Gawain 0 #26 August 5, 2008 Quote Quote so basically it's all hot air? Basically. Quote Explain to me how any country's politics are any different in that regard. The US is the only western country not to have a major labour based political party and it also has around the third worst labour laws of the hemisphere. You obviously aren't tied in with any Unions in the US. Or the democrat party. The employee standards in the US are pretty damn good, by any measure.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

You obviously aren't tied in with any Unions in the US. Or the democrat party. The Democratic party represent one half of US business. Quote The employee standards in the US are pretty damn good, by any measure. No by every single measure they are one of the worst in the Western world and you can date it back to the virtual destruction of the US labour movement from the mid 19th to early 20th century. Wages in the US have stagnated and declined while profits have soared for decades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #33 August 6, 2008 QuoteSimple - Who ever has the most money in thier campaign fund, wins the election. Nope. Ross Perot lost twice. And the GOP usually outdoes the Democratic party on fundraising. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #34 August 6, 2008 Oh yes, you are correct. $$ is what wins in the courtroom. Silly me. Sucking up to the minorities, big business, and special-interest groups is what wins elections. I actually liked Perot. Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
