1. You first say that destroying the unions will directly lead to the destruction of the democratic party.
2. Then you say that union contributions aren't that big of a deal.
3. But the loss of these union contributions will lead to a "1 party fascist state".
Willy, if you believe that the only thing stopping the USA from becoming 1939 Gremany are the unions then we have to suppose that their contributions are very important. Maybe even more inportant than "Big Business" contributions.
elections. Whoever buys the most shares wins.
Election IPO concept. Look hard before you post.
If you pay no income taxes, you get no vote.
For every 100 you pay in taxes, you get 1 vote.
How much you get to vote is in your own control.
Hell, every company in the world works like this, the more you put in, the more say you have.
Ugh...if we ran elections this way..I would want to go crawl under a rock and hide. How awful!
Maybe we should just "outsource" our Government and let another Country rule us? LOL

I pay whenever I have a session...
You charge for your sessions...
Everything we do in life tends to come with a price, but when it comes to one of the most IMPORTANT things we do in regards to this country, you can be an absolute dead beat, live off the efforts of others, have a criminal record (in some cases), not know shit about government and ingeneral just be a drag on society, but guess what, you can vote!!!
Think about it before you respond.
When 2012 POTUS election is over it will be an IPO of billion plus and I am not even counting the primaries!

It doesn't matter who votes. The people who bribe our elected officials already have 100% control.
Sinclair Lewis said, "When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross".
We're fucked. Yes, you too, Snow.
State officials all over this country have been more than willing to bankrupt their states in order to keep their union sugardaddies happy. But that's not bribery in Willy's world. The whole fucking country should be like Detroit.
if its Union Bribery its ok in your book, otherwise we are all fucked....
Be careful, your hypocricy is showing...
But, yes, I have a problem with the way campaigns are funded. Corporate and union money both.
However, it's a little absurd to complain about union money. That's like visiting vets in a VA hospital who have lost their limbs, and saying, "I once stubbed my toe, where's my bed?"
Corporate money beats out union money 15 to 1. And that was before Citizen United.
No good will come from a 1-party state. That is what the future holds.

Yourself to be a liar.
Not only did you read his post you replied also.
Lay off the drugs......just in case burger King does pre-employment testing.
You're welcome

that you made me feel the need to defend a willy post makes me uneasy.
but it says a lot about your lack of logic as well.
And btw, I could determine all this just from reading the post titles as well. I only opened the one (yours) to be able to type my reply.
Just have ALL unions double, triple .......or more the dues they charge their members and then the unions will have more money to contribute, that is if the union officials do not pocket the money.
You're welcome

or could you vote Rep & Dem, and even a few write ins?
You can vote them each as you see fit. It is not an all or nothing thing.
The money that floods in Dems is so astounding and you cry when you lose.
Did you cry when Soror funded tens of millions? Soror just anounced some other tens of millions of dollars fund.
Did you cry when Obama has a $10 million dollar dinner - NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
Did you cry when unions poured in tens of millions, even though a fair number of their members may not agree with where the money goes and have no choice as to how their money will be spent?
And that is just the start. Unions get people walking the streets and knocking doors. That is worth "money" even though it isn't added in.
Did you cry when Obama raised so much money last time that he could hardly spend it?
Did you cry when Obama's team first set a goal of A BILLION dollars? (Funny the tears started when the other side was thought to be able to match it.
And if you are so independent and are just posting "on principle," how come you didn't cry in your beer when the other side won?
I don't remember you being that upset by the influence of money when the libs were pouring money into the stream.
Why is it just now when the left (and Dems) are crying about it.
party. My position has always been that both parties are lackeys of the running dogs of capitalism.
Show me 3 posts where I support the lackeys.
No one is going to agree with you now but when the whole fucking thing implodes, they may!
On the lighter side, not bad idea to pay of the national debt. Let the fuckers benefitting from unfettered capitalism pay for the damn thing, not bad idea at all.
The working stiffs loose.
Howard Zinn said something I rather like. He said, "even when you win, you still lose."
So much for American democracy.
