Demand their share? And what share do they have the right to demand? Just because they want it? Is that how it's supposed to be? Your acting like it's a right of passage or something. It's not they that are putting forth the capital of investment, etc., etc. What if there is a decrease in productivity? Should they be held accountable for that and take an associated cut when that happens too? Shouldn't it work two ways, if that's what your saying? Yet it never does.

The great thing about living in America CM (at least for the time being anyways), is that nobody has to work anyplace where they dont like where they are at. Nobody holds a gun to anybody and forces anybody to work anywhere. Every American citizen that does not like their job, does not like the pay, does not like the hours, or does not like the benefits is free to seek other employment if they want to. Nobody in this country is forced to put up anything that they may view as crap. Employers should also have the freedom to hire or deny employment for what ever reason they wish. After all it's their money at stake.




Are you still not going to acknowledge that the air controller's strike was illegal?

It was "illegal" for African Americans to go sit and eat lunch. "Legal" ain't always the test. Justice is a higher concept than "law." Yeah, right, tell a guy with a mortgage and a couple of kids, "Hey, bud, you don't like it...take a walk." Don't play that, Kimball. Most Americans are strapped and trapped; the "golden handcuffs" and all that. It takes a rare individual to walk away from "the Dream" and examine some things, get to the point of "life does not consist in the abundance of material possessions." It is my opinion that, on the whole, workers need to be protected from "owners" much more than vice versa. I think history bears that out. Of course, "an honest day's work for an honest day's pay" does work both ways. An employee who shirks duties and doesn't do an "honest day's work" isn't pulling the weight of productivity.
