Unions as voluntary organizations of workers are perfectly fine. The problem is when they lobby to twist the law so that it is in their favour and harms everyone else. Some examples: discrimination against non-union workers, making it very hard for employers to fire employees, forcing wages over the market value of the labor (keeping potential new businesses closed and forcing prices to go up). A known American case is teachers' unions making firing poor (even rapist) teachers nearly impossible.

Ron Paul's right! Ayn Rand isn't a Libertarian. She wrote a book praising Capitalism, doesnt ignore that fact she was pro-war, racist & openly claimed that Native Americans & Palestinians are savages who deserved extermination by the superior European colonizers. She was Social-Darwinist.

Lets compare her book to Orwell's who wrote about civil-liberties, but nobody calls Orwell a Libertarian, cuz we KNOW he was a Socialist. Then why do people call Rand a libertarian, when she hated libertarians?

Capitalism isn't bad. Socialism is.

What are you talking about? Or are you referring to Ron Paul? RP is morally consistent, unlike Rand. And what he says and what he does are also consistent, the proof is in his voting-record which is unmatched by anyone else in congress.

I am for unions under free enterprise capitalism. There a bad union is only able to strangle itself.

Under Federal Reserve System MARXISM I am for unions. It is the only way for labor to have any say in their own lives.

[centurion180ad]

YES YES YES YES YES YES

[centurion180ad]

All of what you outline here is a feature of Federal Reserve System Marxism, not of free enterprise capitalism. A bad union in free enterprise capitalism strangles only itself, dito a malicious management.

[centurion180ad]

Sweat shops are a feature of Marxism, not free enterprise capitalism.

Fair treatment means no stealing, and preservation of value-in-exchange.

[centurion180ad]

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Did i mention, NO?

An altruist always sacrifices others. An altruist *says* it is for the common good that horrors are inflicted on the sacrificial victims, but if you bother to look close the only people being "helped" is the altruist mafia that become filthy stinking rich.

If YOU like this, I know what mafia you are in.

Why on God's green earth, would you listen to ANY of the Washington DC gangsters? 'eh? Haven't you figured it out yet?

AMERICA = GANGSTER LAND
