Even private sector uions do a lot of damge to the economy though. I get that some inductries really need that leverage, bu there is so much collateral damage, I am losing any respect for them.

Private sector unions serve an important purpose evening out the bargaining power between corporations and the individual. Public sector unions aren't much more than PACs. Mike F.

And in Wisconsin, we're pulling back some of the power of the unions so we can get some control back in our state and local budgets, cut taxes, try to lure business back to the state. My bottom line here is that paring back needless excess isn't a cut-and-dried thing. It is just as bad to have blind faith in labor unions as to have blind faith in Wall Street. With oversight, they'll all take everything they can get. In Wisconsin, the voters have the oversight, and we're flexing that muscle right now.

There are no laws on wall street. Unfortunately we are forced to participate in their activity. Wall Street is just another way to tax the masses of people of their productivity. They don't actually produce anything down there, they just skim off the top of our production. This is a large reason why I advocate labor strikes. It is the only way to flex the muscle of the people and let wall street know they don't control everything. regards, -Lance -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot _____ -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
