any situation where you have an organization "getting free stuff" for its members, you're going to get into corruption, unfulfillable promises, and shattered hope and dreams when reality finally wins out.
that's just as true about unions as it is about the government.
They keep promising more and more - "elect me, I'll give you more stuff, elect him and he's going to take stuff away from you".
It's easy to see why the wrong people get ahead in these organizations.
It's great to get all sorts of "free" stuff; home loans we can't afford, medical coverage for anything we want, a guaranteed income for life, etc etc.
But simple physics dictates that some day reality strikes, it all gets too good to be true.
The unions have seen it, and are certainly seeing it around the world. Our nation is about to see it.
It's so easy to blame rich people for it all as a last ditch effort.
Sad fact is, you could take 100% of the income of all the "rich" in the US and still only run business-as-usual for a few extra weeks.
The government has overstretched. Unions have overstretched. They've both gotten to the point where there's no physical way to keep up with what they've promised.
Unions have gone WAAAAY past fighting for human working conditions. WAAAAAAAAY past that.
don't call me anti-union - I'm anti corruption. Just like you have to be fair to workers, you have to be fair to the companies that employ them. It HAS to be a two way street.
I'm 10000% for establishing a fair system of opportunity - but I'm 10000% Against putting a guarantee on success for all.
All we can do is hope that americans wake up to this reality. Sadly, I personally think we're too far gone past the tipping point.
There is no country in history that has ever gotten itself out from behind so much debt by raising taxes (on the rich, on the poor, on the middle class, or on all of them combined).
The ONLY way we will save ourselves from this mess is to get our economy booming again. As hard on the ears as that may be for many of today's americans - that means we have to help businesses prosper, making those that start them and run them richer.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
