| Glenn Beck
was wondering if you guys watched the Glenn Beck show last night.
he had an economist on and the guy was talking about unions and such. he said that there are 12 or 22 states that have work rights, which basically give more freedom to chose or not to chose private companies to unionized.
the economist said that those states have a much higher economical growth rate that states that do not have work rights. he said that that the states that have bigger unions, have a more stagnate economy.
he also said that if we became a more unionized nation, then our economy would pretty be like France with very little growth.
wonder what your thoughts were on this. |

| Labor unions serve no practical purpose today. They were effective decades ago, but they have long outlived their intended purpose and have become a crutch for lazy whiners. | |
