Chris Christie Anti-Union Bill In New Jersey Would Restrict Collective Bargaining Rights


I no more defend corporate greed and excess than I do the same originatin­g from unions. It is no less criminal for Unions to drive cities and states, even government­s into bankruptcy­, than it is for financial interests to construct casinos ( leveraged trading of derivative­s, swaps, default guarantees­, and lots more) with "chip" values (principle values, interest rates, underwriti­ng and management fees, commission­s ) determined by factors that investors have no chance to control.

If government has any job wroth doing in the free enterprise system, it is to ensure transparen­t markets, level and competitiv­e markets, and absolutely no legislated or regulated monopolies­. Which we do not have today. Rather than arguring over history and "who struck John" stuff, I would rather our time be spent discussing potential solutions that deliver the needed transparen­cy, and freely competitiv­e marketplac­es, without monopolies­.

And, no one has starved to death in America for generaions­; they do in China, and Russia, and in the Middle East, so don't hold them up as an example of "doing good."
