I've complained, just not here. It's not the current problem causing degradation of the political landscape. Maybe later, but not now. The Thugs running the Unions rip off their members and spend their dues to elect Politicians who make sure the laws are written their way. But I never hear a word about that from you. At least the Corporate boys are spending money they earned. LOL! Do you really think unions contribute more hard & soft money than corporate lobbies? Get ready for the first billion-dollar pres cycle. From a purely economic perspective, wealthy corp execs spend a lower percentage of income than lower-paid workers who have to spend it all. That's the definition of being wealthy, having more coming in than you have to spend. Never mind the Ken Lay's who corrupt the political system from the other direction. Re: thugs, anecdotally, I've known a number of union thugs as well as corporate ones. No difference, except in scale.
