A final two panels should have the Captain Industry guy giving himself another raise and a "Meanwhile back in the Halls of Power" panel showing the Hedge Fund popping the champaigne and high-fiving, while plotting the next target. This ain't over ... for Hostess, yes; but there still remains companies in America that actually produce a product, for them to target.

Regarding making Mi. a right to work (for less) state. So i just shared this cartoon on my facebook page. And if you are interested you can call Senator Kahn at this number 1 517 373-1760. Tell him to vote no on the bill. thanks.

When the real problem is greed and utter disregard for the workers, their families, and even the companies these CEO's are supposed to care about.

Plus, we've been fed the "Rugged Individualist" and "Everyone WILL be rich" bullshit our whole lives.

Oh, and our leaders (gov't., corporate, religious) constantly pit us against each other while they steal the silver.
