Detroit activists call for UN help as city shuts off water for thousands

[kenny]

The democrat party, funded and elected by the labor unions have made the laws and set the policies for Detroit for over a half century, so of course they are responsible for the outcome of those laws and policies. To reach any other conclusion is intellectually dishonest or just plain stupid.

A correlation to this would be the current Obama administration's policies and laws. It's ironic and dishonest when the current administration talks about caring about the poor and fighting against evil bankers and Wall Street when the numbers show there are more poor Americans than ever, the banks "to large to fail" are even larger, and the stock market is hovering around 17,000.
Watch what Obama does, not what he says....

It is what they do kenny, lie, cheat and steal until there is nothing left to devour and then move on. The locust party.

Sounds to me like you still blame the poor and the dems and the unions and call it a success. Weird way of words but I never said I was brilliant to anyone.
Texas has her problems and the main one (ex democrat Guvner))has finally said he will move or wants to move to California.Yehhhha
I sure hope he goes on the next private jet out.
Now talk about peoples money leaving Texas, he is the best example. Turning down 100billion to help the Medicaid program here in Texas and pay for low income Texans medical Insurance we now get to pay out twice!!! Once to the Feds that ends up going to other states and then another time to still help the Medicaid recipients here in Texas!! Cant say Texans don't give to the poor!!
Low income jobs Texas, Right to Fire State and Employment at Will is his fighting words to bring business here.
I know this aint convincing anyone so might as well talk fishing.

Lmao. Cali doesn't want that ignorant p.o.s moving there. Well, maybe Bakersfield will take his stinking arse

Not at all, as long as they supply a pension, great medical, vacation time, family leave time, double time for OT, and whatever else our union brothers and sisters have fought for, the last 100 years. Now that's a successful business model plan.
Yeah, the cheerleader has really helped the poor and the middleclass here in Texas.

Exactly what I said, the dem union success just like detroit, chicago, new york, california, etc etc. There is a reason that businesses and people are flocking to Texas and it ain't your union brotherhood. They are coming here for things like jobs, lower taxes, open shops, pretty much everything that you are against.

y'all have a great day!

[mgstei1]

Exactly what I said, the business owners and corporations like in Detroit, Chicago, new York,california, etc. etc. will cause the same here in Texas for all the working classes. They all want cheap labor, no benefit working environment, and be able to fire and manipulate workers at will.
And after outsourcing all the jobs for even cheaper labor overseas.
It will happen here and has already started.

Im taking grandkids to Moody gardens and the Rain Forrest. Tx's for the great day wish Boom, I will.

I don't like tax cuts or what I call entitlements to the oil companies
agree.

Dude...explain what you mean by that dumbas$$ss assessment. And you do know that if it weren't for Oil Companies you'd probably be speaking German don't you?

[Robalo]

JT: He'd be bowing to the Emperor while begging for his life to be spared-sorta like Obama did.

He also fails to understand that Obama spins "Manufacturing Tax Write-offs" (which apply to those Union shops also that support his former job) as "entitlements".

How much does your Union pay in Taxes per year? What "entitlements" do they take?

How come you're not inviting and supporting with your Union pension those fine 'Christian' "Human Crisis Unaccompanied Children" a/k/a illegals, yourself instead of letting Taxpayers' support them? "adopt an illegal" should be the new 2016 Democrat Campaign Motto.

[Robalo]

I don't like tax cuts or what I call entitlements to the oil companies and Corps like GE either.

Don't mention anything bad about Jeff Immelt/GE or Obama will disown you and your Obama phone will suddenly be cut-off. Obama's in Immelt's pocket.

BTW, what about Delphi? You like them? Obama made sure his Union boys got taken care of while letting low-level staff lose everything-all their retirement and pensions-another score for Obama-screwing the little old lady that worked at Delphi answering phones for 35 years-she lost everything and lives on the street now while Obama's union fatties got fatter off taxpayer funds bailing their azz out. Pretty darn sad.
