Frank talks about how the unions (in fact, the leadership) keeps backing the Democrats who, in return, give them nothing. Well, this primary season, the major union leaderships chose to back Clinton and not the candidate who is the by far the most pro-union Democratic candidate since at least the late 1960s.

And while he is spot on in everything he says, the elephant in the room..unlimited money in politics..goes unmentioned. Unless and until the Constitution is amended to state that money is not speech, there will be no reason for either of the two parties to change the way they do business. WOLF-PAC.com
