We don't have unions anymore. Reagan busted them.

    Not an American, what happened? How does a president just remove unions?

    because the "land of the free and the home of the brave" turned out to be just another marketing phrase… America is full of meek sheep waiting for someone else to solve their problems

    The unions are forbidden from organizing general strikes. They can organize a strike from their own ranks, but that’s it.

    A general strike has to come from somewhere else.

    Presidents are forbidden from carrying out acts of war without congressional approval, yet look where we are. Why must we be bound by the law when they are not?

    The president has already captured the only authorities that could check him: the judicial and congressional branches of government.

    That is why he is not being bound by laws.

    Until Unions can claim the same, they are vulnerable.

    I’m not saying I like it. Just that these are the facts.
