You can move to communist China

It is amazing that you would think that opposing public sector unions is some how "communist".

Actually unions are quite popular in communist countries. They allow the government more control over the people by making sure their health care, pensions, work rules, uniforms, days off and everything else is under the control of the ruling party.

Forcing people into associations that they would rather not be a part of, imposing draconian rule on them and making them pay you for the privilege is not American.

JFK understood that expanding union power meant expanding the Democrat base which translated into more thugs and money under his control.

If you are going to state my position, at least do it correctly. I did not say opposing public sector unions is communist. It is actually quite American to take a position against something you disagree with.

I said if someone wants to ban employees from forming a union, perhaps they would prefer to live in a communist country. Curious, where do you get the notion that workers are free to form a union in a communist country?

I get your point. You don't like unions. More specifically, you think the rules have been bent too far in their favor. My response is, work within the system to right the pendulum.
