Re:Unions not necessary (Score 1)

Nowadays, unions serve to enable employees to exploit employers.

Now, Kirk, you need to show me how this is possible. If my co-workers and I work together to create a product, and we ask for more than the product generates in income after expenses, then the company will go under.

Fact is, workers always take home only a small portion of the value they create. The capitalist keeps the rest for himself. Why?

Because he owns the company. But where did the get the capital from?

Look at the social nature of capital, that is, that it's a socially (or human-created) structure, and realize that even high-wage workers are being stiffed. Workers can have the whole pie, dammit...
