...but you are in hardcore lefty territory here, and most cannot understand the difference between skilled union workers and low paid non-skilled workers.



If only that were always true...

Americans face a hard choice ... Entitlements that will collapse the economy or jobs that will grow the economy

Nothing. Assuming everything is equal in quality and whatnot, paying more for it would be an artificial construct and further destroy the free market.

Now, if it's a higher quality product, well then, that's a different story.

I don't like or support unions, why is that hard to understand? I partially blame them for why our economy is in the shitter.



Im wondering why you have a dislike for American labor. You dont seem to have a reason....you just dont like them. You claim to like spending at American companies but dislike when your money flows to American laborers.


The best way for you to punish American labor is to stop favoring American companies even pay a premium for foreign goods to teach those greedy American workers a lesson.


Im not sure how unions are to blame for the economy. US union representation is at an all time low and the economy has kind of stunk for 10 years.

Kay why do you hate employed Americans? You claim to love America but seem to support the causes that send jobs overseas.
