Except the rich who were born with their legacy wealth

You seriously cannot produce a movie better than this documentary. It is a little slow, but around 28mins it heats up and is incredible. If you cant deal with the vid quality, look it up on google vid

@dukee155 Problem is union lobbyist are competing with the corporations that finance the politicians, and frankly the corporations don't need any government protection but unions do need government protection or they'll get busted up and stamped out. Before laws were passed protecting unions, there were no unions, anyone trying to stand up for their rights was thrown out and replaced (the US used to have child sweatshops with high rates of injury and long term health effects).

[dukee155]

@Laughingblades I agree it should not be illegal but the unions have a lot of control in the government there are hundreds of lobbyists for the unions. I also do not think that the government should protect corporations either I believe in equal rights of unions and corporations.

[Laughingblades]

@dukee155 FYI, wow you're naive, unions don't have to be illegal, they simply have to not be protected. Don't you get it? Corporations hate governments that protect the worker, unions were never made illegal, the protections from government were just peeled back by the corporate lobbyist buying congressmen to repeal the workers rights we used to take for granted.

@dukee155 No they got better when the government got involved, oh wait you don't know what laws and regulations made Unions possible and protected do you? Oh well, The Republic of India, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, guess what they all have in common? Socialism has drastically improved their economies, as well as the public standard of living for pretty much everyone, now shut up and work slave because if you even talk about unionizing you're on the street, you're replaceable.

@Laughingblades The working conditions in this country got better before the government got involved. Also I beleive Unions in the private sector are a good thing but it only becomes a problem when the government gets involved because then the corporations will start to pack up and leave and go to other countries where it is illegal to form a union.

@dukee155 That's it, lets start by slashing workers rights laws so that companies can treat employees like absolute garbage, like they do in all those third world shit holes they like to out source to. What are you going to do about unsafe and inhumane working conditions? You can always be thrown out and replaced you ungrateful whelp, go ahead speak up lose your income and watch your family starve.

@dukee155 Which regulations would you like to get rid of first? Should we start with pollution standards so your children can play in toxic sludge? Or maybe we should start with food safety laws so they can eat toxic sludge. Or how about usury laws, oh wait we already got rid of them and look what the banks did. Maybe we should get rid of anti trust laws so that corporations can completely monopolize your town, god knows they practically do already. Or how about workers rights laws?
