But I think they've had a net positive effect on America, the economy, and the markets. It's a shame so many people have fallen for the demonization they've suffered at the hands of big business lobbyists. |

What I was trying to get across is that the guys at the top of the hierarchy care about their bottom line and their Boards, not the people that work for them. That's not true of every large business, but it's true of more than a few. |

Child Labor Laws - Overtime - Minimum Wage - Injury Protection - Workmen's Compensation Insurance - Pension Security - Right to Organize - and MORE! Unions started off as a rebellion against oppressive working conditions, and as such was a good thing. Over time, they evolved into horrendously evil extortion rackets paralyzing the public, such as when nurses or police or firemen go on strike, a horrendously EVIL act. Today's unions are just a collection of greedy, evil bastards who want to destroy the economy for their own PERSONAL gain, and I say God can damn those perverts. |

The Republican(this year was Mittens) who was to be their puppet, unfortunetly for them they paid $400 + Million to get Mitt to do their bidding and still lost. All they focus is $$$ and nothing else matters. The polute our earth and they don't give a shit as long as they make more money. These people have NO scruples, to say the least! These are the ones people should fear, but they (Koch Brothers and the like) fill their heads with conspiracy theories so they do not know what is what anymore and in turn believe everything that is being sold (here and else where). |
