Unions are not the problem with business in this country...this country was doing better when unions were stronger in the last half of the last century... This country needs stronger unions not weaker ones which has happened in the last 25 years or so... It is beyond me how folks can blame unions for the predicament we are in when in fact unions strength has weakened along with our economy... People who work for 9 or 10 dollars an hour need more money to put back back in the economy,not less...The more money this country puts in the bank accounts of the rich the worse our economy will become.
i agree 100% Hlleonard, corporate America and small businesses are not the job creators, they will not hire one person more then they need to make their product, the working people are the job creators in this country, the more money they make the more things they BUY!!, the more things they BUY the more jobs are needed, the middle class don't put their money in Swiss banks, overseas tax shelters, they spend it, even with all the regulations and environmental issues corporations are sitting on trillions of $$, and they want more, and by the way can we really trust corporations to take of our environment? their record says no, their is room for ever one to have a good life, not just the ones at the top.
