You know the same men who control the government also control the media. I'll give you a hint....it ain't the unions. tomservo is right about the pendulum effect, since the beginning of time the haves and the have nots have battled for power. Traditionally the haves win most of the time, but occasionally there is a shift in the direction of the pendulum. When Jimmy Hoffa dissappeared the pendulum stopped swinging in favor of the have nots. When Reagan crushed the air traffic controllers union and sent a green light to America to follow suit was when government interceded into business and pushed the pendulum back towards the haves.
Today, the pendulum is still swinging towards the haves, as the ruling in Michigan shows. Eventually something will come along and trigger a change of direction again, it always does, because the haves can never control themselves, and will keep taking until one straw finally breaks the camels back again. Look through history, this pendulum has been swinging for thousands of years, and thanks to man's inherent greed, it will continue to swing as long as we all survive. One man will always try to take advantage of other men. That is life.
