I think they are despicable. (In most cases.) While I recognize that workers should be treated fairly I do not think workers should not be able to be fired, or they are deserving of some ridiculous pay because they are union workers. I do not think they should protest inside the state capital as a way to influence public opinion or to influence lawmakers. The unions are communism and in America we are capitalists. You can be a communist, just go somewhere else or stop complaining.
What say you?

Thats true, but not really. Capitalism is spawned from one determining his own worth which usually begins with small business.
Communism is nothing but a sad pity party where everyone loses big.

capitalism is not exploitive, it is actually working hard and achieving things. Name one successful person who didn't work hard.
On exploitation, ask those who are making running shoes or cheap clothes for westerners in sweat shops in the far east if they feel exploited. They also work pretty hard , yet share little of the wealth, not even enough to buy a pair of the shoes they make.

Yeah I know, it says made in China and the sweat shops they work in, did I mention that China is communist. Yeah cheap labor works a bit to our disadvantage in a global economy. In America you could hire illegal aliens and pay them way less than any citizen., but thats a whole nother issue. All people talk amazing amounts of BS about USA but when it all comes down to it this is where they want to come to find a better life.

No, I just think you all are content and thats fine if you are but I really don't think you are unless you wouldn't be here. So the two obviously don't go along, but there is hope. The real dream behind capitalism was to manifest destiny as everyone has the ability to do, but so few understand. You don't do it by complaining or being a lazy cowardly individual. You do it by creation and teaching others what you have learned to create and that is capitalism, the arm of creation.
