Labor Unions

The labor union has two difficulties; the first one is that it began to make a labor scale for all classes on par, and they scale down a man that can earn five dollars a day to two and a half a day, in order to level up to him an imbecile that cannot earn fifty cents a day.   That is one of the most dangerous and discouraging things for a working man.

  1. Equality at the expense of individuality, is that not what some people strive for now a days? So that everyone can be equal, and no one great, and no one worth less. The pixar movie The Incredibles, I remember the villian saying something about how "once everyone is incredible, no one will be".
