I agree.
First and foremost is You can't pay taxes if you don't make a living. I don't think Trump cares weather or not you pay union dues, but he definitely wants people to start knowing what it feels like to earn a living. The reason "baseball" is America's past-time is because of one simple precept in my opinion...."You get what you earn and you earn what you get." Baseball is about work ethic and sweat equity. If America gets back to what made our greatest generation so great, then our citizens will have enough income to take care of themselves, and their families' and of course buy an airline ticket for business and/or leisure travel.
I would love to see some current stats on the "labor participation rate" and of those out of work, un-employed, under-employed, or just on welfare....When was the last time they had the money to buy an airline ticket? After you start paying for your needs you can start paying for you wants. I see a robust economy as a benefit to all industries, to include the airline industry.
