I addressed this satirically on a friend's blog:

Dear Union Haters,

How exactly does this work; can you explain it please? You union haters are all for Americans pursuing life, liberty, and happiness – also sometimes known as The American Dream – but you whiny critics take issue with people going after these wonderful things via a “group effort.”

Last time we checked, when Wall Street “got drunk” (well said, W, you tool), you guys didn’t demand it be taken apart. And to this day, dozens of U.S. corporations continue to do business with Communist countries like China and douchy leaders like Gaddafi; all in the name of keeping their profits high and their products cheap. But you ass-clowns aren’t ranting and bitching that those companies be dismantled.

So what gives, union haters? What’s with your absolute lack of sense and logic when it comes to attempting to paint unions as The Great Evil within America’s borders? That mantle already belongs to Corporations who avoid paying their taxes…

Not stupid,



Capitalism & Hypocrisy

Dear Capitalism and Hypocrisy,

Stop picking on the Union Haters. We created them to better service you two! You wanna know how we did it? We sold the fools a bill of goods from a fairy tale invented by one of our best propaganda artists named Horatio Alger. He sold all these nitwits on the ridiculous notion that we accumulated all our wealth through hard work instead of theft, graft and corruption! Can you believe that shit? And here’s the best part: we convinced them that THEY could do this themselves if they only pull themselves up by their own bootstraps! THAT’S why this pack of useful idiots hates unions – they’re actually stupid enough to think that looking after the interests of your own class the way we do PREVENTS you from living a better life!

So please, pipe down! Leave these fools to the delusion that if it wasn’t for unions, they would be just as rich as we are.

Yours for maximizing profits,

Bankers, CEOs and other assorted Oligarchs
