We need stronger unions so that we may finally put to rest the dream of America. The capitalists put up a good fight, but now there is only attrition wearing away the fabric of the country. It is only a matter of time until all power is sucked away from the individual.
Who do unions represent? The individual? It seems that the teachers union missed that memo. At the local level, the only evil capitalist handling that money is the American taxpayer. There is nothing more sublime than the individual being represented against and at the expense of the taxpayer. For too long the average unrepresented taxpayer has horded their barely above minimum wage income, but strength in these unions could help turn the tide.
At the state level, of course, the poor professors are only making a few hundred thousand a year. Who will protect them from the evil capitalist students? We all know that students epitomize luxury and wealth. Do they not have the money to spare? NO!? Well, they do have credit and that is wealth too in this country.
Those exploited union workers are due their share of future earnings that might be in store for the students. A final surge can secure a chunk of that income for the duration of the lives of those students... victory at last for the mighty unions.
While the unions wage their honorable battle, there is an ever present threat in each of those communities: the wretched free market worker. They are like leeches clinging to the suckled wealth that was hard earned by unions. How dare they provide basic services to the union employees without paying even more tribute.
Do they not know that their minimum wage (still far below the actual cost of living) and 40 hour work week (usually closer to 60 if you aren't union) was earned by those noble union workers for all citizens. They choose (aren't invited or welcome) to not support your unions.
Look at the children of the greedy capitalist pigs. You fought hard so that they could not work at your union workplaces, but they lust so much for the money that they will work under the table in the open market. Why can they not be happy with the wealth that they do have? Sure, they can't afford college otherwise.
They might have no school clothes or cars, but that is the fault of their family for not being invited into a union job. They should suffer that shame and learn to respect that the union is strong and superior.
The unions have even gone a step further to help the community. They have raised the local
