And you admit that the only way the workers got what they needed was for them to organize and even fight to the death?
And this somehow proves how great and pure capitalism is?
Seems to me you have just posted a perfect example of how teh welathy would rather oppress the weak than pay a decent fair wage.
Capitalism isnt perfect, and yes I'm willing to admit that. But socialism? Its terrible, tragic and pathetic. You cant have freedom and liberty without capitalism. Period. The system ou want would fail us terribly. The coal companies and everything got worked out didnt it? The ones that havent been regulated out of business make good money now. But the unions are not needed anymore fred. They have a right to assemble, and they have a right to try to negotiate wages on behalf of their members, but in no way shape or form should they EVER, be allowed into government institutions where its the peoples hard earned money on the line. No laws twisted in their favor and nothing to do with government, period. That is the only way unions should be allowed to exist.
