When the government has a national thug turn in day where the tec-9's and their AK's get turned in by the gang bangers, and thugs, and Ass- ho##s, then I'll entertain the thought of gun control. I hate to admit it, but the present culture of proposed gun control simply wont work. This control will keep the good guys at bay, and the bad guys will have free reign. Sorry, I'm not gonna take that chance. CC permit is the way to go! Responsible gun owners are punished for jerks, nut cases, and pure idiots in society. I have no problem with registration of guns. I have a problem with lack of mental health system as we know it in our country as it stands today. When gov't. cut backs cleared out the old mental facilities in the 80's and 90's, well, you now see the result. Your looking in the wrong area when it comes to controlling this major problem in society. I've never seen a gun pick itself up and fire................
You want right to work? fine. Should you EXPECT to get the same pay/benefits as the workers who have a contract? Hell no!!! Do you go to the auto dealership and say " I want that car, but I don't want to pay for it?" no, It does not happen that way. You don't get something for nothing, isn't that what all you say about welfare? Now its OK to expect something for nothing. Wishey- washey to me! Tea baggers battle cry, "not gonna ride on my back for free"! You don't want to be part of a union, then get paid what the companies WANT TO PAY YOU!!! Guess what that will be! Hey, the choice is yours. Oh, by the way, ask someone who has worked in a right to work state and ask them how great it is. I have family members who moved back, and they say a non union job in Ohio is way better than a job in a right to work state, and unions weren't even the issue! Pay/ work conditions way better in a non right to work state. Employers in these right to work states have total control over employees, working conditions are worse than most of you backing these idiots know! We should believe the tea baggers backing this garbage, they have clout, Right? You think its all good? Wait till it affects YOU!!
Sorry out there. The time has come where you gotta have the right to protect yourself, yes, even when your out at dinner. Sad, sad times are upon us. At one time I didnt agree with the gun carrying "nuts" out there. Well, now I see the light. I am one! Sad.
You OK. How many times can you beat a dead horse? How many more ways can Bert put a new spin on the same old story? SB5, was defeated, and the Republiturds have been defeated, and turned back. You seem to lop all Public employees into this same old spin of greedy, over paid employees. Stop. It's called "Cadillac pensions" when puublic employees retire. OK. If your so outraged about these "outragous" pensions, why no out rage about CEO's who get millions in bonuses while the same company they work for goes belly-up? (Hostess), and screw hard working people out of their jobs after they took concesion after concesion, and still lost. Some of you out there hide behind their key board, and bit#h about public employee wages/pensions when they themselves make 6-7 digit figures themselves! The Vindy editor is asking for clarity in politicians pensions/benefits. Show us berts wage/benefit package. Show us the top dawgs in the vindy wage/bene/pension packages. I believe they will tell you they dont have to, its private. Huh? Didn't we ask for berts info when SB5 was going on? No response. Why does bert care soo much about this? Resentment? oh yeah, he cares sooo much about the people and the valley tax payers. My man was so wishey-washey on SB5, you didnt know where he was comming from towards the end of that nightmare.I guess people like that always wanna be on the winning team. Remember this: We all chose our path in life. Some made good choices, some bad. Accept yours! What you and yours out there should really be upset about is priests who touch little boys, Companies that go belly up making CEO's dirty rich while working men get unemployed, the east coast screwed over because of no support for the sandy victims, etc, etc................ Move on.
Nacho, and all the other right to work supporters, remember this: If right to work comes to Ohio, do you think the work place will become better??? Do you really think that if they curtail unions and their say at the "table" that things will be "better" for the non union workers?? Do you really think that it will make things as you say out there more fair??? NO!! Do you think you will have the chance for better wages under rtw rules?? I see it like this: You dont wanna pay for the wages/ benefits that the unions have fought for, then get YOUR OWN RIGHT TO WORK WAGES which will be lower Im sure! Your not gonna ride my back for free! (Isn't this the tea baggers battle cry!!!) how ironic, isn't it? the rights of the employee will be less and the abusive power of the employer, I.E. "Bossman" will be greater. Dont think so? Ask employees of a right to work state about that. I have family who worked down south and HATED IT!!! Fact: Right to work means more work for less money which does nothing for the ecomony. Came back and got a better paying job, and yep, it was non-union!! Go figure that: A better, non union job in a union state!! This is what im tellin you,Job quality,pay scales, and work conditions will suffer like they do in rtw states. You get what you ask for!!!You think that its all good? Move. wait till it affects you! Bottom line. the domino effect. If it gets bad for union workers, and their jobs, they will more than abuse the non union workers even more than they already do im sure! why? Because they now would have the tools to do so. Food for thought.
Remember this: If unions loose their bargining rights and power for example to wages, the lower wage the unions make, The non union wages will become even lower. Your work place enviornments will be worse. why. because they can. My cousin worked in High Point NC, a right to work state. One week, he's at 38 hrs. Next week, 8Hrs. Very Inconsistant work hours and rules. When he questioned this form of work place scheduling, he was told that if he didnt like it, go back north. He did, and found a decent paying job! He said he will NEVER go back and work in a "right to work" state again. By the way: after questioning his employer on inconsistant work patterns, he was placed "on call" as punshiment for questioning the"bosses". Ohio, is this how you want YOUR workplace enviornment to be?? Im sure some of your workplace enviornments are exactly like this now, and here. Under right to work laws, IT WILL BE WORSE!!! My cousin also stated that he didn't know how good he had it, WE have it in a union state! ( He does not work for a union company presently) Food for thought. So, If you think that "curtailing" unions won't affect you, guess again!!!And by the way, if you think the ecomony is better in a right to work state, also guess again. Yes, there are more jobs. The reason for such is constant turn over due to employee abuse and dissataification due to low wages and benefits because due to right to work laws, the bosses (Employers) can get away with it. So, again, if thats the lifestyle you want for you and your family, so be it. Economics 101: Low wages equal low pay which equals low spending which equals bad ecomony which equals..... well you get it, dont ya???
I see, Its ok in the corporation if somebody blows and sleeps and kisses up tp the top, excluding their qualifications?? BEEN THERE!!! AFD took the guy who knew the system and was a perfect fit that cost the tax payers LESS in the long run than if they had to pay large amounts of money to have a search for the job, and then to train them to AFD's systems. Its called more bang for the taxpayer buck, you idiots!!! Quit ur winning and bitc##en, please. Know what your talking about before you post!
For the LAST time joe, get over it!!! The majority of Americans have spoken! The Majority of Americans dont want a Radical form of goverment who only caters to the ultra wealthy and powerful, it was just proven that money and power cant buy votes!!! GET THE HELL OVER IT PLEASE!!! If you and others like Joe dont like our election process, Please, go to another country and try theirs!!! Maybe, just maybe Joe, we dont want your kind around!!!

Remember this: If unions loose their bargining rights and power for example to wages, the lower wage the unions make, The non union wages will become even lower.
