Kudos! Excellently expressed.

Why blame Obama for the mess that Bush and his cronies (i.e. Cheney & Rove) left in the White House and across the country. God Help us if the Republicans gain any more influence. Next they will be wearing brown shirts and swastikas. Obama in 2012!!!

To DTP here is my wish for you. When you retire may your pension and 401K be reduced drastically. May the cost of your children's education be increased. May your medical insurance be taxed as a benefit. In other words, all of the empathy and sympathy that you are showing others be on your back.This is my curse and blessing for you. One day you will be there. I am sure that when the time comes you won't be so immune.

What I should have said was, if you don't like working at FMC, quit and go somewhere else. No one is forced to stay. Quit your bitching!!!

If you don't like the union, give back your profit sharing check and get a job at Walmart!!We are getting tired of the bullshit that you are throwing around!

Very well expressed.

This guy sounds like a Republican. Everyone knows that you can't win a a discussion with a Republican. They just keep talking and talking until no one can get a word in. But I am so proud of MAP. We should all stand in solidarity against the Union busting, taxing the pensions, and taking over local government.

The Republicans have not changed that we still have freedom of speech. So, we could sit quietly and let these things come to pass, or we can show that we are not happy about it. It could also affect the next election. Don't take food from the old people. If the Tea Party can have open demonstrations, why is it not proper that citizens show that we are very disappointed in Herr Sneider. Check his campaign donations and you will see who he is trying to please. Not the common people, but the wealthy ones who helped him obtain his position. The dragon is awake. The ripple effect has already started.

First Ohio, then Wisconsin, and now Michigan. See how the cards fall. Nobody feeds me bullshit or tells me who to vote for including CAP. You must be a rich man's son, if you think these changes are a good thing. Wake up and smell the bullshit that these Republican Governors are handing us. And when it is too late, try to dig yourself out!!!

The Democratic party did not send a viable candidate against Herr Snyder. If you look at the campaign contributions for Herr Snyder you can see where the interest was. Ford Motor, U of M, DTE, GM and more. He mus be stopped. Break one union, then break another. The Republican have been trying to break the UAW for years.

Why not make it a socialist government and everyone would get the same. Are you telling me that if you had parents living on a small pension every month you wouldn't mind them skipping a day's medication or going without meals because of the tax. If you were knowledgeable you would know that anyone making less then than $45,000 in pension does not have to pay taxes on their pensions. And if they can change the tax on the pension they will also cut funding per child for education, and have taxes on medical benefits too. Once we allow them to change the system when will it stop. You are no better than the Republicans down South and the newspapers who are so concerned that someone might be better off than you. And think that the factory workers are overpaid for what they do. Truthfully, I think Ohio is the ugliest state I have ever driven through.

Dear___________ fill in blank (state senator & rep) Please Vote NO on any proposal to tax pensions A. Seniors who are on a fixed income, that may be tight already will have to choose food or medicine. ...... B. For every dollar you tax us, that is one less dollar we can put back into a failing economy....so who does that really help? C. I can't control the cost of goods and services, but through my vote I can contol who is in Lansing to vote for the People and By the People. Thank you, YOUR NAME

We hear you. Quit shouting!

ASBL is just a jerk trying to keep things stirred. Just ignore him and maybe he will go away. He has written inflammatory posts on several subjects. He might not be a Ford worker or if he is might be angry at making $14.00 an hour. Don't give his posts any importance. He just signed up Jan. 3 and everything he has written is intended to anger.
