The bottom line is Unions don't create growth, Pensions don't create growth, SEC regulations don't create growth, businesses create growth. It is all about the business climate. You asked me why I am a Republican when economic growth is my objective and I have demonstrated that the Republicans support pro-growth policies. If they didn't, the Chamber wouldn't support them.

If you want a good metric for third world countries that have successfully developed, look to unionization. It's union wages that create the middle class that fuels demand and creates a real economy, instead of a pure export-oriented economy.
So do you mind when capitalists influence the laws?
