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.

1. Dude, the function of a union is to protect jobs of its workers. What would you have them do? Take up expressive dance?
2. Businesses that falsify their numbers don't create growth. They create windfalls for their execs with options and shares. The regs and enforcement you're pissed about aren't a response to unbridled growth - they're a response (probably over-response) to fraud.
3. I view unions as the counterbalance to execs who have no interest but propping the numbers to get their bonus packages. Both are cabals of self serving, solely self interested whores. Together, they ass fuck companies exquisitely.
4. The present GOP is not supporting growth at all. What its doing is shoving short term gains into the pieholes of its biggest contributors. They're stripping the cash out businesses. But they don't care. When the whiplash tax increases of a liberal administration hit, they'll already be retired. Those of us in the middle will pay the tax bills when the unions and the lower middle class have their revenge. Same old story. The loathesome rich fight the loathesome poor, and the rest of us pay the tab for the damage.
