WHO ARE THEY?

I'VE HEARD THE DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS SAY THAT CORPORATIONS GET
RICH OFF THE BACKS OF THE POOR. I DON'T CONDEMN COPORATIONS FOR
MAKING MONEY THROUGH FREE ENTERPRISE. CORPORATIONS DON'T
FORCE CUSTOMERS TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS. IF I DON'T LIKE THE
QUALITY OR THE PRICE OF SOMETHING, I CAN SHOP ELSEWHERE OR I CAN DO WITHOUT IT....

LETS LOOK AT THE UNIONS. WHEN I WALK INTO THE SUPERMARKET AND THE
PRICE OF MILK, JUICE, BREAD, EGGS, ETC HAS GONE UP, THAT MEANS THAT
SOME UNION GUY HAS GOTTEN A RAISE. WHEN THAT UNION GUY GETS A
RAISE, HE'S TAKING MORE MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET; AND I DON'T LIKE IT
ANYMORE THAN IF A CORPORATION RAISED ITS PRICES....AS A MATTER OF
FACT, THE CORPORATION RAISES ITS PRICES BECAUSE A UNION DEMANDED
A RAISE.....SO,, WHOSE GETTING RICH OFF THE BACKS OF THE POOR??
BOTH THE CORPORATION AND THE UNION....PERHAPS IF THE UNION STOPPED
DEMANDING HIGHER WAGES THEN THE CORPORATION WOULD CUT PRICES.
I WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.

HERE'S THE WORST THING ABOUT UNIONS, WHEN YOU TELL THEM NO, THEY
PUNISH YOU. THEY GO ON STIKE, THEY WITHHOLD THEIR LABOR OR
SERVICES. IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT POLICE, FIRE, NURSES, TEACHERS,
ESSENTIAL SERVICES,, THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EXTORTION, JEOPARDIZING
PUBLIC SAFETY, LIVES......FOR WHAT??? FOR MONEY.
THE UNIONS ARE NOT STANDING ON ANY MORAL HIGH GROUND. THEY ARE
JUST A BUNCH OF THUGS WHO ARE WILLING TO PUNISH, HARM AND DO
DAMAGE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT.
THEY HAVE NO RESPECT OR REGARD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE PAID
TO SERVE.
WE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF CHUMPS IN THEIR MINDS, JUST A BUNCH OF
SUCKERS........
