If we want to rebuild the American middle class, we need strong unions.

From *Crinton's ad pimping Hussein - "That’s what got us in trouble in the first place. President Obama has a plan to rebuild America from the ground up, investing in innovation, education and job training. It only works if there is a strong middle class.

The union's wings can be severely clipped by doing two very simple things:

a. End the concept of the "closed shop". Leave the decision of whether to join the union, or not, in the hands of the employee where it belongs. Forcing workers to join something they don't want to is just not right. A democracy becomes evil without the right to opt out.

b. End the practice of corporations acting on the union's behalf and deducting dues from employee's paycheck for them. Workers should have to sit down and cut a monthly check and send their dues directly to the unions.

Treat them like a social club and see how far they get.

Unions can work if they’re exclusive to the private sector, thuggery is properly prosecuted, and politicians/state remain uninvolved.

The best way to celebrate Labor Day?

Put up a "Don't Tread On Me" flag. The unofficial flag of the Tea Party.

Though, personally, I like the Arizona version. It speaks to Obama and the Democrats directly.

Every time I plop down $13 bucks to cross the pot-holed Verrazano bridge or go across the crowded Lincoln tunnel in NYC I wonder how much of that extortion is greasing up their Unions via indirect allocation.

Unions were ok during the 19th century but have become corrupt commie institutions fleecing the public. Time to clean them out and make them voluntary.

Pray for America
