BloggeRhythms 2/26/2012

I saw a headline on Drudge that sent me to a short article I had to read a few times, to be certain I understood it. According to the author,  Alexander Burns of Politico, the United Auto Workers union is going to fly a banner at today's Daytona 500 auto race which says, "Mitt Romney: Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"

The purpose is to highlight Romney's belief that U.S. automakers shouldn't have been bailed out by taxpayers, but instead simply have filed for bankruptcy and reorganized on their own.

Now naturally, the unions despise Romney for his audacity in believing that businesses should succeed or fail on their own, which from a union's perspective is blasphemous. Because if you remove a parasites source of nourishment it's likely to soon expire. And that's what caught my eye about this article in the first place.

Because here we have a group (the union) which does nothing productive at all. However, by banding workers together, they mass enough influence and strength to hold labor for ransom, enabling them to continually increase demands. So much so, that in the particular case of manufacturing vehicles they almost single-handedly closed the whole U.S. industry down.

And what's most incredible to me about today's plan for the banner display is the level of audacity reached by a band of leeches who bled almost a whole industry dry and now turns around to point fingers at someone who had the gall to mention that fact. To me this is like a large gang of bank robbers carrying signs protesting the hiring of guards.

On the other hand, the good news for Romney is that it's likely that very few NASCAR fans know how to read.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
