Happy Labor Day

Dear fellow tax hikers, today is just another day for those on welfare (like us).  But we hope that the few in our tax-hiking movement who work for a living will take time to celebrate the most important holiday of the year, Labor Day.  Specifically, we celebrate those who are forced to labor in a mandatory union shop. 

Unions are the backbone of our country, and union leaders are the true entrepreneurs.  This is the day we celebrate them.  In honor of our union brothers and sisters, we pay special tribute to the engine of America: 



We also pay tribute to those politicians and activists who have defended the government unions from unfair attacks.  Pro-union politicians understand that citizens exist to serve the government.  The government does not exist to serve its citizens.

Legislation that limits the power of unions to consume government resources is bad for our state and country.  Who do you want making decisions about our government - the people we elect to make decisions about our government, or the unions?  We want the unions to decide.  Today on Labor Day, please join us in honoring the most important group in America's economy - the unions.

Just got back home from my gub'ment union's labor day picnic. Had to check on how my subordinate was doing pinch-hitting for me on this holiday. Spoke to him for a few minutes an posted 4 hour minimum at double time per our contract on my timesheet. Thanx taxpaying suckers!

One of the many reasons I have supported so many tax hikes is because it puts more money into the pockets of members of labor unions. When we raise taxes in Springdale, the city employees get more money and most of them are in unions. When we support higher taxes for Princeton schools, it takes dollars from people who work in the private sector and puts more dollars in the pockets of teachers and bus drivers who are in unions.

Awesome!

Then they pay more to their unions, who spend money electing people who want to raise taxes a d government spending even more.

See, I've got this figured out. No wonder they call me the campaign expert.

Anyone who opposes unions is an evil, greedy jerk who hates the little man. That's what I say when I'm running around to County Democratic Party picnics in all of these god-forsaken podunk towns all over Ohio.

I'm all for unions, except for in all of those companies that my Daddy ran. He needed to turn a profit so he could build up my trust fund, and union employees would have made that an impossibility. I'm pretty sure the nanny, butler, cleaning ladies, landscapers, pool boys, laundresses, cooks, and chauffeurs weren't union either. But hey, they don't really count as long as I talk a good game to my union crony pals.

Anyways, vote for me! Please! For something! Sometime! Somewhere! Please!

THE FINE HARD-WORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF ORGANIZED LABOR KNOW THAT THEY HAVE NO GREATER FRIEND IN THE OIHO SENATE THAN YOURS TRULY. IT WAS I WHO STOOD UP FOR THEM AND STOOD UP AGAINST THE HIDEOUS JOHN KASICH'S PLAN TO DESTROY PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS IN THIS GREAT STATE.

IT WAS I WHO STOOD WITH BOB TAFT AND STOOD UP FOR HIGHER TAXES SO THAT WE COULD HIRE MORE GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND PAY THEM MORE MONEY.

IT IS I WHO CONTINUES TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT FOR ORGANIZED LABOR IN COLUMBUS. IT IS I WHO STANDS UP TO OUR GOVERNOR WHO HAS THE AUDACITY TO WANT TO HAVE FEWER GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES.

IT IS I WHO GAVE CLINT EASTWOOD THE IDEA FOR HIS CONVENTION SPEECH, THOUGH I WISH NOW THAT I HADN'T. CLINT SPOKE TO AN EMPTY CHAIR AFTER I'VE BEEN CALLING JOHN KASICH AN EMPTY SUIT FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.

Here I am slaving away long hours for very little pay. Up early to go to a campaign rally. My dry-clearning bills are through the roof. Man, we need a union for campaign managers.

Ugh! As if! As much as I love high taxes and seeing people get paid for not doing much work (that's how we roll at Club 700... I mean, we work really really hard here. Really! We do!) I just can't get excited about going to Labor Day rallies and events. Those labor unions are heavily populated with smelly, sweaty, disgusting, inbred west siders.

"I really like how the union discriminates against minorities."

YES!!! And that is why me and my morbidly obese wife Tabitha Hochscheid support the unions too.

I love Labor Day!mits one of my favorite days of the year, along with April 15th. I mean, it was until the Republicans hired me. USA! USA!

Being a City Councilmember, I like it when we have public holidays in Cincinnati, the city I represent as a city Councilmember.

Labor Day is when we get to celebrate the working man. Not that I know what a day of hard work is like. But as a City Councilmember, I support the people who labor for our city, the city I represent as a City Councilmember.

Just don't ask if my family's hotel is union.

I've been feeling kind of blue about organized labor ever since they failed to deliver me to public office for the 4th straight time I've tried. I'm the most capable, qualified, competent, educated, professional expert on money matters in all of Colerain Township. I am the person who established the Taste of Colerain AND who designed the Colerain Avenue interchange in front of Lowe's. I am the person who started raising money for scholarships for Northwest and Colerain students. I am the one who got everything done on the Colerain Corridor Task Force. When you think of Colerain Township, you think of excellent schools, great food, and well-managed traffic, right??? Well, I wish people would start thanking me by voting me into some office. Anywhere.

Bill Clinton outdraws an NFL game last night.

Mitt Romney couldn't even beat out Honey, Boo Boo.

The next 59 days are going to be a challenge, all right. It's going to be a challenge to listen to all the right-wing hate speech, racial hatred, and pure ignorance spewing from Republicans desparately clinging to corporate-media fueled delusions that they actually have a chance of winning anything in this election.

The Republican Party's time is up and the voters are going to send you back to the Stone Age, where your views on women, minorities, gay people, and the average working stiff will better align.

Enjoy your irrelevancy after November 6. Too bad the rest of us have to endure this hate-filled claptrap you're polluting the public airwaves with in the mean time.

It was a total drag to have to work on a Sunday, but it was sooooooo kewl to see all my besties at the TCV event today! My Sycamore Township frenlies are great! You guys rock! And I can't forget my buds in Green Township! I met a ton of west siders who don't smell and aren't inbred! Maybe there's hope for our party after all.

President Obama is 6 ahead of Mittens in a CNN poll, and is well over the 50% threshhold needed for re-election. He is also +4 in Gallup. It's only September. The more voters learn about Romney, the less they like him. Enjoy your irrelevancy.
