Is there no end to this insanity? Not satisfied with new laws allowing corporations to donate all they want to political campaigns, Republicans in Washington now want to ban labor unions from making similar donations. Beautiful! The land of the free and home of the brave--where management can influence political decisions but not labor. Why don't we dissolve Congress, turn the nation over to the CEOs of the giant corporations and be done with it?
And the truly sickening thing is that bullshit propaganda from the NRA, Tea Parties, and the Religious Right has American workers supporting the lawmakers that are screwing them.
What's happened to this country? Is blue-collar America really willing to accept lower wages and benefits in exchange for the right to buy a machine gun at the nearest 7-11 or have its children sing "Jesus Loves Me" in civics class?
The men who fought and died for the labor movement in this country have got to be spinning.
