Am i missing something nopant68? U would rather give your money to a big corporate company who pays there employees peanuts and actually sets them up with government assistance, then give your money to a hard working american? This is why our country is in the hole from guys like this!!!!!!!!! Its not the unions that created this hole we are all in!
Let me get this straight- so by your account the people who work at WalMart are not hard working Americans? Does WalMart force people to work at their stores? WalMart buys in massive bulk and avoids the headaches that some unions bring to a corporation so it can offer items at a discount price. It would be a poor choice to blame a guy like me for the hole we are in because I buy cereal and grease sweep at Walmart bud. Get a clue.

Let's take for instance the teacher's union. How about in New Jersey where you have some of the poorest test results with some of the highest paid wages. When Chris Christie asked that particular union to pay for 1% of their own health care they balked in protest. That would have saved the bankrupted state millions. Nope- that sound like a union that wants to help save America? You think it's much different in CA? It's worse.

I'm not blaming your union for the downfall of America. You may or may not be able to understand that. But don't question my patriotism or my will to do my part.
