Now you have a few very rich old guys (the Koch Brothers come to mind) using their elected tools to once again suppress the Unions.



How did we get here?


How did we allow the Government to once again destroy the lives of working-class America? Reagan used the Sherman Antitrust Act to bust up AT&T 18 years ago, do you think the politicians of today would break up the Koch Brothers or any of the other dozens of corporations that are destroying our lives and do conspire to gain wealth at the expense of the working class?


How did we get here?


How did Democracy become Corptocracy?


How blind our party leaders are. Or are they? Now I understand why they wanted to marginalize Howard Dean. Now I understand how some of the least qualified people in history now run State governments, and now I understand why the odds are stacked against us.


Greed.
