“There isn’t a fireman, cop, hands-on plumber, or carpenter in this country that has built an Apple, US Steel, or 3M. Not a one has worked out the math to put a man on the moon or written the software to analyze a DNA sequence. Without the inventors, researchers, and risk takers who did build those companies your precious unions would be clawing in the dirt with their bare hands. You have no idea what makes an economy run.”
Just for fun, would you list some scientists who analyze those DNA sequences, researchers or inventors who didn’t depend on government grants and loans(read: taxes from plumbers, firemen, policemen,etc) to do it?) Not fair going back to the likes of Edison and such. You were talking 3M and Apple.
I’m sure you know of some and I’m genuinely interested in the information. I can’t yet put my finger on why your theory sounds off a bit to me.
Just off the top of my head, I'll start with Alex Zaffaroni.
