This concept is generally referred to as "centralized planning" and is a core component of a socialized economy. I would have never pegged you as a closet socialist.

Well here is what the typical conservative official fears: The VW plant will unionize and soon other automotive plants all over the south will unionize falling like dominos because the employees at other plants will see how good it is at the unionized plant and want it too. Eventually unionized employees will realize their lives are better because of the unions and vote against the conservatives that tried to take their rights to unionize away.

Non answer. How will unionization help the Tennessee economy more than it does now?
Please answer and stop giving us your lazy answer about how conservatives want everybody to be poor.
VW did NOT originally support this, and it is very suspicious that they are now willing to accept it.
You apparently are not going to answer my question, because I'm guessing you can't.
I will try one more time.
If unionization of the VW plant is so good, then why wouldn't Tennessee officials support it?
They obviously feel that it is going to cost the state revenues.
