While you're at it ask your corporate boss if you can use his private jet since it is your labor making him wealthy after all. I'm sure he'll be very generous.

I agree that powerful people aren't great but it seems ridiculous to imagine that union bosses are the worst offenders.

Not even close to the same thing. One is you giving someone money to do something and they spend it on themselves, the other is you getting paid from your employer who bought a jet with their return on investment.

I think what makes it uniquely terrible is that it comes from someone who claims to be for the little guy, and reeks of hypocrisy. The capitalist is pretty naked about their intent, etc

I'll take the hypocrite who is acting in my best interest over the openly hostile one who is trying to fuck me over.
