[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 827738, member: 17969"] The republicans in congress and the senate along with the RNC have done a good job of convincing its followers that Unions and Labor Laws are no longer needed in todays business model. Republicans have even gone as far as trying to eliminate OSHA in this latest budget proposal. If they could eliminate unions and take control of the house and senate, they could repeal the "fair labor standards act of 1938" a goal that has been on the books since Ronald Reagan was president. Sure, the republicans want americans to have jobs, they just want them to have 2 or 3 jobs in order to get by. I asked a question to any republican on this board if they would support a 50% cut in pay for congress, but not one will engage in this topic. I say, all congressmen go back to the $6.00 a day pay (when they showed up) that was the original intent of the founding fathers. If tea party drones really believe in going back to what was "originally" intended by the founding fathers, then 6 bucks should cover it. But , as hypocrisy would have it, they only believe taking away from the elder citizens is the way to balance a budget while the richest americans get richer. The tea party movement is probably the biggest scam ever layed upon the feet of the american populus since the trickle down theory. Peace. [/QUOTE]
