The best thing W and the new senate could do for GM and for America would be to tax union dues as income to the union.

In principle I support this, but what's to prevent unions from hiking their dues to make up the dfference?

So what if they hike the dues? That would be counter productive because at some point the workers would insist on eliminating the union altogether.

The point is that the union leadership could spin it as W being responsible for the dues hikes, and get the unions out for the Dems in force in the next election.

I'm in Fla. The market is going gangbusters here. Unemployment is low.

The union leadership will be dead.
