Its no secret this nation was built on slavery, in both the cotton and tobacco fields. It allowed wealthy landowners to exploit other humans and also allowed those same landowners, and even founding fathers to treat another human as 'less than'. In a world of mystified conservatives struggling to understand why a worker needs a voice, it can be boiled down to this: Without one, a worker becomes a SLAVE. There is a reason the civil war happened, there is a reason they wrote the 14th amendment. Humans should be treated like Humans.
One more reason, and this is probably the most important, and it deals with the essentials to what WAS known as "The American Dream". It used to be that if you worked hard, you could eventually work your family out of a lower class. In the conservative world dream of tax breaks for corporations, outsourcing labor to increase the bottom line, and demolition of workers rights, you will never be able to work hard enough to achieve the american dream. You will always be a slave.
America has become Facist, and you have the balls to sit there and wonder why? well, its because the voice of the average american has become silent.
If you are still confused ..... ask yourself this question why do corporations need LOBYISTS?
why dont they just shut up, and follow the rules?
I never had anyone explain that to mne

Is this a serious response? Wow. This country is so doomed.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897
