It is the lack of union representation on K street that got us where we are. Over the past half century, an important political voice has been effectively removed. Passed legislation hardly ever favors the working man anymore.

Corporations find it worthwhile to employ lobbyists. Workers that complain they are not being equally represented should probably attempt to unionize to have a voice in Washington as well.

I pay weekly to the United Steelworkers.
