Our nation is threatened by these communists. If we are to survive as a capitalist society, we must destroy the unions. These people hate business and seek to destroy our productive capabilities.

@Dwyight easy to say when you have never had to work in the coal mines sir.

@Dwyight I suggest you move to China where labor unions are forbidden.

Ironic isn't it? The worlds most powerful emerging capitalist society is communist!?!?!

The US is GREAT because of the labor unions that created a thriving middle class. Union workers literally built this country; the roads, the trains, the cities, the cars, the schools, the police, fire fighters, energy production... The list goes on and on. This country is FOR AND BY THE PEOPLE not the your wealthy corporate elite.
