[quote=Arraya][quote=harvey]Yeah, right.
The purchase of political influence is the core problem in our government today. There’s plenty of it on both sides: corporations on the right, unions on the left.

Well, the unions have been getting weaker for about 4 decades. How come the democrats are such failures?[/quote]
Not supported by facts at hand. If guards @ prisons in California can exceed $100k/yr with full benifits, GM Union Autoworkers can almost do the same, San Diego Port Authority fork lift operators get nearly $140k/yr.. seems to contradict the statement.
An interesting side note: Union contributions to Political Parties do not show up as a large contribution from the Union. It shows up as individual contributions from the Union members, even if the Union member is not a member of the political party selected by the Union. There was an attempt to pass a law that allowed Union members to select out of the political contribution.. but last I remember, it had not been passed.
