"Course, if I know the type of people they are (most of them dishonest up front, but on the off-chance one is legit I'd bet my neighbor's farm he's either on unemployment or guv assistance of one sort or another) they're crying all the way to the bank for hitting up suckers dumb enough to fall for a scam.

Every penny invested in government growth is at least a penny not capable of aiding the country's economic recovery, and the same goes for any monies "invested" in union growth. The unions will simply invest that in buying more candidates, and removes the incentive to produce more (hence, economic growth).
