[QUOTE="Jones, post: 248173, member: 4805"] You act like it's some big choice we have to make: "Capitalism or Socialism?". It's not. All the western democracies (including ours) are a mixture of capitalism and socialism. France is no more a purely socialist country than we are a truly capitalist one. Put us on an economic scale with total government control at one end and individual anarchy at the other and both countries sit pretty close to the center. Our real differences are pretty miniscule. Sure they can. But in a truly free market the company is under no obligation to negotiate with them. They can just fire all the trouble makers and replace them with immigrant workers for half the price.The reason that doesn't happen is because "mommy and daddy government" has laws that protect workers (that's you) from the wonders of the free market. I have no clue how you got that from anything I wrote. [/QUOTE]
