Baby steps. First we get the new people to speak the language and then we go after ebonics.

To me, it seems like a form of welfare for those who are alredy in a sh*tload of money. It's grossly unfair, and a waste of money that can go elsewhere.

If you're going to be against welfare, at least do us the favor of being consistent about it Mr. Fun.

In order for welfare to be ethical really, I think it should only provide resources for those who NEED it.

The logic the politicians are using is that these companies will go bankrupt or move their opporations unless they recieve a subsidy. Of course if taxes & red tape were lower then they wouldn't be competetively handicaped and so wouldn't have grounds to ask for a subsidy.

quote: Originally posted by St Leo VIII is interesting because the Right-to-a-Job is something right-wingers are likelier to harp about than left-wingers. After all, they tend to be the ones whose platforms revolve around "more employment opportunities".

That's just plain untrue. The US Labor Party, of which I am a member, has a national Righ to Work Amendment campaign going on. All leftists argue not only for a right to work, but a right not to work, too.
