Does the U.S.A. need a violent labor movement?
People complain about unions, but they really aren't very powerfull compared to what they used to be. Is there a case to be made that the US needs a violent labor movement to help billionaires understand why they should pay taxes? If they don't want to contribute to society which only allows them to prosper because of the stability in America, should people who lose their jobs to outsourcing, or scabs, or whatever, destroy the machinery of the company and anything they try to import? Would billionaires all the sudden feel like paying taxes equal to the amount of the government resources they use and the benefit they receive from society if they saw the alternative? Other places have had strong and/or violent labor histories and the lives of their citizens are better than in the U.S. overall.
