Popular Post David Posted September 20, 2012 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2012 100 Percent FED Up"IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO BUILD A COAL PLANT, IT'LL BANKRUPT THEM!" -Presidential candidate Barack ObamaWAKE UP OHIO!!!! WAKE UP VIRGINIA!!!WAKE UP PENNSYLVANIA!!!WAKE UP WEST VIRGINIA!!!!WAKE UP AMERICA.....Under Obamas Watch, Closures And Layoffs Continue To Haunt Americas Coal CompaniesTHE COAL MINERS KNOW THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE COAL MINES...HE HAS SAID SO!SO THE UMWA OFFICIAL COMES OUT TO SAY THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT OBAMA BUT WILL NOT ENDORSE ROMNEY EITHER????Just look at these SHAMEFUL comments by Mike Caputo:...“As of right now, we’ve elected to stay out of this election,” said Mike Caputo, a UMWA official and a Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates. “Our members right now have indicated to stay out of this race, and that’s why we’ve done that.... I don’t think quite frankly that coalfield folks are crazy about either candidate.”The 54-year-old Caputo, who grew up across the street from a coal plant near Fairmont in central West Virginia and has been in the coal industry virtually his whole life, said he couldn’t remember a time UMWA did not endorse a presidential candidate. Caputo is a vice president on the UMWA’s International Executive Board.“It’s unusual,” he said during an interview at UMWA’s Fairmont office. Caputo, who describes himself as a “hard-core Democrat,” intends to vote for Obama. “I’m loyal to my party,” he said.THE STUPIDITY OF THE UNIONS IS UNMATCHED! These union leaders DO NOT work for their members! They work for their OWN benefit! They are willing to let the entire coal industry be shuttered by this man who would seek to punish America for it's ability to produce it's own energy. Obama has no interest in making America energy independent. He has an interest however, in assuring that we loan billions to other nations to help them develop energy independence! Is ANYONE AWAKE IN THESE STATES? What are you doing to get the message out to your neighbors, friends, co-workers? Obama is KILLING the coal industry and American's are tuning in to catch his funny little interview with another media clown, David Letterman!http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/coal-miners-union-sits-out-presidential-race-20120809 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27396-know-anyone-that-runs-a-coal-bucket-and-loosing-their-job/#findComment-138450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's easy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 8% of American workers work for the government.. Add to that the 47% that don't pay any Federal income tax and union members that vote for whom they are told, you get four more years of PBO. We have passed the point where we now have more riding in the wagon then are pulling it.And Romney-the elitest, really has the majority of the country in his best interest??? He has his rich friends at Koch Brothers, friends at Sun Capital, and friends at Bain Capitalin in mind...He doesn't care about the working man or the middle class. 47% Income tax is correct but "47% believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name it and that's my job is not to worry about” people who won't “take personal responsibility and care for their lives" REALLLY??. How about my mom and dad who are retired and haven't paid it because they are on a fixed income. Or the other 22% of that 47% that are retired US citizens, that equals to millions of once hard working tax paying now retired folk. Or how about a kid who graduated with me from high school??? http://pittsburgh.cb...n-into-reality/. How about Ron and other wounded warriors that do not pay income tax during deployement!!!! So I guess Ron, or my good buddy who was a marine in Fullajah in 2004 who is still messed up, or my fiance's cousin who is was in an EOD unit where over half his unit were killed by an IED in Iraq, or my buddies in the Air Force Security force and his brother in Army Reserves who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, are they the ones who are bottom feeders and "take personal responsibility and care for their lives" This guy and other neoconservatives are so out of touch with reality. How about talking about getting manufacturing back in the USA. We can't be a nation of service. We need to make something. The EPA might be putting this regulations in place but its really because of the DEREGULATION of the energy producing industry. When the industry was regulated it was required by the regulaory commission for the companies to invest pollution control and maintenance for its plants. Since deregulation plants have not be upkept and upgraded as in the past. This means HIGHER INVESTMENT COSTs for these plants to comply to air quality standards. Let the market self regulate. Get real. That's the real problem. Couple that with the fact that natural gas is a lot lower in price. Natural gas production is booming. This is called "'creative destruction". Its like the 8-track being replaced by the cassette, the cassette replaced by the cd,cd replaced by the Ipod. It changing of times. You don't think the coal producers know this??? Consol Energy-has natural gas and coal divisons including the use of coal bed methane recovery.

Mack458 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 220cummings I agree with you. Robme will not be good for the USA if elected but the ones who are buying the election will get what they want. We will all be working for minimum wage and there will be no middle class. The Republicans are great for telling scary stories such as Dick Cheyney,s quote that if Obama was elected the US would be attacked on our soil again. Funny coming from a guy who was basically in charge on September 11th.I have a great deal of respect for the knowledge of the folks on these forums and hope that they would investigate everything they read and hear before condeming the Democrats. I don't think the Republicans have the middle and low class of the country in sight. The lies that Robmey and FOX news spread around are hurting the american people - just my opinion.

HeavyGunner Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yeah PBO has the lower class in mind alright. Just the welfare rats that are leaching off if us ( people who work). Gotta hand it to him he found a huge untapped constituency. Promise them free shit and they vote for you. Next term blame previous administration and promise more free shit while condemning ambitious Americans who worked and made something of themselves. Pretty soon there will be too many on the free rise wagon and we will collapse and they will starve. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

oilburner Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Shuting down the coal bussiness is very bad for our country, and trying to replace it with natural gas is not the answer. You may say it is cheap and we have alot of it but i have worked in the oil and natural gas my whole life. If we take out the coal plants and start gas powerd plants the price of gas will sky rocket, the same way gas has at the pumps, and this is what the big gas companys want, They have flooded the market with gas just for this reason, to make it cheap and show we have plenty hopeing that this will help the transission from coal, but i am telling you people if coal is replaced with gas it will be way more expensive than coal and small compainies will be booming as well as the big, it will be good for me and people that work in oil and gas, but what about the electric bills, i am telling you guys we need coal. Right now gas is about 3 bucks a cfm 6 years ago when the demand was up it was 12 and 13 bucks for the same amount we were coverd up with work and my heating bill at home was unreal!! Just my two cents, i know it ain't worth a dime, it's just two pennys right!! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27396-know-anyone-that-runs-a-coal-bucket-and-loosing-their-job/#findComment-138783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
