This has to be a deliciously funny time in the White House. I can see President Obama and Rahm Emmanuel sitting around laughing themselves silly, rubbing their hands together in glee at the battle they’ve created between two of the great American juggernaut companies - United Parcel Service and FedEx.
UPS and FedEx have been competitors for decades in their battle over the overnight package market and now the ground package market as well. Competing in the Free Market building their businesses and improving their bottom lines worked well to help them get stronger in the dogfight of daily business to get ahead of each other. Business 101.
Now all that has changed.
Congress and the White House have decided – in their infinite lack of wisdom – to try to write new laws that will allow unions to have contracts in individual locals with twelve or more members and to have Card Check that will allow unions to use ‘any means necessary’ to unionize shops and grow their memberships. In the process they have taken away the fairness of the Free Market competitors and made it into a blood feud.
The growing battle between these two companies is one of MANY examples of the current Washington attitude that the Free Market Capitalist system needs to be destroyed. Congress and the White House are skewing the field of play then standing back and acting like it’s Capitalism that is the problem – not Washington. Every day we are bombarded with new propaganda examples of why Capitalism is horrible. All the while Washington is trying to create a ‘crisis mentality’ or ‘ siege mentality’ with the public they tell us it is ONLY the government that can fix our problems with more control and more regulations – the very problems that are strangling business and our way of life.
New words – that are really old words transplanted from the old Soviet society – are starting to enter our lexicons. We hear ‘central planning,’ ‘czar,’ and redistributing our wealth to make life ‘fair.’ There are propaganda attacks against the rich, businesses and the infrastructure that makes America strong. And taxes are being talked about being levied on us as if we have bottomless pockets and there is no such thing as a Recession. And who can blame them? Government is the only sector that is GROWING!!! Washington, D.C. has the lowest unemployment in the country!! Our government has no concept of how the rest of us are suffering. Or they do and they don’t care…We are living the political version of the ‘Alien’ movies. Monsters are springing to life right in Washington – Socialist seeds impregnated in our country are starting to hatch out of our communities and kill us all as they take over… and the result is every bit as ugly and terrifying as the movies were.
