Denied my inalienable right
02.03.12 (9:54 am) [edit]Am I not guaranteed the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. What gives a right wing Governor and her minions the right to deny me the opportunity to organize and form a bargaining union for wages and benefits that I think I am worth. A right to work state as decided by the Governor and the legislature is no different from the working conditions in China and other slave labor countries where the government decides your wages and benefits. Since the Governor and the legislature is elected by the citizens of the state why can't the decision to be allowed to form a collectively bargaining union be decided by the citizens. Did the Governor and her minions become omniscient all of a sudden or could it be like the Supreme Court said, money talks. The right to work states provide no significant benefits because the unemployment rate is the same or higher than in unionized states. If we are a Democratic Republic what happened to we the people rather than the Governor her minions and the corporate world. Unions never took a dime from me that I didn't vote on, it was always majority rule. Why is a corporation allowed to form a political action committee with investors fund give it to a particular candidate without the investors consent but laborers are denied the same right. If a right to work state is so important to a corporation why did over 400 textile manufacturers leave the deep south right to work states all the way from Virginia to Arizona for foreign countries like China,Vietnam, India and Bangladesh other than to enslave workers and deprive them of a living wage. People need to look and listen to what is happening because we are being sold out by our government to the highest political donor for the purpose of enslaving us. Mitt Romney has said he is not concerned about the very rich or very poor but he will concentrate on the shrinking middle class. I bet it is to hasten their exit to that safety net that the very poor is resting on if you consider what he did in Arkansas, Indiana and South Carolina.
