Try and find out about what things were like before unions.There were 5 year old kids working for 25 cents a day in 1900 and they might be the only one in the family that had a job because if you were old and had been broke down from working since you were 5 you were old at 16 and who wants to hire an old man?If there werent unions nobody would work 40 hours or have overtime pay or paid vacations or anything.Actually people that lived on a farm had a good life compared to somebody that tried to make a living in a factory because they at least had food,most of the time people in the city could not afford to eat real good.This would be just like China.You would probably die before you were 50,no health care,there would be no middle class,just rich and slaves.You sure wouldnt live in a house like you do with a Television and computer and probably wouldnt have enough money to buy a gun and maybe not shoes or not very good ones.Think of poor people you know,and how they live,and those would be rich people in a country without ever having unions. You think that things are bad,big companies are even going broke,well they pay those people that run a company into the ground more than you or even 200 people will ever make working their whole life in a year.Somebody that"owns"a company makes billions off of it a year,besides pays the crooks that get millions to ruin it,then the billionaire moves it overseas to have slaves work it so they can make even more billions.What did you say was wrong with unions?Seems like the unions got people doing the work more of a cut of the profit to me,I could be wrong.Rich people dont usually loose money especially when its hard times for working people.A few will loose some,and a few will loose it all,but most of them will make money off of your misery.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
