This guy is setting up for a class war. People who earn and succeed against those who dont. See below, He really thinks the UNIONS are the answer? Has he paid attention to the auto bailout????

I dont think he wants to start a class war, but he does not want the distribution of wealth in this country to look like Mexico or Brazil. Where would you rather be broke, Rio, which one of the highest murder rates in world, or Toronto, home of blue jays and great walleye fishing.
As far as unions are concerned, the UAW is just one chapter in the broader history of unions. Unions were a big part of furnishing the post war middle class boom (as was Government social programs like the GI Bill) and ensuring work place safety standards. One only has to look at China to see the horrendous conditions that are the direct result of the union prohibitions. Almost 6000 coal mining deaths in 2004 and although china produces twice as much coal as we do stateside, death is 4 times as common per worker and 108 times as common per unit output. Unionizing in this country's coal industry has a lot to with this disparity
