1. Which is why...

50 years of gradual disintegration of unions has been so good for the disparity of wealth, the inability of wages to keep up with inflation, and then inevitable collapse of the economy.

[Xipe Totec]

2. Quite honestly, she's full of shit n/t

[JDPriestly]

3. Then how does he explain why the economy has declined

since Reagan started the assault on unions? Let's remember the whole "free trade" movement that Reagan began was an attack on unions. Unions supported Clinton, but Clinton expanded "free trade" which resulted in weaker unions and fewer jobs for Americans.

Obama does not seem to be doing a thing with regard to helping working people.

4. So she wants out of her union?

[Kingofalldems]

5. Who is this person?

[PVnRT]

6. Who is this douchenugget again?

[Political Heretic]

7. She's not an idiot, she's a knowing shill for a wealthy minority

[AndrewP]

8. Bingo

[lib_wit_it]

15. I'd like to get a job as a Rethug schill just long enough to put aside a little dough. Then I'd

make it known that everything I'd said was total corporate-sponsored bs.

Does that make me a bad person?

[guitar man]

9. maybe if she actually had to work for a living

instead of sitting around spewing bullshit she might get a clue :grr:

[Orsino]

10. Wonder how all the little people behind the camera felt about that? n/t

[Vinca]

11. I can't stand that woman. She tries to pawn herself off as an independent,

but she's never, ever, ever on the liberal side of anything. I don't think I've even heard anything terribly moderate out of her.

[burning rain]

12. She's with the Independent Women's Forum--a known conservative outfit.

She's clearly a fellow traveller who's hopped off the train early.

[Omaha Steve]

13. Kick

[malaise]

14. Michelle Bernard is a complete idiot

Her parents are Jamaican and her ignorance about Jamaica is breath-taking. By the way she's a well known Rethug. Put her on the ignore list.
