as free land) are the greatest

Guess it comes down to what you would call corporate greed and power vs.
what some of us would call Organized Labor greed and power. The
pendulum tends to swing both ways. /mark


There is a big difference though. When the pendulum swings to the side of
unions regular working class Americans get more of everything and it
improves their lives and helps the whole country. When it swings over to the
side of the corporations the only ones who benefit are the company
management and stockholders. They then live like aristocrats while ordinary
people see their lives get a lot worse. Kind of like it is right now. So
tell me, which way is better for the most people?

It is difficult to believe that you are as naive as you appear to be.
Your statement "the only ones who benefit are the company
management and stockholders. They then live like aristocrats while
ordinary people see their lives get a lot worse" is almost
unbelievably uninformed. Have you never heard of CALPERS? One of the
largest stockholders/investors in the world with some $236 Billion
invested. I suggest that you Google "CALPERS" to discover who/what
they are and who the shareholders that benefit are. Hardly
aristocrats, Then, perhaps, you might wish re-word your post above.
