How many such fortunate workers do you think there were during the Robber Baron era, i.e., before FDR's policies, which enabled the Union Movement, went into effect?Did you know that some people work less than 40 hours and get paid well...not because of government.
Did you know that some people get vacation...not because of of government.
Did you know that some people get other benefits like bonuses...not because of government.
I agree. Provided it is held in check by certain socialist regulations -- such as the Glass-Steagal Act which was repealed by Bill Clinton. And there were many more.Capitalism is a great thing.
It seems you are focused on the exception rather than the rule.
Strawman through and through.
1. We don't live in that Robber Baron era.
2. We live in a different one where government protects big business.
3. Unions are not necessarily a good thing.
4. Some regulation is necessary.
5. Some regulation protects the very Robber Barons you complain about.
