What Kind of Country Would we be if Every Job in the United States Were Unionized?
Answer, the broke USSA.
Liberals speak a good talk about workers rights and livable wages, however, if you were to abandon the free market and pay workers above their market worth then economic disaster would come to the United States. You will never eliminate the bottom 20%. Nevertheless, Karl Marx viewed unions as the vehicle to socialism/communism, which is why the modern democratic party are socialists. If unionization is good for a few companies then they would be good for all companies right? Wrong.
I see. Then Germany is broke?
Daily Kos: Germany thrives on unions, socialized medicine, high taxes.
With strong unions, with universal health care, with strong green economy, social security and unemployment benefits, with strong public education system, Germany is thriving with its exports surging and a big trade surplus.
The US tanks with attacks on unions, no universal health care, weak green economy, cuts to social security and unemployment, cuts to public education. The US has massive trade deficits and rising unemployment and the wrong jobs.
Be nice if you wingnuts would stop the talking point lies.
