Opportunity for jobs must not slip away; Dan Bosh; Beaver County Times; February 27, 2011.

I’m working on the assumption “Dan Bosh” of Baden is “Daniel A. Bosh” of Baden.

If you’ve read Mr. Bosh’s letters over the years, you recognize him as a died-in-the-wool leftist. In the 2004 presidential campaign, Mr. Bosh was a Democrat national delegate committed to Dennis Kucinich. Mr. Bosh is a representative of the Steelworkers Pension Trust. There’s nothing wrong with Mr. Bosh representing the USW but it means Mr. Bosh isn’t an impartial observer when it comes to labor union issues.

Below is a detailed critique of the subject letter.

“The announcement by Horsehead Corp. that it intends to build a new state-of-the-art zinc plant and that it could be at the company’s Potter Township facility is great news.

“This is the kind of employer our region needs, and our elected county and state officials should do everything they can to keep it here and attract more of the same kind of business.”

[RWC] Lefty “elected county and state officials” Mr. Bosh supports are greatly responsible for making regions unattractive for business.

“A manufacturing facility like this that brings money into the region is worth more than a hundred big-box retailers that take wealth out of the region.”

[RWC] Mr. Bosh failed to note labor union management “take[s] wealth out of the region” via dues and contracts that make operating businesses here more expensive than elsewhere. Let’s also not forget labor union management supports leftists (primarily Democrats) who believe in big taxes on businesses as well as an ever-growing list of regulations. These things also “wealth out of the region.”

“Shame on our elected officials if they allow this opportunity to get away.”

[RWC] If government were operating as it should, it shouldn’t have to do anything. That’s because with limited government we get an environment compatible with individual liberty, including business.
