I knew what you meant Don, I also agree with alot of what you are saying. I think the old Steel Mills in Pittsburgh might be a good example. Those were hard working Salt of the earth folks and really kinda got the shaft do to this free trade stuff. Yes I agree Unions can be evil. But just because something can be made in another country by child labor sometimes for pennies while Americans suffer is wrong. That does go on and that may be a bad analogy for this topic but there is truth there none the less. I'd much rather buy from Japan then I would China or Korea.
The guy right down the road here at Ford from me that they had an average of 77 dollars per hour in counting benny package and everything is just frickin nuts. Now they are hiring some in down here at 14 dollars an hour and competing with foreign markets and making money bigtime again. The Unions are very Mofia like. The upity smucks in those Unions make salaries that are staggering and the idea that, ''Screw the company our people need to make more money'', just about was their demise.
I feel you bro and understand, I just want to get back to the old school mentality when my Dad and your Dad was young. Where they did an honest days work and took chest pumping pride in it and felt nobody could do it better. That's what I want to see again, and call me an eternal optimist if you want but we can see that again in this country if people dedicate themselves to making it happen.
