[QUOTE="fedx, post: 3265576, member: 64891"] I agree with you. Capitalism is the best form of economics. However corporatism is the warped, perverted Frankenstein monster it can become. Corporatism is all about buying up your competition to become bigger and have less competition as a result. And yes, crony corporatism ran rampant under Obama. GE, Google, Facebook, Warren Buffet made deals behind the scenes giving them more power in exchange for doing the government favors (for example Facebook spying on users and passing that info on to NSA, or Warren Buffet getting exclusive rights to use his BNSF toy train set to haul Keystone oil all because he paid off Obama to veto the Keystone Pipeline law). Here's a fun bit of irony. FexEx Express employees cannot easily unionize because of the Railway Labor Act (RLA) which also covers airlines. However, FedEx pilots are members of the ALPA union and make around $300K a year as a result. So why can't all FedEx Express employees be members of that same airline union that the pilots are members of since FDX is considered an airline? That union would gain about 200,000 new members if couriers/handlers/ramp agents/rtds could join. I'm sure that union has some elite, exclusive membership requirement like you can only be a pilot, but that's stupid to put limits like that on yourself. You open membership to all FDX employees-since we're classified as an airline after all-and you'd see your hourly wage go up like a plane. [/QUOTE]
