Dear President Obama,
You’ve a particular fondness for unions. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this
affectionate relationship, I suppose.
After all, unions regularly fill your and other Democrat’s campaign coffers
with millions. Publicly showing them
some love would only seem natural. And since
unions are tantamount with manufacturing, one could reasonably assume that your
affection also extends to this rather small sector of the U.S. economy. But why do you have this seemingly paradoxical
love affair?
If I weren’t somewhat informed (and secretly knew that your
ballyhooed love affair with unions and manufacturing begins and ends with
campaign donations), I might get the impression, at least according to your
rhetoric, that aspiring to be an assembly line worker is synonymous with
reaching the American dream. I can only assume,
then, that you are eagerly pushing, with the same gusto as you portray publicly,
your two children to join the union some day and find their rightful place on
the assembly line, happily securing bumpers to the next generation Chevy Volt.
Do you really think Americans should go off to university, rack
up thousands in government-administered student loans, and then spend the next
25 years putting parts together? Is this
your vision of our future? Is this the
path to prosperity for America? You have
publicly stated, on many occasion, that every American should go to
college. Yet, amassing a mini-mortgage
for the right to assemble parts seems silly and completely unnecessary. The opportunity costs would be extraordinary.
So, I must ask you this simple question: is your fetish with assembling things just a
sham to illicit donations from the UAW, or do you honestly believe that every assembly
line worker in America should be college educated?
Merry Christmas.
Brad D.
