Because they are told to vote against their own best interests, and they don't know any better. If you want to see the Dumbing Down of America on display, find a white trash conservative who works for $8.00 an hour and listen to them slam unions, it truly is startling to see and hear.

You wonder,how did the ultra wealthy convince this guy to rant against unions AND argue in favor of tax breaks for billionaires?

The Power of Propaganda + The Dumbing Down of America = a very powerful combination in America.

This forum is inundated with examples of this behavior and mindset.

I googled "crane accident at union job" and go 6.8 million hits. Looks like you have a lot of deflecting to do. lol
Doing nothing, they built the 9/11 memorial, new wtc and every building in NYC. They have done more work in a year than you have your entire life, like i said go down and tell them they sit around doing nothing. Ignorant mother f-er, I swear.

Nope, there are tons of Americans who have no choice but to pay dues to a corrupt labor union in order to maintain employment. I can't fault people for wanting to work, I can however point out how they have no choice but to pay a group of goons who would resort to physical violence against them in a heartbeat.

What does any of this possibly have to do with the NRA? Your anger and ignorance is taking over, it might be time for you to step away from the keyboard for a few minutes before you have a stroke.

I'm not going anywhere near a union worksite with all the crane accidents they have. Most people tend to stay away from drunk crane operators.

I didn't bother reading through the whole thread, but I can say that the nurses unions are a good thing prior to the few states that have them, nurses would get huge nurse/patient ratios and now that is regulated so it not only benefits the nurses but the patients safety. I belong to a nurses forum and the nurses who do have unions are not only much happier but work in safe conditions that many do not.

Should we interrupt their mid morning beer break or one of their 5 afternoon 15 minute smoke breaks?
