Just another penny on the dollar. What’s one more penny? After all, we all (all?) must pay our fair share. Let’s take a closer look.
A worker earns a dollar. The politicians want some of it. The feds take 7-plus cents for Social Security and Medicare. They take the same again from the business that pays the employee. They give it to us older folks.
Then, the feds/politicians take another chunk for income tax, 5 cents, maybe more, depending on how much you earn. What’s the highest rate? It’s 35 cents, yes?
Of course, the states, cities and local politicians want their cut … that might be another 5, 10, or more cents? So what’s left out of each dollar our workers earn?
We’re not done here. If our workers take what’s left of the dollars they earn, they need to buy some things. Each dollar spent requires another 2, maybe even 10 cents in sales taxes. Where does that money go?

WORKERS AT DETROIT DEFENSE FACTORY CAUGHT ON VIDEO DRINKING AND SMOKING MARIJUANA
Workers at a Detroit defense factory have been caught on video allegedly drinking and smoking marijuana during their lunch breaks — then presumably returning to their jobs where they make parts for armored military vehicles.

NLRB Heralds Labor Day with an Attack on Workers’ Rights
This week, just in time for Labor Day, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) handed down several decisions that undermine workers’ rights to tell union organizers “no.”
In one ruling, Specialty Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center of Mobile, the NLRB radically redefined the definition of a collective bargaining unit—the workers a union represents—to permit micro-unions. Traditionally, unions organize workers who share a community of interest. At a grocery store, for example, a collective bargaining unit would typically represent all the hourly employees.
The NLRB junked that definition in favor of a new standard: Now, instead of one union representing all workers with similar interests, unions could organize smaller micro-unions representing just a few workers. At a store this would allow separate unions to represent just the cashiers while leaving all other workers unorganized.
These rules will allow unions to gerrymander bargaining units to disenfranchise workers that oppose unionizing. If a union knows that the shelf-stockers would vote against unionizing, it can now propose a bargaining unit that excludes them. When the cashiers vote, the shelf-stockers would not get a say. However, the excluded workers would share in all the risks and downsides of unionizing. Strikes will also put them out of work, and if the union bankrupts the company, they will also lose their jobs.
The NLRB has decided that workers who do not want to take these risks will not get to vote. That certainly makes life easier for union organizers, but it hardly enhances workers’ rights.
In a second ruling, Lamons Gasket Co., the NLRB took another swipe at the secret ballot. Under current law, unions do not have to organize workers through secret ballot elections. If a company agrees to it, unions can solicit signatures on union authorization cards.

The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor
by Michelle Malkin
President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime open-borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not."
That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws -- or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.
While in Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in-state tuition discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro-illegal alien worker organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty-supporting Big Labor groups led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer-funded advertising and outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:
"I'm here to tell you that your president, your secretary of labor and this department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay -- especially when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often dangerous hours," Solis says in the video pitch. "We can help, and we will help. If you work in this country, you are protected by our laws. And you can count on the U.S. Department of Labor to see to it that those protections work for you."
To be sure, no one should be scammed out of "fair wages." Employers that hire and exploit illegal immigrant workers deserve full sanctions and punishment. But it's the timing, tone-deafness and underlying blanket amnesty agenda of Solis' illegal alien outreach that has so many American workers and their representatives on Capitol Hill rightly upset.
With double-digit unemployment and a growing nationwide revolt over Washington's border security failures, why has Solis chosen now to hire 250 new government field investigators to bolster her illegal alien workers' rights campaign? (Hint: Leftists unhappy with Obama's lack of progress on "comprehensive immigration reform" need appeasing. This is a quick bone to distract them.)
Unfortunately, the federal government is not alone in lavishing attention and resources on workers who shouldn't be here in the first place. As of 2008, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, Texas and Utah all expressly included illegal aliens in their state workers' compensation plans -- and more than a dozen other states implicitly cover them.
Solis' public service announcement comes on the heels of little-noticed but far more troubling comments encouraging illegal alien workers in the Gulf Coast. Earlier this month, in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, according to Spanish language publication El Diario La Prensa, Solis signaled that her department was going out of its way to shield illegal immigrant laborers involved in cleanup efforts. "My purpose is to assist the workers with respect to safety and protection," she said. "We're protecting all workers regardless of migration status because that's the federal law." She told reporters that her department was in talks with local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who had visited coastal worksites to try to verify that workers were legal.
No word yet on whether she gave ICE her "we are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not" lecture. But it's a safe bet.

