The point I was trying to make is that in general the policies the laws they push don't lead to increased growth. I think I showed that.

I am not pissed about all the regs and enforcement. I just don't like most of the ones the unoins push. Generally they just push for laws that restrict competition.

I don't necessarily disagree with that. It is just when the unions start lobbying for laws to protect their jobs. i.e. stopping free trade, telling Costco they can't sell food etc.

They're stripping the cash out businesses. But they don't care. When the whiplash tax increases of a liberal administration hit, they'll already be retired. Those of us in the middle will pay the tax bills when the unions and the lower middle class have their revenge. Same old story. The loathesome rich fight the loathesome poor, and the rest of us pay the tab for the damage.

By supporting free trade they are supporting growth.
