Without unions to stop them, corporations can continue paying employees pathetically low wages, limit their hours, limit their benefits, leaving the government to foot the bill for low income workers' survival (food stamps, etc).

This is very business friendly, sure, but it's awful for employees, employees who are already getting screwed pretty regularly by the higher ups.

wow, Americans are really living in a Charles Dickens novel, aren't they?

Please.
