't like it either but all those union votes were too much for Layton to ignore. We would've been better served to let them fall, declare bankruptcy, restructure and come back leaner and more focused.

Shady Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I love the smell of union busting in the morning. It smells like victory! Quote
Michael Hardner Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 I love the smell of union busting in the morning. It smells like victory! While people do get angry when their taxes go up, or when big government gives bailouts to Wall Street, it's really nothing when compared to the anger that people express when they feel that money is being unfairly stolen from them, i.e. government reneging on agreements. Take a look at the violence that happened in the early 20th century. It's no tea party, I assure you. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
