I'm also not for universal health care and socialism. How is it fair representation when our pilot group pays 60% of the dues but only gets 20% representation? Basically what we're saying is that if I'm paying for someone elses lawyer. That's like the gov't taking SS from my check when I'll never get to see it. To me it's not fair by any means for those of us that are footing the bill.
