Union leaders are corrupt. Politicians are corrupt. CEO’s of large corporations are corrupt. Pick your poison.
OK, so you may even say that you're corrupt as all hell but I'm telling you that the vast majority of humankind (including union leaders, politicians, and CEO's and even used-car salesmen and lawyers) are very good people who know right from wrong and are honestly trying to do good.
--and fwiw, my personal guess is that even you are in fact not that bad a guy either.
