Power corrupts.

That is the case for corporations, big businesses, and big unions too. None are exempt.

You need competition between labor and business. If it tips in favor of business too much, then abuses can become present. If labor gets too big, the businesses become grossly inefficient and hemorrhage money, thus leading to far fewer jobs.

Mitt's comment was, in short, defag union bosses and trust myself and business to end up looking after the best interests of everyone, which is the point of what I had said.  Aren't union bosses elected by their members?

Anyhow, if power and size corrupts, then what hope is there?  What had happened the past decade is banks merged.  There are now less and less banks than before.  They get "too big to fail" and then push for handouts.  As it is, as population gets larger, the entities that serve the population also get larger.  Throw in globalization, and you get very large scale.  So, what is the choice then?  If there is showing a tendency for executives wanting to merge and reduce numbers out there, then how can things NOT get larger?  Technology is also leading to scaling also, where a small shop has less and less of a chance of making it.  Walmarts take over retail.

So, what is to prevent a dooming of society that has all its organizations all corrupt?
