You're really a simple-minded twit. Yamaha is an organized employer,
here and in Japan. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, in fact, members of UAW
Local 19 manufacture flutes, trombones and trumpets. In Japan, members
of the union there forced out a CEO who wasn't performing up to snuff.

There is a democratic union movement worldwide, and it includes unions
and their members who do not work for slave wages and who are not
exploited by the companies for which they work. Given, the Japanese
unions are not the same as ours, and many are what we would call
"company unions," but the fact remains, unionized Japanese industrial
workers have wages and working conditions similar to our unionize workers.

In the more advanced nations of northern Europe, of course, unionized
workers do better than our workers do here, in terms of a combination of
compensation, health care benefits, re-education benefits, vacations and
pensions.

The United States since Ronald Reagan has devolved into a society that
throws away its members. We're no longer at the top of the food chain.

And idiots like you haven't a clue.

So go play with your daddy's penis, er, rocket powered jet boat, eh?

Hey Hairball, that junker of yours is made in China by slave labor.

Can you spell H Y P O C R I S Y ?

Good reply, Harry. You're not far off on the tax issue - ours are too high,
but theirs are higher still.
Also, our unemployment, nationally, isn't nearly 10%, but less than half
that.

Harry, you forgot to mention some of the other 'benefits' of the workers
in
your northern european socialist utopia. An example from Germany:
exhorbitant taxes,

Just like the US, with the combo of federal, state and local taxes, plus
sales taxes, you mean?


10% unemployment,

Just like the US?


mediocre and unpopular government
healthcare system,

We don't even have that.

persistent weak economy,

You mean, like the US?



pervasive government
interference in every aspect of daily life and business,

Just like the US under General Asscroft.


cost-of-living far
higher than in the US,

Because education and health care are available to all.



low job satisfaction, etc, etc, etc.

Just like the US?


All courtesy of
socialist-labor government policy run amok.


Or, just like the US, a neofacist Republican government run amok?

Hey, Hairball, did you stab your union brother in the back
when you bought that rice grinder?

You're taking union jobs from Canada and the USA.

If you are going to engage in little boy name calling, you should at
least learn to spell.

Wow! Basskisser, where have you heard that before?

As usual, little boyish name calling. What a simple little man you
are. So predictable, so childish. Where IS that proof of Georgia
reciprocity??
