Hmph. I guess when Scott Walker broke the unions they got shoved off the list to be replaced by "real working Americans".

We can not ignore that there has been mob involvement and graft involving unions, but they are the rarer exceptions. Repukes and the media would have everyone believe that it is the norm.
