America’s economy is based on an open free market. Businesses create jobs. Overall, Republicans support businesses. Most businesses support the Republican Party. Republicans and most economists understand the importance of preserving existing employment and creating newer jobs.
Democrats usually support Organized Labor which has forced many of America’s businesses out of business. Labor Union demands for higher wages and benefits often exceed businesses’ ability to compete in the world market. An excellent current example is the United Auto Workers Union chose to deny its’ membership the right to vote on maintaining an Indianapolis, IN factory with an average pay rate of $15.50/hr.; thus, forcing GM to close this factory putting more than 600 jobs in jeopardy. The $15.50/hr. was a competitive rate of pay with other auto manufacturing.
No need to worry! President Obama and the majority Democrat Party on Capitol Hill will extend unemployment benefits at taxpayers’ expense, as long as it is necessary. When Unemployment Insurance is depleted, the taxpayers pick up the tab.
Democrat Party legislators, have by legislation, prevented businesses from giving money to political campaigns participating in the political process. At the same time, Labor Unions are free to spend almost unlimited funds in participating in the political process. Is that equality? Labor Unions expend almost all of their funds in support for (re)election of candidates of the Democrat Party as Democrats support Organized Labor.
President Obama, who is failing to govern the Presidency to upstart our economy, is complaining that businesses should not be allowed to participate in the election process as Organized Labor does. Again, is that fair? SCOTUS says Obama is wrong.
The economic issue of the day is jobs, jobs, and more jobs. Businesses create jobs; Labor Unions do not.
Generally speaking, when you support Democrats candidates who support Labor Unions, you may effectively be voting to export jobs or terminate jobs. Labor Unions often end up driving away jobs.
Generally speaking, when you support Republican candidates who support businesses, you may effectively be voting to create new jobs and/or expansion of more jobs in the marketplace. Businesses quite often expand more jobs.
November 2, 2010 becomes a special day on jobs and our US economy. The issue becomes: “Do you support the Republican Party and jobs, or do you support the Democrat Party and unemployment”?
