Now, as they retire, they realize they underestimated their costs as their stocks tank and interest on their mortgages triple. My benefits cover cost of living increases (inflation), health services, education, and even burial. and I retired at 70% of my salary.

I noticed he closed up shop recently. Maybe the IRS finally audited him. I hope so. He tried to screw with my unemployment after he fired me for missing work because I was at the hospital passing kidney stones. He kept calling the unemployment office and telling them I had side gigs making cash.

    The problem is most business owners pay themselves minimum wages because wages are taxable. So they minimize taxable income. While their company grows in value, their net worth increases and they pay minimum taxes. If they need money they take out a line of credit and claim interest tax deductions. Legal tax avoidance.

Except the union pays my medical insurance premium, it contributes to my 401k, endures that I'm fairly paid for overtime, ensures I make full prevailing wage, ensures that I'm qualified to work in my trade, provides free career training and gives my voice some authority in contract negotiations. That's worth $13/hr.

    My stepfather was a Teamster Driver, as a kid, thanks to his insurance, I was able to receive the medical and dental care that we couldn't afford prior, his job was protected at least twice that I know of. And his retirement benifits were great. In fact when he passed, my mom ended up selling everything of value they had, including her wedding ring to make ends meet, (Unfortunately they had both lost all the money they had invested during that big stock market crash).

    Mullen thought he had a "gotcha ", but the script got flipped. Your CEO tears are falling on your slip.

    When you hear folks start prefacing what they are about to say with things like, "I'm not a witch...", "I mean no disrespect, but...", "I ain't gonna lie...", and "I don't dislike Unions...", you know what's coming next. I love this exchange. We need more of this sort of pushback when Republicans start grandstanding.
