According to John Boehner, the “jobs creators” are on strike.
If the Speaker is so concerned, why doesn’t he pressure the president to break this strike like previous presidents? Harry Truman broke the railroad strike, and Governors called on the National Guard to shoot the strikers. Ronald Reagan broke the air traffic controllers strike. why can’t the government break this strike?
And just what are these “jobs creators” striking against? Unfair taxes and burdensome regulations?
Twenty nine Americans were killed in the 2010 West Virginia coal mine due to lack of regulatory enforcement concerning the safety of miners. How many Americans have died from food poisoning? Remember the poisoned eggs?
These companies pay no heed to regulations as it is, Massey Energy Co. and DeCoster egg farm had been cited hundreds of times with little to no corrections. Now people are dead due to their negligence and they’ve gotten away with it. So how have regulations hindered any of these “jobs creators”?
Are the jobs creators on strike when it comes to outsourcing jobs around the world? Chrysler just negotiated new contracts where they’ll pay the American worker the same pay as foreign auto workers. Now if we can just get the cost of living down to that of foreign workers, we might have a chance to be competitive. Oh yeah that’s right, due to all the taxes and regulations, mega corporations have to lower our wages to be competitive with other countries, where the cost of living isn’t as grossly inflated.
George Washington lamented about convincing the whisky makers to pay taxes, without them, the financial future of a federal government was in peril. Paying taxes for federal government is nothing new, why are the “jobs creators” so aggrieved now?
This strike won’t end until government is privatized with all services outsourced to the same corporations who sicken and kill us.
Where are the strike breakers when we need them?
