\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s Eric in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Great to have you on the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi. Dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. Great to have you here.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you for having me on. I just wanted to let you know, I find it a little ironic with right-to-work legislation passing most likely tomorrow in Michigan, a lot of local media is interviewing union bosses. They\u2019re just a little upset that people that are not paying in, not paying in union dues are gonna maybe have to get represented. Don\u2019t you find that a little ironic?<\/p>\n

RUSH: The union workers are upset because people are gonna be able to join a union or get a job without paying union dues?<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: And the union representatives are upset?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re upset because —<\/p>\n

RUSH: So what is your question to me?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, it\u2019s no question. It\u2019s just more or less a comment that I find it ironic that they\u2019re now joining our method of thinking here.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, this is fascinating. Try this: “Sixty-four percent of Americans are against the [federal] government\u2019s taking steps to enforce federal anti-marijuana laws…” In Michigan, right-to-work is becoming de rigeur, the norm. It\u2019s fascinating to me. It\u2019s too bad people are not motivated to support states\u2019 rights in other areas. I mean, the federal government has anti-marijuana laws. States are legalizing it.<\/p>\n

The federal government is moving in to stop them, and 64% of Americans are against the federal government doing this. One thing that could be said is the states do provide an opportunity to stop some of this stuff that\u2019s happening. The states do, and the right-to-work in Michigan is a classic illustration. You know, the closer you get to home, the more you find out how people really live and want to live.<\/p>\n

The farther you get from federal government policy, the farther you get from Obama, you find out how people really want to live. This right-to-work in Michigan is a big deal. Michigan is Ground Zero for union activity, and Michigan is about to become a right-to-work state, where you can get a job without having to join a union. So the unions are gonna lay siege in Lansing like they laid siege to Madison.<\/p>\n

If you saw what the unions did in Wisconsin, Eric, stand by and be patient, because they\u2019re gonna repeat this in Michigan, and they\u2019re gonna try to intimidate the governor and everybody involved here. They\u2019re not gonna take this lying down. To me, it\u2019s an interesting contrast. Because if you just look at federal policy and what\u2019s happening, you would automatically conclude that we have lost the country; that we\u2019re outnumbered. But then you go to a state here or a state there, and you find people behaving in totally opposite or different ways than what you would think they want just observing national policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
