Free-market factoid: Right-to-work states win most job growth

The 22 states with right-to-work laws, which protect workers' economic freedoms, enjoyed an average 38.5 percent increase in jobs from 1990 to 2009. States with right-to-work laws experienced more than twice as much job growth as states that force workers to join unions, including Kentucky. --Bureau of Labor Statistics cited in Buckeye Institute's "State of the State" report.

The proper term you should use is "The right to work for less."

That's how so-called right-to-work states drain their states' economies of much needed revenue.

As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist Paper 30:

Money is, with propriety, considered as the vital principle of the body politic; as that which sustains its life and motion, and enables it to perform its most essential functions.

Without the flow of money government is unable to perform its most essential functions.

But that's your agenda anyhow. The ideals and values of our founders are anathema to your feudalist agenda.
