How can he lose it? He never had it. It may, however, encourage support from the jobless poor who are shut out of the unions. Unfortunately I don't think that many of them are sophisticated enough to understand how they are getting screwed.
And what votes did he have? When I say he will lose the Union vote, I mean it is pretty clear in the budget plan that he is attacking Unions. I just do not understand this. This is like saying to a union worker, you are just like the redundant empty suits in government. I mean really, please explain to me why Ron Paul's budget attacks union workers?
No one is shut out of the Unions. I am not sure why you'd say that. From my experience, unions are struggling to fill apprenticeship roles and will take just about any American Citizen who shows any competence at all, train them, and find work for them.
Please explain how Unions are screwing working class people, besides maybe a few bad apples scamming their locals. I'd like to hear this.
Ron Paul could have the Unions vote for him this cycle. That is a huge grass roots voting block who don't just blindly pool their money and power together because of some federal promise of a job. Ending Union projects and repealing Davis-Bacon only hurts Union wages and union competitiveness. This action would definitely invite more unorganized labor to come in and take jobs for lower wages. That is not what is needed at the local levels. At all. Their ought to be a wage standard as long as the markets are manipulated and pulling the plug on the wage standard before taking care of the rest of the manipulation in the market is just the easiest cut to make.
To me, this is no different than what companies do to employees all the time in so far as suppressing wages at every opportunity. If you don't pay your workers, you can expect a shitty job, because skilled people don't work for unskilled rates, unless they are forced to.
