IGNORANCE ON PARADE DEUX: Nikki Haley's hatred of unions brings South Carolina only more poverty

A governor who doesn’t want jobs in her state.

Not if they’re union jobs, at least.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley says she’ll pass on automakers like the Detroit Three because “we discourage any companies that have unions from wanting to come to South Carolina because we don’t want to taint the water.”

Haley’s rant against the unions is seriously a new one on me — the idea that any state, but especially an impoverished one like South Carolina, would turn up its nose at high-paying jobs while bending over backward to offer incentives and other giveaways to attract lower-wage, nonunion work.

(Damn all these misleading labels and euphemisms!)

Not that any here need to have it made more clear.

The Party that applauds when Ron Paul refers to uninsured people dying outside the Emergency Room door.

Why does a Party that hates poor people so much work so hard at policies that impoverish hard-working people?

War on the working man is what it is. Pukes hate the workers but love the CEO.

She is a vile and corrupt waste of flesh. The sad thing is that the idiots who elected her think the same way she does. The vast majority of them don't even know what the hell a union is. They just know they're "bad," because they've been told they're bad. They have no fucking idea why, though. Even worse is that they'll give this brain-dead jackass another term come November.

and would benefit from them directly, are anti-union.

They are just ignorant and brainwashed, as you said, but not in the same words.
