Republicans fear the people organized and outraged.

That’s it in a nutshell. The losses to union workers over the past few decades have hurt all of us, not just union workers. Wages have been stagnant, and increases in productivity have not been shared down the SES ladder.

Something tells me that those things are going to change.

They fear retribution in the form of the guillotine. Republicans on the otherhand prefer a slower method for retribution against the working and middle class. Kill them slowly over a period of years and they won’t even realize they have died.</p> Republicans fear the people organized and outraged. They fear retribution in the form of the guillotine.

we have not declined enough yet to realize what michael moore knows.

but we will after we attain third world status

capitalism a love affair that will eliminate the middle class in america

and to think the middle class lined up to vote for dutch reagan fools but only out of ignorance

the great decline started with reagan now his followers continue the quest while the demos hide in fear of the repubs

not one rep senate vote and they cave

why? the demos are paid off also by big corp america

but pretend to represent the voters; con game par excellence.

sign up independent and create an independent party and a voting block like the blacks and the latinos have

A colleague with coal mining connections told me then about Trumka, a coal miner from a coal mining family. He’d graduated from law school. Then he’d gone back down in the mines, intending to become president of the coal miners’ union.

Yes, this gives me hope!

A greener labor movement. A labor movement that can project its power—

And I interpret ‘project its power’ in a positive, life-enhancing sense, like sun after a very long winter.

Heartening.