Obama Administration to Expand Family Medical Leave Act to Gay and Lesbian Employees
Posted By Eve Zibel On June 22, 2010 @ 4:32 pm In "Don't Ask Don't Tell", Family Medical Leave
7 Comments
The Labor Department is poised to announce new regulations this week that order U.S. employers to give gay employees equal treatment under the law, allowing those workers unpaid time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Critics say the Obama administration is going too far. “They're trying to redefine marriage and family by these arbitrary policies with no debate by congress, no public discussion about it," says Carrie Gordon Earll of Focus on the Family.
Gay rights activists, who strongly supported President Obama’s campaign, wish the administration would go further. “It's not repealing the defense of marriage act, it's a small step but it's an important one," says Brian Moulton of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
The announcement comes as the president declares June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender month, with an event Tuesday night at the White House to celebrate it. But even as some are ready to fete the occasion, the president is already creating a new firestorm, with his recent Mother’s Day and Father’s Day proclamations which referenced families that include “two mothers” and “two fathers,” respectively, a move conservatives criticized and called “divisive.” Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said the president “was just trying to be inclusive of all sorts of families.”
But at an event celebrating Father’s Day on Monday, Obama talked, as he has before, about how he missed having both a father and a mother present while growing up. "He [Obama’s father] left my family when I was two years old. And while I was lucky to have a wonderful mother and loving grandparents who poured everything they had into me and my sister, I still felt the weight of that absence. It's something that leaves a hole in a child's life that no government can fill,” Obama said.
President Obama has said he does not support same-sex marriage, but Carrie Gordon Earll of Focus on the Family says the latest effort by the Labor Department is a unilateral move by the Obama White House designed to eventually bypass the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
“This is just one more example of where the Obama administration is really bypassing the defense of marriage act that defines marriage as one man and one woman,” Earll told Fox News.
Moulton of HRC, a group working on behalf of the LGBT community, says the latest move by the administration is a step in the right direction, toward perhaps an eventual repeal of DOMA. “Certainly it's not medical leave to take care of a partner, it's not repealing the defense of marriage act, it's a small step but it's an important one.”
Meanwhile, it’s not just the Family Medical Leave Act the Obama administration is handling that pertains to the LGBT community. The White House is also focused on the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” – something the president said he would work on in his State of the Union address earlier this year.
“We would like to see it happen sooner, I think we keep moving along a pace and the Pentagon will finish its review and we are hopeful and confident president is going to move toward that certification as soon as possible,” says Moulton.
Critics feel that the military’s policy on gay service members will be one more step toward a further erosion of the Defense of Marriage Act. “The repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell will set the stage for the federal government to have to recognize same sex relationships of identified gays and lesbians in the military," says Earll.
While candidate Obama was popular with the gay and lesbian community for saying he would repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," he began to run into trouble with gay and lesbian organizations once in office. In October of last year, the President had to once again affirm his pledge of repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell at an annual dinner after months of what the community called stalling tactics.
"We cannot afford to cut from our ranks people with the critical skills we need to fight any more than we can afford to force those willing to do so into careers encumbered and compromised by having to live a lie, " Obama said at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Washington on October 10, 2009."So, I'm working with the Pentagon, its leadership and the members of the House and Senate on ending this policy. I will end Don't Ask, Don't Tell. That's my commitment to you." That statement, at the time, was met with applause from those in the room.

Who are the Middle Class and Why we must protect them?
By Cheryl Lee Switzer, Author, Patriot
Today the middle class are the worker bees between the poor and the rich. They are constantly busily buzzing around their family, their community, and their work. They plan and dream; they take risks through innovation and entrepreneurial endeavors and they work extremely hard. They, by their inherent abilities and spirit, are what make our country great.
Now, stop and think about that for a moment – “their inherent abilities and spirit” – what do you think that means? It means that the majority of Americans are free to choose their professions, they are free to make decisions concerning their families, and they are free to take risks with their capital. They are slow to anger; fast to donate to those in need; believe in the law of the land established by our Constitution, and until now trusted government. Middle Class citizens are the backbone of the United States. Why? They hire more workers than anyone, they buy more, they produce more, and they are budget conscious and dependable.
The lower class – the poorest of our society for the most part – are on welfare, food stamps, and other government funded assistance and housing. They know a check is coming every month. So why should they work? Why should they try to get ahead? A small percentage of them break out of the mold, but most do not. They have become entrenched in an endless cycle of dependency on government. Their inherent abilities and spirit have been squashed. The same thing happens in the public school system through the teaching down to our students and the changes made to the grading system from A to F to Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. Competition is healthy and encourages children to reach higher and higher. These are all classic examples of government interference, nonsensical political correctness, and a progressive government that believes it knows best. They control the poor.
Another example of government dependency and injudicious behavior comes from the government’s inability to downsize within its own ranks or to be fiscally responsible. Short of a felony, the government rarely fires an employee. If you work for the government, unless you voluntarily quit, it’s a job for life. Government agencies are budgeted a certain amount of money annually and they will never spend less than the amount allocated even if they have to purchase items not needed or hire people for nonsensical positions. If a department is frugal, they get less the following year; consequently, they gobble up taxpayer money in an irresponsible fashion. The government cannot even govern themselves as seen with years of Medicare fraud and abuse.
When the government establishes a welfare state through the largest health care dependency program in the world; one in which gobbles up one-sixth of our economy, it will then control the middle class. The elitist, socialist progressives in government and their greedy supporters will control many new aspects of the lives of the middle class citizens. The taxes alone that will be placed on the middle class will prevent them from hiring new employees, prevent them from opening new businesses, and increase the unemployment rate as companies are forced to let workers go. The intrusion into their businesses and personal lives, and the government’s creation of “economic crisis” to move unpopular legislation into law will in time bankrupt our country, but not before the middle class suffers. The “We’ll take care of you from cradle to grave,” means “Now we own you.” They will eventually tax the middle class into submission – taxed already too high – there’s more to come. The government’s take over of the auto industry is an example along with the newest “we are better than you” take over of the student loan program. Heads up! The student loan take over will cost college students approximately $1700 more with the government take over of the student loan business. The government will now make money on student loans and the profits which were taken away from the private sector and students will now go to help pay for health care. Bite the bullet because Medicare reductions to providers and citizens will be over a trillion dollars.
Are you getting the picture now? We must protect the middle class and by doing so, we will save our great nation.
Our founding fathers never intended this republic to become a welfare state and they were mindful that men in power will abuse that power. We have witnessed unabashed behavior and taxation without representation as our elected representatives refuse to listen to the will of the people. A revolution ensued 1773-1776 over that very same issue. This writer’s opinion is that the middle class will not allow government control over their lives and they will not succumb to the will of an elitist, progressive mind-set. Take that anyway you want!
