Compare the Canadian marajuana violence with the actions of labor
unions
in
the United States. Using the same logic, labor unions should be
outlawed.

Most labour unions seem to think that people should get paid even if
they
don't produce anything. If labour unions had their way, then the
American
Dream would collapse in no time at all.

Bwahaahhahahhahahhaha. Funny, most indicators of prosperity in the US have
been declining steadily over the last 20 years or so, coinciding very
nicely
with the decline in................drumroll please............Union
membership.

It also coincides very nicely with an increase in government interference in
the way that businesses are run. Over here, anti discrimination laws mean
that job application forms may not ask about marital status, physical
ability or date of birth.

A friend of mine has a small business that provides supplies for window
cleaners. A local government inspector recently made him spend $1,500.00
fitting a "disabled bathroom" in his premises. How many disabled window
cleaners do you know?


Are you some sort of fascist, Donal? Somewhat ironic, you could
exchange the word "labor union" for "CEO" and come up with a statement
that
more correctly reflects reality with the addendum, "don't produce anything
and drive the business into the ground and get a huge bonus".


That is a typical socialist viewpoint. 95% of "CEO's" are small
businessmen, who don't earn huge bonuses.

Look around you! Look at the little shops, the gas stations, the boatyards
and all the other small businesses that provide employment for the
ungrateful masses. You would happily saddle all these businesses with
additional costs without any thought for the financial cost, or the time
that the owner must invest, so that your utopian view of life could be
maintained. The reality is that increased costs slow down growth. You
cannot hire more people if you are spending the cash on bathrooms for the,
non-existant, disabled.


So, you think that I'm a fascist!! Somewhat ironic, since I bet that you
have never been directly responsible for the creation of a single job. Do
you think that you have a "human right" to an income that allows expensive
holidays on an annual basis?
