Why stop at health insurance? If a business owner has enough money to pay for the workers' food and clothes, and he chooses not to, should he also “die a fiery death”? What makes health insurance the specific responsibility of an employer?

What about life insurance? Housing? It is conceivable, for instance, that Donald Trump has enough money to buy each of his employees a great life insurance policy as well as a huge house. Regardless of whether he does these things (I'm pretty sure he doesn't), should he die if he chooses not to?

You claim that you only read this website “for laughs,” and yet you display no indication that you read anything else for intellectual purposes, judging by your ignorance of what unions are, how they operate, and why people are upset about ACORN in light of that group's sordid background.

But why stop there? Why not take this logic even further? Why should we have a choice as to what food we eat, what clothes we wear, or what neighborhood we live in? Why shouldn't we have a “bargaining” rep to protect us from the evil food vendor, the malicious clothing salesman, and the greedy real estate speculator?

What about marriage? There are those who have trouble initiating sexual relationships with others, so maybe we could all be assigned (against our will, of course) a union rep who will bargain for sex and marriage with others (who will be forced to comply, as per union-style “bargaining”).

This neat dichotomy is not specific to the labor Left. The same type of paranoid conspiracism can be found in Nazism (Aryans vs Jews), radical feminism (woman vs men), radical race theory (minorities vs whites), etc.
