		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Actually, Dallas, for the record, I didn’t denounce Right-to-Work laws. 

Comment by Mike R — November 14, 2012 @ 11:47 am - November 14, 2012&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Lie. Your post had no purpose other than to bash right-to-work laws.

&lt;blockquote&gt;I pointed out that Ayn Rand did.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course. You tried the Alinsky tactic of attempting to make people live up to their own book of rules as a means of bashing right-to-work laws.

Unfortunately for you, your dependence on Obama Party talking points and inability to think or research for yourself leaves you vulnerable to an informed person pointing out your OWN hypocrisy, given how your Obama Party opposes voluntary employer-employee agreements, demands that people be involuntarily required to pay union bosses and the Obama Party to even have a job, and then channels said forced contributions into the Obama Party&#039;s funding.

The hilarious thing is that you actually thought quoting Ayn Rand might make a difference. This is because you are an Obama drone who isn&#039;t mentally capable of thinking that you might agree with people on some things and not on others. Your Obama Party ideology requires absolute agreement with Obama on everything, and if you don&#039;t, you are denounced as an ignorant racist.

All you demonstrate, Mike R, is that you are stupid and easily susceptible to bad propaganda. This is no doubt why you vote for Obama and worship Obama as your god.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love how Mike R attempts this entertaining legal theory.



&lt;blockquote&gt;Right to work laws forbid employees and employers from entering into voluntary contracts. 

Comment by Mike R. — November 12, 2012 @ 10:34 pm - November 12, 2012&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So according to Mike R, anything that prevents an employer from entering into whatever contract they like with an employer is a violation of rights and should be abhorred.

Perhaps Mike R ought to learn about the Norris-LaGuardia Act, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-dog_contract&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;which explicitly bans agreements between employees and employers that the employee will NOT join a union and pay dues as a condition of employment&lt;/a&gt;.

By the way, Ayn Rand opposed THAT, too.

Now, if Mike R were being consistent, he would denounce both as being violations of workers&#039; rights and demand that Norris-LaGuardia be repealed. But of course, he&#039;s not; what he&#039;s objecting to are the provisions of right-to-work laws that make it impossible (technically, unenforceable under law) for unions to demand that people make regular payments to union bosses and the Obama Party in order for them to keep their jobs.

Why? Because when workers aren&#039;t compelled to join a union and pay dues, &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304821304577436462413999718.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;they don&#039;t&lt;/a&gt;, and the Obama Party&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; would go bankrupt without these compelled contributions&lt;/a&gt;.

That&#039;s really it. Mike R and his fellow Obama puppets don&#039;t care about workers or their rights; what they care about are keeping those forced dues coming into the Obama Party&#039;s coffers.]]></description>

How is a Union board &quot;representing&quot; it&#039;s members&#039; interests any different than a corporate Board representing it&#039;s shareholders&#039; interests?  If you object to the financial distortion to the political process, ...Ban Them Both from Participating.
