Pander to Unions, Lefties; call it reform

Finance bill favors interests of unions, activists – Washington Times: Bill attacks America.
“The financial reform bill expected to clear Congress this week is chock-full of provisions that have little to do with the financial crisis but cater to the long-standing agendas of labor unions and other Democratic interest groups.”
Once again the liberals, aka Democrats, are doing what they do best; destroy America by pandering to the radical left, by undermining the United States by destroying what makes the United States great. If this legislation passes into law, we are in for rough decade, and possibly the end of the United States.
Principal among them [Union, lefty wish-list items] is a measure to make it easier for unions, environmental groups and other activist organizations that hold shares to put their representatives on the boards of directors of every corporation in the United States.
The so-called “proxy access” provision, which activist groups say they will use to try to improve oversight of corporate financial practices, has provoked a backlash from the Business Roundtable, U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other major non-Wall Street business groups.
This is what the leftists call “fair.” I think we need a bill that allows companies to have representatives in key Union positions. What is good for the Goose …
Other provisions of the financial legislation, which goes before the full Senate on Thursday for a vote and likely passage, favor Democratic constituencies directly by requiring banks and federal agencies to hire and do more business with them.
The bill would create more than 20 “offices of minority and women inclusion” at the Treasury, Federal Reserve and other government agencies, to ensure they employ more women and minorities and grant more federal contracts to more women- and minority-owned businesses.
In other words, Screw Whitey. It’s as if the 60′s had never happened. This bill is nothing but pandering to the extremes of society. The layabouts, the ne’er do wells, the Democratic voter base. This is nothing but buying votes. It is hollow, shallow, and anti-American. These liberals don’t care about the United States, they hate the United States; that much is clear.
This bill, I believe, will cause many companies to go private. It will also mean that companies that had planned to go public, will not. It will also mean that many public companies will be forced to engage in idiotic “feel good” practices that hurt the bottom line.
This of course will hurt the Market and anyone who has a Pension or retirement account. Many of whom are Union members. No doubt the Union will once again attempt to get the Government to cover the Unions’ losses with taxpayer money that were caused by the Unions and their puppets in Congress.
It will also cause many banks to go out of business, which I believe is one of the results the leftists want. Bigger companies are easier to control. Fewer companies to control, the easier it is to control the populace, and reward Unions for backing you. It’s callous vote-buying, and shallow politics.
Once again the Democrat party has put itself, and the interest of it’s puppet masters ahead of the country. They have violated their Oaths, and have proven conclusively that the Democrats are Socialists. Wake up Democrat members, you are voting for the destruction of the United States.
