    Default Republicans and Big Business... omg

    Why will Republicans hold corporate executives responsible for their business practices instead of the employees?

    A company makes a deal with a UNION (yes, ahh.. scary) to pay less in income, but contribute more to a pension fund.

    The company does NOT make payments to the pension fund.

    Years later, when obligated to make payments ouf of the under-funded pension and files for bankruptcy. Republicans blame the Union.

    The Union agrees to lower wages and making larger contributions to the pension fund.

    The company continues to not make full contribution to pension fund.

    Legally obligated pension payments become due, the company can't pay from the unfunded pension fund and files bankruptcy. Republicans blame the Union.


    I don't get this, but why don't Republicans, who so claim to believe in responsibility, EVER hold the business executives accountable for failing to honor a legal contract?

    Republicans MUST have some missing proteins in the DNA that makes them, I don't know, mildly psychopathic or something.

    They refuse to empathize with the workers because they their self-image requires them to imagine they are "the betters" - even if they slop a mop for a living.

    Psychopathic Trait #1 -
    Grandiose Self-Worth:
    A grossly inflated view of one's abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings.

    I'm sure they'll be along in a second to prove this detail correct because they're so superior to me that whatever I write is inferior and therefore cannot apply to them. lol

    The psycopathy of the union grubs of utter sluggishness (sluggishness so sluggish that it would shame a sleeping tree sloth) is self-evident. Actual labor, in this the multi-polar world of working with others and being a part of a global community in which 'foreigners will not tolerate,' is producing lard-arse inducing confections of preservative delights at $2.95 or less, per hour. Yet, these psychopathic unionista slugs demand all manner of grandiose pension beasting, benefits feasting and an utterly delusional $32.50 per hour for their so-called labor. The psycopathy was so utter and complete that even when told by the bankruptcy judge that there was no more money to coddle their featherbeded lard-arses, they went on strike.

    Anyone talking about contractual obligations and in other places, trying to carry the tainted water of Obama, needs to control their schizophrenia. The Lord and Savior and Messiah and leader (of some) had no problems in screwing over GM debt holders (gasp... they had contracts) when it come to coddling the backsides of the filth of the gutter UAW slugs.

    Any company with management vapid enough to hire unionized slug so-called labor deserves fiscal insolvency. Such was the case with Hostess and now, the unionsluginistas can peddle their psycopathy under current market conditions (or live off of their pannicular larges from years of fiscally raping Hostess and cramming their orifices with the company bloodmeal while they rot on unemployment entitlements).

    Um, Hostess was the poster child for mismanagement. How many CEOs did the company have in the last 10 years? Didn't they negotiate with the workers years ago to reduce wages, then give their executives 300% raises? Big business would like you to believe it is the victim, but reality is it is the the bully, because it has all the resources. And without unions big business would have a deeper grip on its workers. When there is a balance it works for everyone; when one side is dominant, the problems mount.

    Easy. Unions are evil therefore whatever goes wrong is the Union's fault. That's the way some folks view labor issues...

    Why does this sound familiar? Oh, it sounds just like the situation many local and state governments find themselves in. All going broke with pension plans driving the problem where these politicians thought they could get pie in the sky returns on the pension funds investments.

    We never seem to hold them accountable either. Did these biznit leaders learn from our masters?

    Good point. Truth is that if we held our politicians accountable, 99% of them would be one-termers. But as we have seen just recently, that does not happen.

    Once the entirety of the Norris–La Guardia Act and the National Labor Relations Act, in the very least, are repealed then we can start to talk about negotiating with so-called 'labor' and 'balance.' Hostess was set to go under during the first bankruptcy but was temporarily saved by Gephardt and Ripplewood (Tim Collins). Investing in a company laden with thug looter union so-called labor contracts was a bad choice and merely kept the anachronism of union so-called labor business model limping along. Nobody owes so-called 'labor' a job. If they don't like the compensation being offered then they should be free to look for a better, newer deal elsewhere.
