Well at least the union members report to work and do something every now and again. A shareholder does little more than sit on his lazy ass and collect a check. I should know, I have investments too. But, I don't live under the deluded assumption that anyone owes me anything because of it.
Sorry, but that's how I see it. Welfare recipients shouldn't bitch. Everything they get is free money.
