No, political parties don't force you to pay up and join, nor do they prevent you from working.
Bullshit. Unions don't either. Unions make up 7% of the workforce in this country, most of which is in the Public Sector. There's no law saying you have to work for a Union shop... go to the other 93%. You know if they are union before you apply. So shove that strawman up you ass.
To answer the question... No Unions aren't people, neither are corporations, and neither of them should be allowed to collectively donate money to campaigns. I'll tell you what, when there's transparency in these "SUPER PACS" and when Corporations stop doing it, you let me know... then I'll start bitching about Unions. OK?
There is no law saying you have to work for a union shop... but if the owner of a "union shop" hires you ... its the union that will force you to join if you want to work..regardless if you have been hired or not.
Simple... no dues... no job
In my book that is extortion. take that and shove it up your straw man ass.
Now days, shop owners can't do shit, since unions are acting like they are owners.
