Those things are not related.

God help you if you are ever living in the country that you think this is. Because if you don't have your own army you won't live very long.

There you are talking all greedy and selfish OOOOhhh don't interfere with MY pie with your labor laws. With out that type of law what's to stop someone with more goons and more lawyers than you from taking what is yours.

The thing about the US labor laws is that the were enacted not to prevent fat cats from stealing from people like you, but to stop them from doing it because they were doing it every day.

I don't distrust the government. I never said I did. I'm not talking out of the side of my mouth. You are not reading what I am writing. I wish, I sincerely wish that people like you and your Lockheed Martin could opt out of the protections that you oppose. That would be an incentive for you to learn how the world works.

You are putting all of this faith in corporations to look after you, to create jobs if we give them incentives, to prove healthcare etc because the market may demand it, even though you cannot be stupid enough to think that they are not designed to do so and would not do so if it were not for external factors.

Do you think that your Lockheed Martin pals would have health care if it weren't for unions? If you do you need to learn a little history.

Government is not perfect but it is necessary and it is the best wat to accomplish a number of things.

I don't know where you got the idea that I put "so much distrust" in government. Certainly it wasn't from anything I have said. I don't like George W. Bush. But he is a lazy arrogant little twerp who has done much to undermine government but even with that. The US government is strong and but for the leadership of his underqualified political appointees, quite well run.
