I did not say I excuse the Ferrari fund. Far from it. However, it is a consequence of a democratic form of government, in that once the person is voted in there is little redress till the next election.

One of the many defects of representative democracies.

Perhaps there is a better way for a society to be built than having a democracy. However, no one has come up with one.

So maybe people should stop trying to "build" one.

If the unions use force, specifically in the form of government protection, than it is likely not a crime (it is the govt that defines the crime).

It's not "illegal" but it's still criminal. You obviously know what I mean.

Secondly corporations that manipulate prices usually do so with government protection.

You keep bringing this up as if someone disputes it. You won't ever find me defending corporations that co-opt government power.

Unions serve a purpose. The members in the unions choose to stay in the union because it is to their benefit.

But you keep ignoring the fact that something may be to your "benefit" but still cause you harm.
If jackbooted thugs bust down your door and make you choose between a bullet in the leg and a bullet in the face, which do you pick? Choosing the bullet in the leg is most likely to your benefit - given the choices you've been restricted to - but it still harms you. You don't find "value" in it.
