So would Marx. Go read the Communist Manifesto. It was written in the last “Guilded Age”.

It’s the same reasons that they hated Carter, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Clinton.

Same reasons. Same problems. This is their game. They don’t want any democrat to change the structure that has been lining their pockets for over 40 years. It’s the redistribution of wealth.

Good to see this post, since every time we call something a choice, the Repugs like to focus on “what might have been” on the bad side. Whatever. The right likes to pretend we’re “free” to make the choices they define…and who’s worse at that than bosses?

One quibble–it’s Sheldon AdelSON, not Adelstein. Given how osten-tastelessly wealthy this guy is (fleecing gamblers in China), he can potentially have a far larger effect than someone like Soros–so let’s spell his name right!

Before we start making it easier to join a union we should consider the bad old days when unions wielded more power and were able to win better wages, job stability, better benefits, and better working conditions. Is this what we want to see inflicted on working Americans? Do we seriously want to stop valuing investors over workers? Remember that higher profits are never inflationary but increases in wages always are. I know this because this is what I always here in the media. What’s next? Raising marginal income tax rates? Corporate tax rates? God forbid, capital gains rates? Has no one paused for a moment to think that this will make Charlie Gibson’s head explode? It could even cause George Stephanopoulos to pull his perfectly coifed hair. Are we really ready to risk this? I ask you.

I think ‘they’ want us ‘back’ a bit further … back in, say, “Divine Rights” time, the middle-ages, the dark ages, LS.

But right now, Dickens would find a great deal of the social landscape familiar, no doubt.

Obama was one of the co-sponsors of EFCA last year, and has pledged to sign it into law if he’s elected.

Hopefully he’ll be truer to that “pledge” than his pledge to support blocking FISA.

Someone should tell these Iraqis to stop knock the shit off, stop whining and sit back and relax and enjoy it.
