So I assume you have the same distaste for public companies as you do for unions. I mean when a company lobbies in Washington, they are speaking for every shareholder.
They also don't "have to pay". They aren't held at gunpoint to take a job and join the union. They are also given a right to vote for their union leaders.
If you're saying no one should pay in anything unless they have complete control of where that money goes to would basically discount our entire government which is built on that premise.
