Citing Obamacare, 40,000 Longshoremen Quit the AFL-CIO

WOW! Interesting we hear about this first from the Canadian press.

You "heard about this first" from what is basically Breitbart Snow Edition.

Oh wait. You probably think Breitbart presents things accurately.
 
Even Union Members (which are not rocket scientists) can see that this monstrosity is an Obamanation ?

Is there a single conservative anywhere who didn't just take this article at face value? Do any of you ever check anything you're told?
 
government take over of health care isn't a socialist idea? Government take over of an automotive company isn't a socialist idea? the million he had government invest into green energy programs that the majority have failed isn't a socialist idea. Sir you have no clue what is socialism

Neither of those things happened. Stop letting right-wing propaganda dictate your every thought.
 
yeah trfjr Barack is the champion of the 1% He wants capitalism to thrive and grow!
If it wasn't for the party of NO we'd all already have a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage and free healthcare for all!

GM is still an autonomous entity. Health care regulation is not a "takeover." I'm a pilot. There's a lot of regulations I must follow. Congress just added a significant regulation regarding hiring airline pilots. This doesn't mean we have socialized air travel. words mean things.
 
things are unconcerned with what words you use to describe them
so chose your words with care

Apples and oranges, damn why do I even try? Please let us know next time one of your congressmen grabs your balls in the cockpit and ask you to cough. no pun intended

Some of the unions want additional subsidies, on top of the tax privileges their benefits already enjoy. The primary reason being that affordable, accessible coverage is now going to be available to their members (and all Americans) in the marketplace outside the union, potentially removing a major incentive for joining the union in the first place. Which means they either find a way to sweeten the deal for their members or the union's influence takes a substantial hit.

So from the standpoint of pure rational self-interest, it makes perfect sense for some to demand additional subsidies. What's fascinating is how they're enlisting the right as unlikely allies in this little rent-seeking ploy. Pretty masterful, actually,
