Retired union workers facing 'unprecedented' pension cuts

[Clubber Lang]

Quote from bigarrow:

In a New York Times article about a drive led by the United Automobile Workers (UAW) to unionize Nissan’s workforce at a factory in Canton, Mississippi, various local businessmen are quoted extolling the value to Mississippi of being a “right-to-work state” and maintaining a “non-union environment.” Given the economic condition of Mississippi, one has to wonder who, exactly, has benefited from Mississippi’s anti-unionism. Mississippi has been a “right-to-work” state for nearly 60 years, plenty of time to benefit from its non-union environment, but its per capita income in 2012 was the lowest in the United States—not just low, but dead last. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the nation, as well. 1 out of 5 Mississippi households has income beneath the official poverty line. (“Right-to-work” seems to be associated with high poverty since 9 of the 10 highest poverty states are “right-to-work.”) Does the future look brighter? Not much. In terms of education, Mississippi is at the bottom again, ranking last in test scores on the gold standard National Assessment of Education Progress. Mississippi is the only state in which fewer than 1 out of 5 eight graders is proficient in math and reading. Mississippi’s low rate of unionization has not led to prosperity. It might be time to try something new. - See more at: http://www.epi.org/blog/benefited-mississippis-anti-unionism-workers/#sthash.C9ZJO96j.dpuf

Ughhhhh, stupidity at its finest.

Mississippi is a poverty stricken dump due to one reason- 37% of the population is black. That is far and away the highest % of blacks in any state (next is Louisiana at 31%).

I'm sure any day now black people will realize their beloved democrats have kept them living on the plantation. Then again, probably not.

LOL

If we had people that make the laws that could actually solve anything they would make sure that workers were treated well, had choices of jobs and a guaranteed minimum retirement that didn't reside with the employers and leave the rest up to the individuals and their families. They would have simply passed laws that made insurance companies act like decent citizens instead of handing us this shitpile ACA thingy...

What do you mean racism, I said nothing of the sort. I only said what I did because you were quoting from the KKK HANDBOOK don't know the page you'll have to tell us that one.

Great post! So true!

The typical black American is born into racism among their own family, friends, etc., and are taught (brainwashed!) at an early age that whitey is bad, and whitey owes them something due to a travesty that happened hundreds of years ago. The smart (rare) blacks who realize it's bullshit, break out of it and make something of themselves. The rest/majority? Yep, they continue to vote for the very same scumbags (demotrash), who are like you said, "keeping them on the plantation." It's one of those things that boggles my mind that a race could be so damned dumb, and blind.

LOL, but they do that;
it's not near as effective as it used to be.

When rep Charles Rangel[D,NY] called low taxes, a code word for racism + later got a public rebuke for not paying his proper amount of taxes.....LOL

I am not saying Rep Rangel is a racist, he may be; but most likely he is simply another lie like a persian rug .......................................................................................................................................................................................................

Poor bentarrow. He doesn't seem to understand that there are MUCH more powers at work here than some kkk/racial shit. i.e., vote buying, power hungry demonazi liberals, hellbent on destroying traditional America who USE blacks (sheep!) to keep them in power. When camperarrow tried to claim he had a higher iq than luke (who cares about that stuff anyway?), that pretty much summed up for me that the guy's mentally ill, just like the rest of the libs who are sadly allowed out in society.

Since camperarrow brought up the kkk, I'll opine. I grew up in New Orleans, and had tons of black friends as well as whites. My Dad and Mom would have knocked my head off if I said the word nigger. I also fully believed that the kkk was a bunch of thug white trash. I wouldn't want anything to do with them today either. However, the ONE thing I'll point out about the kkk is that their fears from decades ago have come to fruition today...

Recently, a kkk group went around Jacksonville, FL throwing leaflets out on lawns trying to recruit. Problem is, they went to black neighborhoods thinking they were in white neighborhoods. Lol! When some blacks were interviewed, they were flipping out saying, "we are so hurt over the hate we saw." Ok... What are us white folks supposed to say when we see the black panthers throwing recruiting leaflets out, and BLOCKING whites from polling stations? That's right. Absolutely nothing! After all, whitey is bad and "deserves" it...

You want to tell your fellow bleeding heart liberals about your time in the KKK?

After all, you are quite certain he is quoting from the "HANDBOOK".

I didn't know the kkk even had a handbook. I thought they just ran around, and hated on races they didn't like. Looks like camperarrow is showing his true racist...er, I mean democrat side.
