Thats fine and I hope you are not working for one a company which has collective bargaining.
Unfortunately I am, and the result is that I'm stuck with the union negotiated agreement rather than being rewarded according to my own performance and worth. An agreement that, of course, does nothing to consider my expectations. In fact it acts against them as, because I am not a member, the union has absolutely no interest in my situation - which would be OK by me, except that they influence my pay packet. I moved on from my previous job precisely because my market value exceeded significantly the salary that several years of union negotiation had forced upon me.

As for Call100's comments, Jaun has it spot on. To quote Thomas Jefferson, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." The malign influence of the Left has to be countered whenever it raises its head, because apathy leads to dictatorship by a self-serving minority.
