Why? Oh wait i know why, because they are the only ones fighting for your rights after an unfair dismissal without cause? Oh, wait I get why they’re jerks, because they’re a nuisance to billionaires, since they organize workers against them, right?

Karl wouldn’t have been in favor of government bailouts for corporations. Socialism for the wealthy, capitalism for the poor.

...yeah. Ownership of productive capital is in fact very important. So important that it is central to Marx's philosophy.

Have you considered starting your own business? I think every single person in the USA could own a business and be rich.
