It is as it always has been...

Those that have, want more. Those that have nothing, want something. It is a class struggle that has been going on forever.

That is why we had the union movement in this country. Labor was not to be valued by those with the capital. It was to be valued by those that possessed the labor.

The class struggle is not exempt from political manipulation. The "haves" have created and nourished a propaganda system that makes people believe that day is night, that wrong is right, and that they have the best interests of labor at heart.

It is they, the "haves", that deserve special treatment from the lawmakers, not the workers. They are the job creators. Capital is superior to labor. They have spent many years and many dollars convincing the American people of that misconception.
