A union worker, a non-union worker and a billionaire corporate CEO sat down at a

bargaining table with a dozen cookies on it.

The CEO immediately grabbed eleven of the cookies and then leaned over to the non-union guy and warned: "You'd better watch that union SOB or he'll steal part of your cookie!"

An old tale, but worth re-telling.

The good stuff starts at about 45 seconds. It's stunning.

Never get enough..
I say tax them to death. Take the excess wealth away from them they don't deserve it.. They see cheating on thier taxes as a game or sport. Time for that game to end. Time for the rich to pony up thier portion.

When and why in the fuck did this race to the bottom Republicanism country abandon FDR Policies that made the United States the greatest country on the planet?

The Democratic Party needs to keep repeating and pushing FDR Policies all the time, while reminding the American People that the good old days Republicans keep wanting were because of FDR Policies in the United States. Keep beating the Republican Party to death with the damn truth!
