While we're at it, let's unionize the military as well. We want more benefits. Our organization spends a sixth of the annual budget and half of all taxes collected annually but we would like more. We want collective bargaining rights and the right to strike without fear of reprisal. We would like to elect our own officers, and be able to have more of a say when we go to war, since elected officials to include the president can't be trusted with this task or level of expertise. Sound ridiculous? How about employers organizing? Employers organize and collectively bargain with their employees to decide how much they will pay. To protect employer rights, we will demand that all employers join a registered employer union or lose their business licenses. Employers could demand a maximum wage, demand that employees purchase their own insurance and healthcare, make their own FULL contributions to Medicare and social security. When employees complain, employers can strike effectively putting everyone out of work. Last but not least, let's not infringe on the rights of these employer unions to collect union dues and donate them to republican causes. The shoe stinks when it's on the other foot.
