[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4520132, member: 63706"] I don't disagree with everything you wrote. People with degrees do make more on average than those without, but again, if the labor market is glutted with degree holders, then the advantage diminishes. And on an individual level, a degree is not a guarantee of much of anything. Regulations can help protect workers, but they also have the added pitfall of creating the exact business environment you seem to hate. In fact, large corporations encourage more regulations in order to prevent smaller businesses from competing with them. Just like cartels use the DEA to wipe out their competition. Welfare should not ever be encouraged, it should be a last resort. Federal jobs are ok for what they are worth, but you need a healthy tax base to support them. I like the idea of encouraging unions, and making it easier for workers to hold companies and unions accountable. I'm also not opposed to shorter work weeks, or more flexible scheduling options. It might help with creating jobs, but would certainly be good for workers. And I agree that bailouts and endless wars are bad. [/QUOTE]
