Wanna know why Unions are dangerous?
Because they are parasites. They take and they take without providing value.

Compensation. What one offers another in trade for goods or services. Most often today, it’s money. That is, I pay the service station money in exchange for gasoline. Or, I pay the tavern in cash in exchange for beer.
Occasionally, the compensation may be something besides money. Then it becomes a sort of barter. One party trades a good or service in exchange for another; wheat for milk. Dental work for electrical work. Whatever.
Another example is health care. Rather than our employer compensating us in cash, they instead compensate us in insurance.*
Imagine, if you will, if our employer compensated us in groceries rather than cash–just like health insurance. What would our world look like?
Wanna know the only way to establish a monopoly?
Government regulations.
And I find it funny that the very same people who clamor when companies like Microsoft or Intel have a “strangle hold” on the market are the very same one who demand, DEMAND I tell you, that the government regulate a monopoly for something that they think needs regulating.
Way.
Too many times we see a “problem” or a wrinkle in how markets work or are working and we think:
This is a problem
And we immediately think that the only solution is to implement process that will “prevent this from ever happening again.
And that’s just wrong thinking.
For too long, the very institution on the spear’s tip of delivering liberty to us all has been suffering from the restriction of that very liberty.
This year, the United States of America righted a wrong and rescinded the prohibition of gays serving openly in the military.
And it’s long passed time.
