That is unAmerican. I don't care who the party is, or what their platform is, it is tyranny to tax people more just because they make more money.

Fair enough. Now, what's your take on the growing income disparity? People with more money make even more money, and people with less money make even less money. Does it not sound like a tyranny of some sort to you? Not at all?
Bernie Sanders, in viral speech, says top 1 percent earn more than 23 percent of U.S. income
Am I wrong, or are part of the world who embraced socialism trying to ease away from the philosophy.....maybe we should listen more to their experiences.

It's Unions fight tariffs to protect their wages and benefits....when was the last time tariffs were used?
It was used on CHINESE STEEL and TIRES. STEEL by bush...TIRES by Obama.
At the A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention in this city haunted by the ghosts of shuttered steel mills, Thea Lee, the labor federation’s chief economist, praised Mr. Obama’s decision, saying it would help preserve American manufacturing. She said a surge in Chinese tire exports had contributed to the shutdown of several American tire factories and the loss of thousands of jobs.

Hahahaha he's still talking! 7 hours on!
I believe a LAW must be passed that absolutely forbids any government/tax paid employee from joining a Union .And if someone even suggests unionization again if you don't kill that person immediately then you go to prison for life.
