Dude, this is old news. And, uh, wrong on all counts. BTW, without labor unions and their collective bargaining rights, we end up with minimum wage teachers (who are supposed to be helping our kids become smart, sensible adults) and minimum wage auto workers (who are supposed to be making good, safe vehicles to drive). You turn them into minimum wage workers, and we get idiots for kids and cars that are worthless. At minimum, we should be paying teachers 6 figures for putting them through the hell they go through teaching today's youth. Auto workers should be earnings around what they're getting now - I've seen quite a few of them take "breaks" where they just go and get drunk and high, which is BS. If they can afford to be doing that, they don't need higher wages.
