re: #70 Rightwingconspirator

Unions would sometimes have the advantage over taxpayers, as the public sector unions have a stronger bargaining position than the taxpayers do. Where unions are able to negotiate pensions that can be way beyond public sector pensions, taxpayers can be asked to fill in the difference.

Unions can sometimes garner excessive influence with the candidates they support with campaign contributions. That can be in principle like energy and GOP candidates. An imbalance of influence.

How would this kind of imbalance best be addressed fairly?

And corporations can sometimes garner excessive influence with the candidate they support with campaign contributions.

What are we doing to stop them from doing this?
