Who, besides Bill Gates, is more wealthy than Warren Buffet?We’ve had 400-600 years of boom bust economics. ALL Rich Elites are ruthless enough to take advantage of the economic cycle.Capitalism needs slaves, but won’t enforce collectivisation.Capitalism enslaves people through Property (Land) Laws, forcing everyone to rent or buy back land (that nature gave freely) making them work 800% harder & by devastating the people’s wealth in great depressions & using inflationary policy.

Yeap, came across a tidbit about GM having set up a “Jobs Bank” to entice the UAW to go along with experimenting the efficient model of the foreign car makers. It turned out to be welfare. Entire rooms at factories where workers stand around doing nothing at all because of fear that their firings would incur the wrath of the UAW. Another interesting fact: current median price of houses in Detroit: $7500

Unions make workplaces less productive: strikes, restrictive job descriptions, interrupting work to spread socialist propaganda, etc. Unions will destroy businesses from the inside and then whine and cry for taxpayer bailouts, just like they did to GM, Ford, Chrysler, Dana, Visteon, Delphi, the steel industry, etc. Negotiated agreements are best negotiated with individuals, not out of touch thugs at the top of the union food chain.

Nobody wants to be FORCED into a union that will FORCE them to pay dues and then FORCE them to miss work because of a strike they voted against.
