Sucker's Rally Approaching an End

Owners are capitalists. Workers are not capitalists. They are wage-slaves. The notion that harder/smarter work begets bigger profits is true, just not for the people actually doing the work. Labor's only source of power is to unite for a respectable, livable wage and humane working conditions, i.e., form "unions". Powerless workers get paid what is offered, under whatever conditions are offered. Are we are headed back to kids in factories, 13 hours a day, 6 days a week? OOOPS! we're already there, in Asia. Those kids do work hard though, and they're awful smart! It's amazing how far they can stretch a dime! I wish we could lower costs like that back in the US of A. Keep 'em ignorant, god-fearing and hungry. Jesus willing, we'll get there.

BS. Unionization leads to what we see in the auto industry -- falsely high costs that become unbearable. It leads to wages that are paid NOT based on individual merit -- which is the lifeblood of capitalism, the notion that harder/smarter work begets bigger profits -- but instead, pay based on a collective...this is socialism in pay calculations.
