welcome to being a republican.

No, that would have more troubling implications. Especially down here in FL where the Republicans have just openly put up legislation for sale - lawfully and full blown. Can't be part of that.

only if you belong to a union.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

only if you belong to a union.

I don't belong to a union, never have and don't think ever will. But I do believe that workers have a right to band together if they elect to do that. There isn't a benefit provided by my employer today that I would enjoy if it wasn't for workers banding together fighting for them in the last couple of centuries. I'm not ready to step on the organizations that helped lift the standard of living and working conditions for hundreds of millions of people. The corporate elites certainly will. And their marionettes in legislatures and governor's mansions. Well, and the sheep running with them.
