The Day Oswego County Died

I have been away for a while, some commenters led me to beleive that maybe I was holding our newly elected Senator to an unreachable standard, that my writing abilities showed how stupid common sense conservatives like myself really are (I was an honor role student in high school, I didn't go to college because my family couldn't afford it, thank you), and that my ideals are not something that any government wants to acknowledge.

Well, Patty and readers I am back and critics be damned, my voice will not be silenced! Our County was dealt the worst blos its seen in a very, very long time today. The Birdseye Plant in Fulton is closing, some of the last people in the County (besides Novelis) that mass produce a real thing you can hold in your hands for our Nation to buy will be moving to Wisconsin. Patty Ritchie we are dying here and its time the State finally did something good for the working men and women.

Its no coincidence that Wisconsin was chosen by Pinnacle Foods as the home of their new plant because as every non-union working man in the Republic is well aware, taxpayer funded unions were just outlawed there and for good reason. After the government, unions are the main barrier between the common man and liberty, they keep the longest serving, highest paying members employed and reward them first for their work, regardless of their contribution becasue they are the ones who repeatedly vote for corrupt union bosses. We witness everyday the disgustingly high standards that union employees set for themselves, the real reason health care costs in our (once)great nation is because all union employees demand that their bosses pay for their insurance, it doesn't matter how much it costs because they aren't the ones paying it, the taxpayers and consumers are.

Senator Patty Ritchie I am pleading with you and all of the other Senators, do what you can to prove that Upstate will no longer be safe for unions, give Pinnacle a reason to stay. While Wisonsin may still have private unions, Pinnacle knows that they are next to be outlawed and that's why they are moving there. No company can make a profit when all 250 of their employees demand that their asses be wiped daily by the boss, that's not how business works and that cannot be how America works. Until we do something in New York, employers will flee to places like Wisocnsin where they know that workers will appreciate the opportunities that are given to them and will work to earn themselves a better life.

Patty, do what you can to make this company stay here for another year, pay them off if you must with tax breaks and "grants" and spend the next year fighting to show these people that Upstate can make things again!
