28. Are you old enough to remember the way unions abandoned Carter |

for Reagan? That is when we should have stopped it but we did not and anyone who thinks it cannot get worse under a rethug should not only read The Shock Doctrine but talk to any of the union activists around the world who may have survived the torture, prison camps and disappearing that was so popular back then and right up to this day. A hell that was supported by the US government, IMF, the World Bank and most of all the trickle down theory of economics sold to us by the University of Chicago and Milton Friedman.
This is not just about jobs. The right is out to destroy the government and labor unions entirely while they privatize everything and create a class of throw away people in the place of the middle class.
I support the union but not when they abandon people like me to the whims of people like Paul Ryan. If you choose another rethug puppet like raygun or booosh then we are through as a nation. You will be voting for pure corporatism and you will be it's enemy.
