Collins Report

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Besides the Democrats, the most identifiable socialists in America are the United Auto Workers (UAW). Their fifty year leftward slide has now reached critical mass. With help from their friend government/Democrat, the UAW might soon copy George Orwell’s Animal Farm and rename Detroit: “Auto Farm.”
Here’s how it could happen and how it is likely to end: Old Major, the prize boar, played by UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, stirs his members to develop the philosophy of “Autoism” as their guiding principle. This leads Old Major’s worker/animals to pressure their best friend government/Democrat to run off the auto makers, then takeover Detroit, rename it Auto Farm and declare it the property of its worker/animals.
At first Auto Farm appears to prosper. With government/Democrat subsidies the cars built in Auto Farm “sell” better than those built in the nearby free market “farms” not controlled by the UAW. To maintain the appearance of viability, Napoleon, Old Major’s successor, secretly sells off some of the manufacturing plants on Auto Farm and continues to pay the worker/animals on the production line. None of the them realize their cars cost nearly twice what they can be sold for in the free market outside of Auto Farm. They are being sold to government/Democrat, but no one else.
Soon Auto Farm is covered with unsold low quality cars, there’s nowhere to walk, let alone work and produce more cars no one but government/Democrat will buy.
The worker/animals discover their salaries were paid with their own pension funds and they overthrow Napoleon. Auto Farm closes and its assets are sold to pay the EPA to clean up the sites of the old factories.
The worker/animals come to understand what the UAW leader/animals meant when they said, “All worker/animals are equal, but the UAW leader/animals are more equal than others.”
As the last animal/worker walks away from the last crumbling factory he trips on a Ford Motor Company sign half covered with mud. He scrapes his knee, but gets right up. Immediately a UAW leader/animal tells him to lie down and moan about pain in his back. The leader/animal calls a UAW lawyer and the animal/worker lodges a claim in the bankruptcy filings of the once great auto producing giant.
The lawyer, a weasel, addresses the crowd of worker/animals that have stopped to watch the scene. He says, “They have no money left in their bailout fund, but let’s sue the bastards anyway, they deserve it.” The crowd cheers. As the animals walk away they start singing a union organizing song about evil factory owners and saintly workers.

While state after state moves toward bankruptcy and plans to beg Washington for bailout money, at least three states are showing America the way back to prosperity. None knuckle under to unions, enviro-nazis or illegals.

Wyoming expects a 100 million surplus in her next budget. North Dakota’s unemployment rate is half our national average and West Virginia is in historically good financial shape.

West Virginia is 15.1% unionized, but most of those workers are in the United Mine Workers Union (UMWU). North Dakota and Wyoming are right to work states.

All three get their wealth from effective use of natural stores of energy producing minerals. Wyoming and North Dakota have no union interference and few enviro-nazis to fight. West Virginia joins them in the latter.

North Dakota will have an 800 million dollar budget surplus for the next two years even after cutting property taxes and will still enjoy this prosperity even at $40.00 a barrel price of crude oil.

None of these states has more than 2,500 illegal aliens. Not one of these states where free enterprise and a fair labor market flourishes, has a sanctuary city to act as a magnet for alien burglars willing to help spend the state’s wealth. In all three states the money collected in taxes and fees is used to make life better for the hard working American citizens who pay taxes and keep down their demands for service.

In West Virginia, North Dakota and Wyoming people don’t have to watch their schools being forced to teach in foreign languages or their hospitals deal with diseases found in the slums of third world countries.

The road to national prosperity is clear: low union thug interference in commerce, control enviro-nazis to get the most from natural resources and slam the door on illegal burglars.

There are really no surprises in this data. We know what works, but our political class doesn’t want to do what needs to be done. Instead of trying to spread North Dakota to California, they are trying to Los Angles to Fargo. This fight is being pushed to the back burner, but we can’t let it stay there. We can’t sit by and watch as the Democrats flush America down the toilet to sign up illegals as new voters. We have to tell the enviro-nazis to go pound sand and we have to fight the “card check” scheme.
