I’m Against It
By: Groucho Marx w/ Reginald Barlow, 1932
[Groucho]
Blue Eyes, I think they wrote this song in honor of you.
I don’t know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I’m against it.
Your proposition may be good,
But let’s have one thing understood,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,
I’m against it.
I’m opposed to it,
On general principle, I’m opposed to it.
[chorus] He’s opposed to it.
In fact, indeed, that he’s opposed to it!
[Groucho]
For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night to morn,
Whatever it is, I’m against it.
And I’ve kept yelling since I first commenced it,
I’m against it!
poor people with little education are probably destined to stay poor. while i am completely for the government subsidizing education to make it more accessible and of a higher quality, it is not the job of our government to enable unions to force a higher wage for jobs that are performed for pennies on the dollar elsewhere. over time, and at a macro level, if this continues to happen, our products and services will never be able to compete globally. so in answer to your question, yes, unions are one of the key ways poor people with little education can become middles class; however, (a) it is NOT the job of the government to enable them to do so, (b) poor becoming middle class is a short term solution that will bring about greater problems in the long run.
this is irrelevant. you state it like it is a negative, but there could be positive impact by him doing this.
It seems like Obama wants the entire country unionized.
This guy is in left field, I just heard that he made it possible for people to sue for discrimination even if it was decades ago. Also employers might have to hang posters that list the rights of employees to organize.
Even I underestimated how fast he can destroy this country.
great, now the american automakers will continue to bring you another 10 years of cavaliers with cobalt badges, and plenty of over priced shit nobody wants.
