3. Morons think charity should be the sole source of emergency/health/catastrophe funds.

Problem with that is, that method ultimately depends on human generosity and the quantity of jars.

Charities have neither element in their favor.

Makes me sick when I have to see families trying to raise funds for their loved ones committing the crime of getting sick. That's just straight barbaric.

Unions are about balance of power. They are about the big picture. The only way we can create a better America is if the working people of America pull their heads out of their asses and stop voting against their best interests and organize.
