If Kerry was Prez. during the Cuban Missile crisis, he would have apologized to Fidel, asked the UN if it was OK to negotiate, and couldn't have possibly done any blockade....... since he didn't have a global "coalition".


Nu2Salt: Alas, you're anger at those with means continues to be apparent. You are obviously not a free market economist.

This "Living Wage" crap really is insane. Work hard at what you do, get educated, and you WILL succeed in this great country. You seem to think the Government OWES you something for nothing.

Very often Unions are no different than protection for those who are not worth what it is they do.

Personally, I am in Sales. If I don't sell, OR if someone can do the job better than me....I'm gone. I do not need protection, but rather protect myself by doing a good job and bringing value to those who pay me.

Unions resemble nothing from when they were needed many years ago. Today, they enrichen the Union management, and hold hostage American corporations. And the Liberals ALL wonder why American corporations go abroad with manufacturing.

Heck, a Toll Taker in NYC can make $100K/year collecting change. Why? Unions. Who pays for that? John Q Public, who now has to pay taxes up the wahzoo, for no real "service" of value.
