Ronald Reagan loved America, no doubt. He was a lovable man. He was charismatic, carried himself with an air of leadership. However, when he broke the air traffic controller's strike, he struck a blow at unions, struck a blow in the direction of the haves. Plus, the idea that what we now have, or, really, have ever had is "free market capitalism" suggests you guys buy heavily into a load of crap.

Thanks to the SPOTUS, we are moving further from a free market economy everyday. More union members now work in government than in the private sector.

The average salary for federal employees far outstrips the average private sector salary. Furthermore, 19 percent of federal employees are now paid salaries of more than $100,000 per year.

It is impossible to have a truly free economy when the federal government robs the private sector of so much wealth. Reagan did the right thing when he fired the air traffic controllers who engaged in an illegal strike and refused to heed his order to return to work.

Most politicians would have just thrown more money at the union as if they had an endless source of the green stuff. That is the Obama way. He has a long history of voting "present" instead of making the right choice.
