If everyone could reape the benefits but don't pay there would be no unions.

Did your wife also try to skip paying taxes? Do you have "no problems with taxes as long as they're not mandatory"?

Right to work states exist for this reason, and they do fine. Unions in a right to work state are not mandatory.
