Me @ 23, doing all as you suggest, thinking along similar lines... Diagnosed with a very rare cancer (so rare that stats on survival were... unreliable at the least, 50/50 survival after 5 years was the best guess - try living with that uncertainty everyday) and had my face disfigured a few times over several years. Mental instability followed (as it does in a VERY large portion of serious diseases/incidents) and that careerist path was completely derailed.

So the union is like an agent without the 10% commission but instead union dues. Should I have the right to negotiate my own deal without the union? I would say yes. What would Obama and the Democrats say?
