RB--What is a neocon--nobody has ever answered that question. I think you just mean conservatives you don't agree with.

My beef with unions is personal and goes back nearly 60 years when the Teamsters put my father, a sole proprietor bakery route driver out of business until he joined the union. So unions can be just as hard on workers as the bosses.

While businesses can be ruthless, so can unions. Ask all those folks in the newspaper unions who force the papers to shut down.

There is good and bad in both.
