Another victory for big business. The little guy gets screwed again.

Interesting to note;

It has nothing to do if whether the law is just, or not......

"Daniels, governor since 2005 and a prominent spokesman for Republicans nationally, said he decided Indiana needed the controversial new law after several businesses decided to locate elsewhere."

....it was because "several businesses decide to locate elsewhere."

Just another way for Republicans to transfer more wealth from the working class to wealthy. That's all.

Cheaper, more docile workforce, little regulation, lower taxes..............

Can't help but wonder what they'll demand next?

Maybe the "Little Guy" needs to take advantage of all the opportunities this country offers them.

Oh wait, that would take effort...my mistake.

Wasn't Gingrich already hinting at removing some child labor laws?

Bet he has a shrine to Carnegie and Rockefeller in his house.

How does the lack of "Right to Work" laws hinder anyone from finding success in this country? Why must others have to give anything up to, ostensibly, "clear the path" for someone else to "succeed"?

What? One guy making $25 an hour as a machinist makes it impossible for someone else to "realize their dreams"? How so?

Business don't want to be where they have to deal with employees on something close to even terms. Anything they can do to weaken unions they will.

I understand this. I was just curious what the plan was to keep them from going?

It doesn't. The problem is that they have somewhere to go.............

Have you ever asked yourself why the answer always has to be to give them whatever they want? Have you ever wondered where it ends and where that road leads?

Look at AZ. It's already "Right to Work" state----not good enough. Now, they moving to to strip the ability to organize outright. Tell me, what comes after that?
