As I said I don't care what your reasons are for not participating in the MOU. If you don't want to talk about it say so. I personally have never asked if someone contributes or not. The only thing I really care about is the integrity of the union.
Also FWIW when someone says the can't afford to contribute, then starts talking about the airplane, boat, or vacation house it is pretty easy to tell they are self absorbed.
