As any republican economist can tell you, the less you pay people, the more money they will have to buy stuff with.

"Pro-union is anti-American. Unions have put many out of work and have crushed many companies over "workers rights" and their greed. I'll admit there was a time and a place for unions but that time has passed.

I have a job with good pay and good benefits too. NO UNION!"

Stupid people like this simply have no idea just how much harm they do by supporting the 1% over their own self interests. These morons really believe that people wanting to earn a living wage in a safe environment ruins companies.
