Half a loaf is better than none

Sadly I have found that there are those in our society hidden in plain sight who seek to ruin us and make us destitute by out rightly proposing that we dismiss these words...who are they? The TRADE UNION! Yes TT , we have been led to believe that these men of so-called heart for the masses and concern for the poor man actually are men of substance...

but let me ask, when the dust has settled and the percents weighed and the oil platforms pack up and go, can these men provide jobs? Can these men give you letters to take to the bank? Can these men help you pay your mortgage or feed your families? Are they serving you without profit? Are these kind men giving you all of their courage and sense of fairness for free? Let’s face it- we have been bamboozled into thinking that the men who operate the movement house the same valour and honour as the men who started it! The unions have lost their purpose and have become like the “ Jimmy Swaggart” of our time.

They have led us down a path of economic suicide and have stunted the growth of our society because as we squabble for more the cost of living rises, the level of productivity decreases and our national debt ascends! The cult of the Trade Union Movement has tricked us into thinking that the fight is for us! I know perhaps some are thinking yes they dothey keep employers in check, they get us our benefits, they march and march to make sure we are treated fairly afterall “massa day done” but of course we must give offering, pay your dues-blindly; remember it’s for our own good.

Turbal “Buzz” Butler perhaps has rolled over countless times in after life grief appalled by what the union has become-independent politicians, no that’s too good-scavengers- who rampage about, like empty vessels with no ethics or reasoning, ravenously digging into of our crippled economy.

I wonder, where has all this new energy come from? I mean for the past five years we hardly heard a peep, and yet here they are now with new fervor attempting to squeeze blood from stone! Wake up my people, after all the back pay money has been drained where would the government get money to keep everyone gainfully employed? The hard truth is someone would have to go home! The back pay money would eventually finish and what you be left with? Nothing! Half a loaf is better than none.

We were informed on countless occasions that our economy is not as lucrative as in recent times thus we must forego some privileges in order to survive. We must look past our need to be immediately gratified and our attitude of entitlement until better can be done. I am forced to ask again-can the union provide jobs? The bottom line is that they cannot!
