I apologize if I put words in your mouth. I try to never do that. But with unions down from 35% to 6% it is hard to understand where you see the excesses? We all know they are not perfect and many are even run by organized cirme. Just like corporations e.g. Exxon and Enron. But Chinu that is the human condition. Like democracy which is also a mess. The human species is a mess. Only so much anyone can expect and no one has any perfect ideas or solutions. So if everything is going to be messy, lets at least be civilized and educated. That will give us the least amount of mess. < <You are putting words in my mouth. I have stated over and over again that I am against the excesses of unions. And I am also against the excesses of capitalists where they take jobs overseas but expect to derive the tax benefits of a stable political system as we see in the US.
