20. The blame the union

BS has been so completely sold to the American public that a homeless man in Detroit laid part of the blame on them in a video that was posted her a few weeks ago. If greedy unions were the main problem or even a large part of it why didn't the cost of cars go down when the big 3 moved plants to Mexico and started paying people ther 50 cents an hour? The 4th estate have been given estates to protect and they will not ride to our rescue.
