Dec 2013

Nowhere in this thread did I hear one thing about getting totally behind unions and worker rights.

NOFUCKINGWHERE!!!

If we had collective bargaining we wouldn't need to work so hard for minimum wage.

Next change fiscal policy to push for some nice healthy inflation. Not runaway but gradual. Make those f'ers sitting on their investments in money put it where it can do some good. Make them shelter their holdings in real stuff.

Repeal that f'in Taft-Hartley.
