Save the flag waving and applie pie nonsense and answer the question directly.

Save it for who??? Someone who cares about the country???

Why should I and millions of other consumers want to pay higher prices so a few can benefit?

These truck drivers ARE the other consumers...It certainly can't be just the truck drivers that bug you...It has to be the people that built your house...And of course the people that built your car...And the guy that installed your telephone...And the cashier that checks you out at the store...

Man, all those people who make a decent wage, so maybe then, can buy whatever product/service you provide...If you could only cut THEIR wages to make life more comfortable for YOU...

What’s better for the US?

A US driver that earns 60,000 annually, or a foreign one earning 35,000 annually?

Which of the two will spend their pay here in the US?

They are a tiny percentage of consumers.

Sorry, most union workers get paid far in excess of what their actual skill merits. And yes, it's very UNAMERICAN to subsidize lazy, nonproductive workers. That's the commie system. So save the phony flag waving.
