I think I can help you out here. The US has 300 million citizens, fewer than one percent will participate.

Not sure how you could get any more personal than the above post. Is that all you've got? Patronizing personal attacks? I think that's against the TOS.....but I could be wrong.

What will you do when the corporatists targeting labor laws? Are you not a "worker"?

I wouldnl't be touting the mining industry if I were you. Their safety record is pretty awful. It's because their unions are almost gone that the owners/management pay no attention to safety standars.

Mmmmmmmm do ya think there may be other factors than unions involved in Canada's success? Clearly the Canadian unions do not run the schools like in the US, otherwise there would be no public funds spent on Catholic schools.

Then you are probably blaming the wrong people...I'd take a closer look at the politicians and bureaucrats.

My question was not addressed to you. My question was not against the TOS. My question was in direct response to a poster's statement. Not sure why you chose to interfere in this conversation.
