I've butchered Yellowline's quote a little just wanted to capture the essence. I would point out that these obscene, ridiculous, unwarranted, extortion wages and benefits that unions have gone to bat to preserve.......are in fact NOT equivalent to postwar earnings. In those days, a breadwinner could raise a family of children with the help of his stay-at-home wife, they could take vacations and have two cars. The kids could be in sports and whatever activities. Television sets and kitchen gadgets galore. They might even send kids off to college. The entire middle class was set up this way.
Who, besides consulting actuaries, can afford this today?
Now try and tell me that unions have destroyed America by raising wages? Hogwash!
