Anti-Union = Everyone but the rich should suffer

People who get angry at unions want everyone else to suffer. Thing is that even if just a part of the population is unionized, not only do they raise wages for non-unionized sectors, unionized workers have more money to spend and put more money into the economy and thus benefit the economy, which helps everyone.

..average Fox/Abc or whatever viewer. Most of them start out with some ridiculous point about dues. "The dues eat up all your extra wages" "The meetings are endless" (wtf?)

I DO have an advantage over most of the people here (in one area. )

With my accent I can act like I'm NOT an American and say shit like: "We Auw-strall-ions don't aunderstand you nice people anywhii"
"Are minimum wage is ova 16 dollars...what's the fuck is wrong with the people's spoin (spine)..here."

I'm MUCH kinder than that usually but it's fun to see them turn green !
