Unions have not single-handedly destroyed anything (let's talk frankly about the utterly incompetent and terrible management of some of the automobile companies that lead them to the brink far beyond any union pensions they gave to their employees). Let alone the public school system (witness the destruction of "no child left behind" and lack of funding). That's absurd hyperbole to blame the unions for corporate malfeasance. But it is exactly what the GOP wants you to think.

"Sure, we brought the US to the very brink of economic disaster with our Wall Street buddies but ... it was the unions fault! It was the Democrats fault! We are awesome business managers! In fact, what we need is even less regulation, and even less accountability! Then give us what little you have left, Social Security and Medicare, and let us manage that for you, too!" - the Republican Party, speaking for their corporate owners.
