Unions were originally there to help workers with dangerous work conditions. Now with all of the govt. regulations on business there is really no need for them and they keep costing the country jobs. Just the same way there is not much use for many of our elected politicians, we have plenty of laws and we don't need any more they know it, but they have to find a way to hold on to their jobs.

I think with voting going from 30something % to 60something % things will get fixed. Our vote is our message. Unfortunately we have focused on the individual, and not our country as a whole. Definatley things need to change. I do not like Obama. I think he got votes, because it was a message. He didn't get mine. Things are not working as they are except for the few.
All this crying about who pays what taxes. Why not an equal tax for everyone. No more advantages to those who can afford them. Such as the second home etc. etc. Let those in D.C. pay their own damned insurance. They can afford it easily. I really wish I could vote myself a raise, and free healthcare like D.C. does.
Greed is not good. It brings about scoundrel behaviour, and soon these people feel entitled to what they are taking. So they manipulate more into their own pocket. Those at the top forget we workers need to make a descent check, so we can afford what they are attempting to sell.
The bailout is a joke. Banks getting a handout to buy another bank, and not releasing funds. These people should be charged, and imprisoned. I am not talking about a country club. I am talking where Bubba wants your A$$
, because you stole his mommas retirement fund.
