If they can give tax breaks to Big Corps why not to Union members?

[Stoic]

After all, if corporations are now people (sorta like soylent green is people) why not to Union members. The latter could use it a whole lot more. Just saying.

1. Because union members can't afford to buy congress critters

2. The problem is that unions represent people,

those who work and their families.
And people should be subjugated to corporations, under their heels, bought by them.
They even have life insurance policies taken out on them by creditors and employers.
There is no end of exploitation of the people by those who are so wealthy.
To give unions tax breaks, to empower them in any way, will begin a backlash against elites the like of which has never been seen.
But it is a backlash they deserve.
As I've said before, defy Taft-Hartley. Call it out by name as an unjust law.
Let the massive strikes begin, and let the unemployed be organized also.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. because the US is a giant corporation made of smaller corporations

4. They take tons of money from the corps - not so much from the unions...

and the corps buy them to be against unions.

Politicians follow the money.

5. Because they are in office to serve the interests of corporations

over all other concerns. Thus, they are anti-Labor.

6. Union dues are already tax deductable:

7. I don't understand, why would Union members

that get good wages and benefits deserve a tax break? What about the poor guy that works busting his hump on a non-union minimum wage job without benefits?
