We have lost our way.
The "giant sucking sound" (thank you Ross Perrot for that) of jobs leaving the U.S. (high paid Union jobs) have caused middle class union families to fall from 30% membership to less than 10%. Reagan, greed (think Romney and Bain Holding liquidating U.S. companies), Norquist, Gingrich, Koch Bros., DeVoss family, and entire GOP from Santorum to Ryan and all in between. They are all the same. As Carlin said: "We know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for you. And now they're coming for your Social Security. And they'll get it too, and give it to their rich, criminal friends on Wall Street." Google Carlin's American Dream." Laser sharp and prophetic (sadly). I truly hate these MF'ers.

No, WE have NOT lost our way.
We are good, honest, strong and solid.
I agree completely with your post.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
