The World You’ll Come to Know

18 October 2008, 06:27

My father also devoted his life to his union, we put him to rest this summer , until I read your artcle it never dawned on me , but nobody showed from that point in his life for the funeral. What he did install in me was a hard work ethic, I put that to work along with some college and have done well in my own business, and may I add I proudly employ union employees. I have devoted my life to building my business and in slow years some my employees take home pay was higher then my own.
I compete against firms that hire illegal help that can afford to pay 5 or 6 employees for what it costs me to pay wages and bennies for one employee. Tell me why i should continue to kill myself trying to make a buck, it would be so much easier to just do nothing and have obama spread the so called wealth with me. I need people of great wealth to purchase my product and keep my employees working, tax them and they cut back purchasing from me and others that provide hard working people with a decent wage and great health plans, my father killed himself bringing better benefits to workers and I truly beleive people are deserving of them they earned it. But that is the key they earned it, you have to work for it, no free rides. if you think you can sit on your butt untill your 40 and the world owes you, wake up any time now. organized labor is good but any local will tell you , you must work for it nothing comes for free.
