I Support Unions In America

On Strike? No Foodstamps For You or Your Family

So Wall Street bankrupts us - yet they keep the millions they made. Meanwhile, some politicians are out to make up those losses and balance the budget on the backs of working America and the poor. Worker's rights are being eroded faster than the Rain Forest is being destroyed - and the irony here is that so many workers voted for these clowns. Check out this from Alternet:

    Today is the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire in NYC. I have a story in this experience about it. This is why we have unions - to prevent tragedies like this.

    The Repubs are petty a-holes. I live in one of the "reddest" states in the union and they're always dreaming up crap. I hope their shenanigans cost them next year.

    Again, I hope all this union-busting crap backfires on the republicans in 2012.

    Is there still people working?! I am going on three years and my family and I are almost homeless-but we goto other countries to spend hundreds of millions on bombing and killing!? There is an excellent poem called Whitey on the Moon by Gil Scott Heron-I think about this poem and how it fits in with nowadays and we are still more concerned with shyt thousands of miles away when our troubles go un-thought and uncaring-right underneath our noses-I can look out my street right now and see at least two cars on one block with homeless in them. This country is clueless and better wakeup-why the fukk should we care about another countries unjust when they slowly erode our own rights-and pyss down our backs.
