I understand where you are coming from, but when I think of the large amounts of money taken from union workers to pay the fatcat union bosses and the parlay of it to fund liberals like Zer0, they deserve no sympathy from me.
Well, I agree that the worst things about unions is that they remind me of animal farm. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Leaders start out as workers but they end up living as high as the capitalists. The worst unions are the public employee unions. I was a long-time member, and local leader in a teachers’ union, and it was interesting to see how one evolved into autocratic institutions that spend most of its resources on matters unrelated to the welfare of the members. But most teachers went along, wanting to be taken care of, and uninterested in playing a role in the governing of the union.
