So, Jim, basically the argument of this article can be boiled down to: <br /> <br />1. Private business should be required to pay substantially better wages and benefits to eradicate the social problems of our country. <br /> <br />2. Unions are needed to assure this will happen. <br /> <br />Sounds pretty close to socialism to me. <br /> <br />Where, pray tell are private businesses who must compete in the global marketplace going to get this raft of cash? Who will invest in companies with no hope of making any return on investment as they stagger under this massive burden? Lets not forget that there are already significant payroll taxes in place today as well as numerous other taxes paid by businesses. I find it hard to believe that these taxes would simply disappear. <br /> <br />Sounds like another typical labor solution to a problem. Let us take over and we will line our pockets without fixing the problems... And before you start ranting, please explain to me how the unions fixed anything on the RR on Halloween 1985...or since... <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
