so what you are saying is that you DON'T believe a person has the right to not join a union. This is the United States, the idea that there are laws on the books that say I cannot strike my own bargain with an employer is absurd to me. You think it is hunky dory. I don't want one dime that I earn to go to unions. Everything that I have seen indicates that they are criminal enterprises on the order of Bernie Madoff. And look at the abuse of the system that are instigated by unions. We just saw it in Wisconsin. It is immoral to take my money and spend it on something that I consider to be fundamentally wrong. Unions are corrupt. They were corrupt back in the 50s when my Dad testified against Jimmy Hoffa and they were corrupt when they encouraged strikers to physically attacked me. Unions are the free loaders. The fact that you can't see that shows just how corrupted you have become by the progressive religion. I guess I should feel pity for you for being duped. But it seems more likely that you are one of the people who is perpetuating the duping of other people. And by "tow", do you mean "toll"? I have never heard of a "tow road". Toll roads are fairly common though. If I was paying the owner of the "tow road", then perhaps your analogy would have some merit. A more accurate analogy would be that a toll road owner builds a road and then some thugs force the toll road owner to allow them to work the toll booths. And then as I enter the toll road, the thugs collect my money and skim the bulk of it for themselves and then give a small amount to the toll road owner so that they can say that they are providing a service rather than being outright thiefs. The toll road owner took all the risk by building the road and now he has to let thugs dictate how his business is run. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America. Unions are truly the poison that has killed American Industry. Just take a trip to Detroit and you can see what the unions did to the auto industry. Then to Pennsylvania to see what they did to the steel industry. And to California where the union state employees and teachers unions have bankrupted the state. Wherever unions have power, you will see an economic wasteland. Thank god Wisconsin is saying to the unions "Get the hell out!"
