Working Wage

There's more to a working wage than simply gross pay. If you are a union worker you are forced to pay money to the union machine. If you live in a Liberal state most likely you're paying higher taxes - including taxes on the necessities your family needs.

I keep getting emails from unions about how their interest is for the American worker, the American family - so I decided to do a little experiment.

Food is an obvious necessity and represents a significant expenditure for the American worker. So what if I compared a random sample of grocery items of a union store with a non-union store - which store would be more family-friendly? Which store would help the American worker's wage go farther? Union, or non-union?

Basic rules:

• Items had to be national brands
• Items had to be regular priced, not on special and not lower if the purchaser belonged to any store club
• Items had to be exactly the same - manufacturer, title, size, weight, etc.
• Both stores were compared within 4 hours of this post
  

The Stores:

• Union: Albertsons
• Non-Union: Wal-Mart Super Store
  

The Items:

1. Tostitos (cheese dip) Salsa Con Queso, Med, 23 oz
   Union: $4.99
   Non-Union: $3.18
   
2. Coka Cola, 2 Liter, Classic
   Union: $2.39
   Non-Union: $1.25
   
3. Progresso Soup, Lt, Home Style Veg. & Rice, 18.5 oz
   Union: $3.49
   Non-Union: $1.50
   
4. Best Foods Real Mayo, 64 oz
   Union: $7.99
   Non-Union: $6.19
   
5. Hidden Valley Original Ranch, 24 oz
   Union: $3.28
   Non-Union: $2.98
   
6. Pace Chunky Salsa, 16 oz
   Union: $3.29
   Non-Union: $1.66
   
7. Minute Rice, White, 42 oz
   Union: $6.89
   Non-Union: $4.18
   
8. Betty Croker Potato Buds, 28 oz
   Union: $4.99
   Non-Union: $3.28
   
9. Jimmy Dean Cooked Sausage, 9.6 oz
   Union: $4.99
   Non-Union: $2.23
   
10. Oscar Meyer Premium Beef Franks, 16 oz
    Union: $5.49
    Non-Union: $2.76
    

If you put 2 of each item into your cart, you would have to pay $37.16 more for shopping at a union store:

Union total: $95.58
Non-union total: $58.42

So who do you think helps the American family more - unions or non-unions? Just wait until Barack Obama and his Liberal Congress pass forced unionization!

Meanwhile, the Liberal controlled union puppets in Congress are trying very hard, along with dooms-day threats from union bosses, to dump billions of hard working American taxpayer dollars into the hands of the UAW union.

If you think you have some duty to shop union - then by all means - waste your family's money. The smart shoppers know better!

NOTE: We don't buy any of the items in this survey, so there was no prejudice in what was selected.

Anna Nicole's Body - Like, Who Cares!

Tired of the major news media spewing out non-stop worthless coverage of who gets this body? Do you really care? Will her the final destination of her carcass change our country or your life? What a total waste of valuable air time.

Thank God for bloggers, for some of us carry on and bring real news to the world. Not all bloggers are able to speak freely. Take 22 year old Abdel Kareem Nabil. He got a 4 year jail sentence for posting negative (as Muslims see it) stuff against Islam - the religion of peace (more like pieces - body pieces). After your prison sentence some to the USA Abdel - we need people like you and would trade 10,000 liberals for 1 like you (liberals are cheap).

Then there's the Democrats delivering payback to the unions. Take Oregon for example. Governor Ted Kulongoski and his Democrat thugs - all under union control. Unions are big in Oregon, with receipts of over $118 million dollars from 308,965 members (you do the math). A huge majority of that money that controls each Democrat has come from various school unions. No surprise Democrats choose union objectives over education choices for children and parents:

A bill was introduced in Salem, OR Tuesday to significantly hinder charter school growth in our state. Special interest groups like the teachers union are pushing Senate Bill 621 in order to ensure any teachers in newly created charters are FORCED to join unions, to FORCE LIMITS on the number of students that can enroll in charters, and to seek to FORCE LIMITS on enrollment eligibility based on where parents live.

Charter schools were created to give parents and students a choice in their education, to give teachers and administrators the freedom from bureaucracy that helps create innovation, and to create competition in the public school system that would force all schools to improve. The proposed UNION legislation undercuts all of these goals.

Then we have Natzi Pelosi, super union bitch, placing "Employee Free Choice Act" as a top priority for the country. Currently if workers vote to unionize their vote is secret. This act would remove that secrecy and put dissenters at risk of union pressure and attacks. But this is how the unions do their thing - intimidation, extortion, and buying people's vote - then they own you - like any Democrat knows.

And of course Baracko Obama, another mafia union puppet, told the world as president he would bring unions back to power. This was stated in his announcement to become a candidate for the presidency.

Union bosses in control of the White House? It's their dream coming true.
