I am personally aware of union thuggery. My dad was subject to union thuggery when he worked for GE in Evendale, Ohio. There have also been many instances of union thuggery reported in the press.

Unions are against competition. If you are for unions, you are against labor competition. Unions would not exist without coercive legislation. I would support workers and owners of capital through less regulation, litigation, and taxation.

NAFTA is a very complex agreement. I am sure there are parts of NAFTA that I support and parts that I oppose. On balance, I support less restrictive trade but the details are important in the trade agreements. On balance, I support more efficient movement of goods but I have concerns about safety and illegal immigration that may result.

In other words, you support third world status for American workers as long as it doesn’t cause you any discomfort or danger.
