Labor Union’s destruction of our economy

By Oscar Y. Harward

This political fight is all about high unemployment, high-taxes, big government, and less Constitutional freedoms. “Taxed Enough Already” (TEA) is a huge group of average, middle income, and hardworking Americans who believe taxpayers are Taxed Enough Already. Most associated with the TEA Party associate themselves to the Republican Party as most members of the GOP support lower taxes, less government, more Constitutional freedoms, and more private investments for jobs. President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats support more taxes, more government, less Constitutional freedoms, and government control of many investments and jobs.

It appears that “Labor Secretary” Hilda Solis has become “Labor Union Secretary” Hilda Solis or at least a spokesperson for them. Labor Union demands for higher salaries and benefits have destroyed our manufacturing and other businesses’ base, as surviving manufacturing has relocated to friendly regions, even foreign nations such as China. For America to restore its manufacturing and all other businesses’ base, there must be a level field of balance between business and labor. President Obama and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis must recognize these facts. It must be acknowledged that most of President Obama’s appointees are too entrenched in radical left-wing issues to change; to even realize the mandatory modification of positions.

Primarily, the Democrat Party, in an effort to provide “all the wants” for “all the people” “all the time” has left our nation, many individual states, and even communities into the gravest debt ever. Their answer is now for the taxpayers to bailout the states, the communities, and even the Labor Unions. Do President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats even consider bankruptcy for the United States? As former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said, “Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples’ money”.

National Education Association (NEA) leaders boast regarding our education and how the membership is taking care of our children. The record will prove that the education test results have decreased during the past many years under the leadership of the Department of Education that is loaded with National Education Association’s Labor Union representatives. If the NEA’s test results on education continue to decline, there will be little left in our educational system. The Labor Unions continue to demand more salaries and benefits while delivering less for our children’s education. The Department of Education must be abolished. Their leadership is much like a cancer. Immediate surgery is urgent.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan
