If you have sympathy for someone jumping to their death rather than burning (and I'm thinking 9/11 here - don't click if you're squeamish), does that make you a bleeding heart liberal?

Anyway, how do you correlate unionization with industry leaving the USA? Do you have any data to back that up?

Last I checked, in 1950, many things were "Made in the USA". 40% of American workers belonged to a union.

Today, barely anything is "Made in the USA". 7% of American workers belong to a union.

Personally, I see direct correlation of foreign-made goods with the advent global free trade. Call me crazy.
