When the unions are gone - and their astronomical wages and benefits that push our businesses overseas and put many out of business all together, the entire country will be better off.
Unions are a political machine that buys off people in exchange for more and more and more money and power to do what THEY want. Those who are paying into this crap get NO SAY ever about where there money is going. If they aren't rabid leftists, they wouldn't like what they're buying at all. They use intimidation, fear, threats and worse to make everyone pay up and shut up. And you are foolish enough to think that because they get you more money they have your best interests at heart...Or does it even matter as long as you get inflated wages and perks? Does it matter that they are hurting everybody else?? Nope, I doubt it. Unions and those people who foolishly and selfishly close their eyes to the disgusting things the unions support are killing this country...but they don't care as long as they get theirs... who cares about anyone else?
Time for unions to go far far far away...never to be heard from again. So we can then have a free market economy and also clear the political scene from a great deal of its graft and corruption...
