Why Do We Hate Unions?

What makes me angry about the world is the seeming onslaught of a business mentality.

There seems to be little room in the world today to just be an artist. To create for the love of creating. To create something that moves others.

It seems that everyone wants you to notice them for the sake of being noticed. Get more likes. Get more click-thrus. Get more virtual friends.

Even traditional liberal outlets such as NPR have programs dedicated to the interests of business. Focus on the Dow Jones and Nasdaq has supplanted any focus on unions.

Unions have been so smeared by corporate interests that it will be a long time before they regain credibility in the eyes of many.

Yet, we will still affix credibility on multiple corporate and political interests despite the myriad scandals involving those entities.

Corporate and political scandals have cost Americans more than any union corruption. Yet, the corporate PR machine has done a marvelous job at deflecting attention away from its soiled self. We sill vilify unions.
