Personally I wish we could afford unions, but we have allowed them to price themselves out of the market. The truth is we are desperately attempting to survive the fragile world economy and the Obama ideological onslaught. Over regulation and parasitic unions have left this country on the brink of total collapse and worldwide chaos.

Jack of All Trades, I view that when Naft and Gatt legislation was past that as Ross Perot stated, "There would be a greater sucking sound to Mexico." With pure Capitalism, maximizing the profits for stockholder, corporation will chase the locations where they can get the employees to work of the lowest wages and fringes. Consequently, we have had and will continue to have corporations going to those countries were they can maximize their profits. Yes, this is to the benefit of we stockholders, me included. My portfolio, including dividends is up approximately 16% this year while others who are less risk takers put their money in CD's and have gotten screwed, especially when you consider their erosion of principal which they had to use for living expenses. Then, you have the right to work states which have to compete with other low wage and fringe paying countries and conversion of corporation in using robots and other automation techniques. I see that this producing a spiraling down of wages and fringes as this competition continues. Companies can say, "if you do not give us what we want we will outsource, ensource, and use TIF's which other States or local communities will provide us. Who get screwed - the potential or current employees.
