Z, > No, that unions are getting stronger. Our economy was very strong in the 50s and 60s when unions were strong. Now, it wasn't as strong for those at the top, but it was fantastic for the middle class.

So you don't believe the economy was strong and growing at a healthy pace over the past 25 years, including the eight years of Clinton?

That's why union membership declined over the past several decades. They were thought to be irrelevant. Times are changing, but I don't see how unionizing America is going to get us out of this mess. All it will accomplish is inviting the problems of socialistic Europe without any of the benefits.

What, that union membership is inversely proportional to the strength of the economy?

No, that unions are getting stronger. Our economy was very strong in the 50s and 60s when unions were strong. Now, it wasn't as strong for those at the top, but it was fantastic for the middle class.


Dang! You're on a roll......now the Rs whole month of February is ruined.
