liberal,progressives,anti-capitalist such as Obama and his ilk is unlike them I KNOW that the economic pie gets bigger. They on the other hand are like packs of dogs. Constantly fighting over that chunk of meat. Snarling to protect their share.
The reason I KNOW the economic pie grows bigger and bigger and yes being a realist I KNOW some folks have a bigger slice then I have.. So be it!
But I want the pie to grow bigger because even the small slice I have will get bigger as the pie grows!
That is why most conservatives are also builders and not destroyers.
Notice in liberal/progressive/democrats/Obama how frequently they use the term "FIGHT", or get even!
Constantly a battle between THEM and someone either a big evil company, or utility or greedy stockholders!
Given these liberals that in their head they are "fighting for the little guy" they just don't understand the simple facts of economics.
Their solutions are raising more taxes. Their solutions are more non-profits.
Both their solutions take money away and don't build.
It's like they never read the nursery story "To kill the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs"
is an idiom used of an unprofitable action motivated by greed. It refers to one of Aesop's Fables..
Again.. greed.. limited imaginations. animals tearing away... that's the image I have of liberals/progressives !
And a real illustration of that is the destruction of Detroit.
WAYNE -- Ken Pool is making good money.
On weekdays, he shows up at 7 a.m. at Ford Motor Co.'s Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, signs in, and then starts working -- on a crossword puzzle. Pool hates the monotony, but the pay is good: more than $31 an hour, plus benefits.
"We just go in and play crossword puzzles, watch videos that someone brings in or read the newspaper," he says. "Otherwise, I've just sat."
Pool is one of more than 12,000 American autoworkers who, instead of installing windshields or bending sheet metal, spend their days counting the hours in a jobs bank set up by Detroit automakers and Delphi Corp. as part of an extraordinary job security agreement with the United Auto Workers union.
The jobs bank programs were the price the industry paid in the 1980s to win UAW support for controversial efforts to boost productivity through increased automation and more flexible manufacturing.
As part of its restructuring under bankruptcy, Delphi is actively pressing the union to give up the program.
With Wall Street wondering how automakers can afford to pay thousands of workers to do nothing as their market share withers, the union is likely to hear a similar message from the Big Three when their contracts with the UAW expire in 2007 -- if not sooner.
"It's an albatross around their necks," said Steven Szakaly, an economist with the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor. "It's a huge number of workers doing nothing. That has a very large effect on their future earnings outlook."
