it has to go.

You're right that unions put pressure on this system for awhile (my dad belonged to one and I am old enough to remember painting strike signs in the early 70s) ... but that is long gone and the inequality between rich & poor is much wider now than it was then. I really don't think there is any taming capitalism.
