A Right To Work, Not Here.

Once again I return to in my opinion and by experience tales of sin in this darkness state they call the Sunshine State. Two true examples of why this is fact -

1- A young man who has been working for a company a number of years and has a clean record stopped to help an elderly woman who had an accident. He was one minute late getting to work. He was called into the office and made to sign [ need help why - unemployment] a paper stating why he was late and told if it happens again he will be fired. Now they could have just fired him for no excuse but he would have collected. This employer brags about no one collects on them. Yes and this same employer demands his workers be in prior to their start time, in their seat ready to go or they are written up. Does he pay them for that early time, no. He only pays from 8 AM on.

2- Example two- a woman with breast cancer and who has never been out, a star employee, who has been battling surgery and illness for a month and a half received a letter if she is out more then 12 weeks good bye, period, no if and buts. Yes from another Sun named organization. Of course she goes to work sick because she is the major source of income and they send her home. How compassionate and then comes the letter. Her husband being disabled is getting sick with worry for her and their financial worries. If she dies on the job, hey role her aside until they come to get her and get another.

Hey I could go on but I already have. Now the reasons for this. Well it always has been about cheaper labor especially here in this sunshine paradise for the have, but now they have an abundance of cheap labor begging for a chance and they tell you so. Do this or else. Not only are people stressed out over the economy they now need to deal with these, pardon my opinion, the Jack Ass. Yes, perhaps even your and my neighbors? Yes perhaps even the ones you know from church, the club, your gated community?.

You shall know them by their works. I just thought my God, how do they live with themselves? Yet the answer clear as day. They have no problem, mirror, mirror on the wall, Now these are ordinary, family, never been in trouble types. They go to church, are active, and well known by many in the community. Does that matter? No, this is exactly who and what we have as leaders and for anyone, yes anyone to think the little guy will get help is in my opinion a fool or no more then them. Sorry, it is what it is.

You just better help it isn't yours next because many of you created it and allow it.

Yes and you want a tool to judge those works well here they are, that is for believer not mere professors, for those who hold to morality and not relativity:

Abortion - can we say anything else.

Stem Cell research - Go and check.

Illegal Immigration, the name says it all.

Usury, oh is that what it is?

Exploitation - if above isn't enough what can be?

Greed - one word - bailouts.

Need more, never mind, it doesn't matter to the majority. The 82% who profess. Yes we shall know them by their works and they are those believers know and recognize. Yes that old time song, "get ready for the Judgment Day". Profess, a mere word.

PS: you in Michigan, Ohio and those cold states who are baby boomer's and have, they are hoping you come and revitalize this state. You who have. Yet realize this, someone must pay and you are it. And if your thinking of working, you know to kill time or make "a few extra bucks', get used to this world.
