Bonfire, certainly private sector union money is huge and influential as well. Yes, the unions helped improve the lives of the masses of members. Yes, public and private unions bring the weak up and the strong down.
I am for smaller federal government. I wish to bring much of the taxation and decision making back to the states, counties, cities and school districts. The closer to home the better.
The federal government role has risen dramatically in my lifetime. Sadly, we are not better off. Just one example and I must go for now. The well meaning Great Society program of LBJ intended to give poor, underprivileged black people a way to improve their lives and lot in life. Since then the gov't has become the gift horse and a great many blacks are now enslaved to the public for subsistence. I contend that self-esteem and purpose have been lost by a great many able bodied people. Sadly, public money also led the poor away from a traditional family structure. In my youth their were moms, and dads, for the poor kids. Now poor moms carry on alone in most cases.
One more thing, the progressive/socialist/communists among us are working to enslave all of us. We now have doubled the number of people on food stamp programs, etc. Many out of work people make more on welfare than they could initially by working. That is a disincentive. That fosters failure and loss of respect for oneself. I am all for helping the helpless, but not the lazy.
