My apologies, Joe, but many of us are carrying forward a theme from multiple other threads from over the years.
Most of the people who take the opposing side (from mine) of this argument would disagree with what you’ve written.
Many of these anti-govt/anti-union threads are started because somebody is trying to continue the debate from other threads. This would obviously be confusing for those who come in mid-stream. I apologize for my part in adding to this confusion.
