Thread: Twinkie for your thoughts

One of the great truisms of the human condition is "strength in numbers."

I appreciate what the unions did in the past.

All modern unions have done for me is take my money and send me mailers telling me who to vote for.
I was a member of USWA and then SEIU. I have nothing good to say about either of them.

I had a Twinkie addiction. Now I just buy an angle food cake and a big tub of Cool Whip.

One nasty union SEIU.They ruined two hospitals I contracted with.I was a sub-contractor,crossed there picket line at 3 A.M going in for an emergency heart case.
Was spit on, cursed and physically pushed,they are a bunch of morons.

The irony of unions


They are great for the workers....

However

The countries that the western world is competing with for manufacturing doesn't have them...


The solution is rather simple, but not one politician has really said it... Tax the bejezzus outta imports until it evens the playing field...
If you could buy "Home Made" product -vs- a Chinese made product for the same price which would you buy ????


Until every country allows unions and things are evened out, then Unions are a bad thing, once the playing field is even, then Unions become a good thing again..

Good point about tariffs that no one has mentioned.

Glen, to be clear: You want to increase the cost of living for everyone in the US and then give that money to the government?

Tariffs go against everything outsourcing is about! Try getting a multinational co. to support the gov on that one!

^^ he kind of has a point ^^

Though Glen's idea isn't as bad an idea as one would think - the problem is Americans... rich Americans are the ones doing it to the rest of us. Those rich american's also support gov. campaigns... sigh.

Simple math

You cannot create Western Jobs to compete with Asian labor and Pay Union Wages and Debilitating Government red tape, it just won't ever happen.. and there is the truth of the BS that both sides of the asile are forcing down yer throat...


There is no get the "middle class working again", not in any Manufacturing... not until you can even the playing field..


BTW what would be the problem of moving that Tariff straight to the 16T in debt we owe China anyway either way it would effectively change the playing field/equation and without a game changer nothing can change regardless of who is steering the car I know this is highly simplified for this discussion and there are many issues but sooner or later we will have to make a drastic change to our trade laws
