My, My, My, but did the IQ of this thread ever drop quickly.
But within the juvenile mudslinging there are a few important points being
brought out:
1.
If I decide that my best interests are served by joining a union how do I
make sure I am not joining a corrupt union that will simply steal my dues?
2.
Why are freedom loving capitalists so against unions? Couldn't have anything
to do with higher wages and improved benifits eating into profits?
3.
Why do freedom loving capitalists NOT rise up against cartels and monoplies
that distort the "natural" operation of the free market? Couldn't have
anything to do with artifically driving prices and profits up?
I would answer that plain old greed is the answer to 2 and 3. And the
answer to 1 is a bit of due diligence.
A new question: are there situations where a monoply makes sense for the
average citizen (I'll puke the next time someone refers to me as a
"consumer")?
