We can kill unions by forcing them to collect their own dues. The funny thing is that the Detroit democrat mayor is the one who brought me around to thinking that way. He’s being sued for refusing to deduct union dues from some city worker’s paychecks.

Force the unions to start passing the hat around to collect their own dues and a guarantee they’ll start to disintegrate.

None of my Michigan lib-dem friends are politically astute. Not a one. Zip, zero, nada.

Michelle Berry runs a private day-care service from her home on the outskirts of this city, the birthplace of General Motors. "The Berry Patch," as she calls the service, features overstuffed purple gorillas, giant cartoon murals, and a playroom covered in Astroturf. Her clients are mostly low-income parents who need child care to keep their jobs in a city that now has a 26% unemployment rate.
