97 years ago. A lot can happen in that time, yes? Unions finally getting some decent wage and safety laws going, public education, health care, pensions... Then people got complacent, and the Anti-Worker Greed Heads take back power, just enough to put us back almost to 1914. They say "Oh, but the Unions are Corrupt, everybody knows that! Look at all the RICO complaints the FBI investigates." Yeah, sure. Anybody can file a RICO complaint and the FBI would be compelled to investigate it, even if they notice it's Bullshit after the first phone call to the complainant. So there are Corporate Lawyers, the ones who will clean the latrines in Hell, who make more money in a week than a worker makes in a year just filing RICO complaints. Talk about your Frivolous Lawsuits. Why don't the Tort Reform Activists get on THEIR ass? Ouch... That's Right, I almost forget, it's because THEY'RE THE SAME GOD-DAMN PEOPLE! The "Right To Work Law" advocates who tell us that if we just let Reagan be Reagan, take the "handcuffs" off of the Free Market and the Corporate Big Pigs will make sure that the workers will be well taken care of. Nothing to see her, citizen, all is well, The Smart People are taking care of everything, nothing to see, all is Hell.... And those Maxim belt fed water cooled machine guns pointed at you are strictly for your own protection. John D Rockefeller ordered the 39 murders, including the thirteen kids. And got rewarded by a shitload of extra Government Contracts and his son Nelson made Vice President of the United States. And probably had, like George W, the Colorado Springs "christian" Schools giving him awards for being such a fine, upstanding, noble and brave christian babykiller. No, I don't have any respect for anything a babykiller like any one of the Rockefellers do or stand for. No matter how many "charitable" acts like building a Concert Hall at Public Expense for the enjoyment of their fellow Rich Bitches. Oh, you don't think so? Every act of "charity" the Rockefellers do, is taken off their taxes so it's really the U.S. Taxpayers who made the contributions and the Rockefellers, Bushes, Cheneys, Steve Bachs, etc... who get the credit for being such Brave and Noble Christians. And use publicly funded resources like the Colorado National Guard to murder the workers who feed them, with belt fed water cooled Maxim machine guns. At public expense, just in case anybody didn't catch that the first few times around. God-damn hypocritical sons of a whore and a goat. And anybody who Looks up to them? Hey, CSCS, HOW LOW-DOWN FILTHY STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO LOOK UP TO MURDERING POND-SCUM LIKE THAT? Some of the same TeaTards who were giving Bush the "Lyin' Ass" award actually voted for Nelson Rockefeller to have a second term, after Nixon and Agnew gave him and Ford the highest offices in the land, then Ford pardoned the subhuman freak who gave him the job and claimed

A union worker, a citizen and a CEO …
Via UNAC's Ward Reilly: A unionized public employee, an ill-informed citizen, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the ill-informed citizen and says, "Watch out for that union guy. He wants a piece of your cookie."
The Indiana State Legislature is following Wisconsin’s lead.
The R's pushing Union-busting and the D's walking out. Yowza. Our Democratic "Socialist" Governor, Hickenlooper, is looking at cutting public school K-12 budgets. BUT.... Nobody's talking about the R.T. phrase. As in, Really and Truly pay the damn bills. Industry makes beaucoup bux off having educated workers and public transportation and the niceties of a civilized society being available to everybody. Especially the workers who ultimately pay the highest tax, it's called Corporate Profit Margins and it's exacted on us without representation. No Official representation, that is, we still have plenty of police protection from the onerous task of Freedom, actually being allowed to pool our resources, our lives and our labor in collective bargaining in order to assure us an equitable wage, one that allows us to be paid at least what it costs US to produce our labor for the profit of the Rich. In Texas it's already illegal. We have to sacrifice OUR quality of life, OUR retirement, OUR health care and that of our children and grandchildren for generations to come, or so the Tea Party Anti Tax Crusaders tell us. Insuring continued profits for the Parasite Class on the backs of the Working Class, as always. The mill-workers backside fits the office chair far better than the mill-owners hand fits the shovel.
