heh,

its just "BUSN 115" and you're talking to a guy who used to carry a machine gun for a living, so there might have been a little overkill.  There is only so much to be proved in a 115 class, but the debt chart helped.  I like provoking people intellectually, its fun.  

Here's an alternative idea. Just say "Unions suck, man." A sure winner. If all else fails, just say, "Oh yeah?"


actually, I wanted to say "Unions are for bums who don't want to work, and if I'm insulting anyone in this class, good, that was the intent."

but i held back, I need the grade.

Socialism is not unlike a union. History has proven them both to be bad ideas for innovation and progress.

Consider Michigan, a state that is rich with unions. They have the highest unemployment rate in the US. Germany has a 12% unemployment rate; the highest of any major industrialized country in the world. This comes from Businessweek, which goes on to state:

"...In Michigan, the problem is sclerotic corporate health-care, pension, and wage policies that are hugely expensive. In Germany, where the government controls these policies, the problem is national. Yet the result is the same: Manufacturers are increasingly uncompetitive in the global economy. Peopl who still have jobs and those who are retired are doing quite well, but at the expense of their children and others who can't get jobs because companies find the cost of hiring prohibitive.
     The obvious solution is to make health care, pensions and wages more flexible and less generous - to give companies more incentive to hire. In Germany, political pressures have slowed moves to reform. In Michigan, unions have stopped companies, particularly Detroit auto makers, from taking the necessary steps."

If you need to cite your source, it's in the April 18th edition on Businessweek, editorials, page 112.
