Default Re: Bucks Knives ... too!

The vehement anti-union stuff one sees and hears everywhere is pretty surprising in that only about 12% of the work force is unionized and of that 12% something like 8% is public employees.
The same greedy corrupt type-a personalities that ruined unions are the same ones that have ruined most big corporations.
Union labor was never as costly as the detractors would have one believe, and did end things like child labor and start things like weekends off, safety, health insurance and a rise of the middle class.
The fact of the matter today is the American worker is not important to the global economy and multi-national corporations owe no loyalty to any country.

"It is pretty obvious that the debasement of the human mind caused by a constant flow of fraudulent advertising is no trivial thing. There is more than one way to conquer a country."
Raymond Chandler

That said I still see a few made in USA Bucks at the local Farm & Fleet maybe I should of bought that on sale one.
