Tugging at my ‘heart TARP
Strings’ Like some “B” movie plot, I can just hear the dialog now:
Gangster: “We gave you the money, see”
Banker: ” Yea;… but, we didn’t want the money and we didn’t ask for
it”
Gangster: “Well, you took money – and now – you’re gonna do what we
say – see?”
As the Chi-town political thugs
and fellow conspirators complete their beat-down mugging and final take over of
rival “family business” – Congress; their enforcer ‘Big Labor’ is out front
demanding that fellow wise guy T. Geithner “muzzle the companies if they won’t muzzle
themselves“ Source
Reviewing
TARP
is the Trouble Assets Relief Program, a Guv’ment program to help prop-up some
of the failing financial institutions with tax payer monies.
Big
Labor desperately wants to increase union membership. One certain way to do
this is through ‘Card Check’ – the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) as its also
known. Card Check, if passed, would
allow the union to come to any business and establish a union with NO SECRET BALLOT. All that has to be done is to get 50% of the
employees plus one person to be ‘persuaded’ into signing a petition for the
union and viola – the company is unionized!
Those two items are related
in this way:
Big Labor Union bosses are
pressuring their ‘willing accomplice’: Congress, to intimidate TARP recipient
businesses by compelling silence on the Card Check legislation.
While topics for another
discussion: – the efficacy of big labor
(E.G.
auto makers) and the once sacrosanct right of all American’s ‘the secret Ballot’;
– it’s evidently clear that “Hope and
Change” also stand for Extortion and Coercion.
This is a dark, dangerous,
purgatorial place, where the interests of Big Government and Big Labor intersect to
collude and conspire against the all Americans via their ongoing War on
Business.
For “The Business of America –
is Business!” If you kill business – you kill
