<<Unions built this country and protect our workers.>> Riiight!!! They settled the West, built the Internet & everything. America was built despite unions. Europe has been ruined by them...

Dear Chris: Well, I am not going to support or not support Unions today. They once had their place, no doubt about that, but we live in a new age where education and training are the REAL KEY to success. However, I STRONGLY agree with you that the POLITICIANS should have the same retirement benefits and medical care as the REST OF US. That WOULD change things A LOT. They have the BEST OF THE BEST yet, if you knew the politicians PERSONALLY as I do you would find that they are AT BEST an average lot. Nothing special about the ones I know so far as intelligence, experience, gumption, or anything normally used in evaluating peoples job performance. Sadly, I have me a number I wouldnt even consider hiring and in fact one I FIRED went into politics. JDN

Unions built this country and protect our workers? This assures me that: 1. You don't know history 2. You have never been in a union Unions are good at: 1. Extorting money from employees to fund the Democratic Party, even against the wishes of its members 2. Ensuring the lazy have to do as little as possible, lowering productivity 3. Driving American manufacturing overseas 4. Ensuring an artificial shortage of labor in key industries by controlling wages and hiring and firing Derek
