[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1020214, member: 16651"] TechGrrl; What's utterly despicable, though, is how those "right to work" states are doing [relatively] so well economically. Has to really tee a union member off to read how Oklahoma City - situated in the second-to-last state to go "rtw" - now leads the nation in job growth. Or how Indiana, the most recent "rtw" state, is attracting plants that have been closed-down in other locales. But, of course, union members really don't want or need jobs, do they? [he questions sarcastically] "Yes", how they will govern IS "right there in front of our eyes". "They" look out for workers - and workers jobs - because THEY are the ones who create, maintain, and provide the jobs workers depend on. Romney, for all his perceived faults (and I'll admit that I'm far from a big fan!), at least has EMPLOYED workers using his OWN wealth which HE generated....tons of them, in fact. What has Obama done along those lines? Hired and paid a personal maid or two perhaps? Maybe a chauffeur or bodyguard? Beyond that, what has he done for the economy over his term of office? As I see it, he's now a "known quantity". He has absolutely no experience in the provision of jobs, very little experience in any other form of productive endeavor (look at his academic, job, and personal history), and has utterly failed in what he said he was going to do during his term of office. You KNOW he can't cut it! Now maybe Romney can't either; in that sense, he's an "unknown". But at least he HAS provided workers with jobs. He DOES know how the economy works from past experience, and there's at least a CHANCE he could bring things around. So what's "labor's" choice? Someone like Obama who has demonstrated that he can't do anything for them? Or the guy who COULD change things? Personally, I'd take a "maybe" over a "nope" any day of the week. I kinda' think of this election as involving the process I used when switching TV providers recently. I.e. - I'm not sure if my new one (put company name here) will be any better than my old one (put other company here)...but it sure as heck can't be any worse. [/QUOTE]
