On the one hand you will argue that it is a shame that people would have to move out of san diego to find affordable housing. That they should not have to.
Yet your argument for pensions is that people who do not work in the public sector should not get them. That the solution is for us chumps in the private sector to quit and get a public sector job.
You love to argue how in favor of the workers, that the working class should receive all corporate profits but you are plenty satisfied with the differences in how the private and public working class employees are treated.
In your utopia shouldn’t all working class employees receive the exact same treatment?
Why shouldn’t they get the exact same benefit?[/quote]
Where in the world did you get the idea that I think private sector workers shouldn’t get decent pay and benefits?!?!?!
To the contrary, I understand that the age-old division is NOT between public and private workers, but between labor and capital — always was, and always will be. The people who have destroyed the private sector jobs are the very ones who have concocted this artifical division between “private” and “public” sector workers. They are the ones beind the attacks on unions. They are trying to divide and conquer the workers all around the globe so that they can move forward with their agenda to control all natural resources and cash flows.
Personally, I think that if executives and shareholders want to be exempt from personal liability via incorporation/limited liability, etc., then their “rights” to profits should be limited as well. Those profits were created by the workers, and they are the ones who should be getting the bulk of the benefit from the value THEY create.
If capitalists want “unlimited” personal profits, then they need to take “unlimited” PERSONAL risks. Period.
Unfortunately, the sheeple in the private sector bought the lies that “unions are bad, and globalization is good,” and they are reaping the consequences. Where were they — where were YOU — when the unions were fighting the changes in tax and trade policies that allowed our corporations and the capitalists behind them to hollow out our economy and created the greatest wealth disparity in our history?
