"The truth is that unions are essentially parasitic organizations that
thrive only by draining and ultimately destroying the companies and
industries they control."

A favorite quotation from the libertarian socialist, Noam Chomsky:

"All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda
system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are
helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and
to consume."

Who stole from your 401K, well, lets look at it. Oh, guess who was
the biggest recipient of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac campaign money,
THE ONE. Wow, was that unexpected. Lets look further, WHo had a gay
lover who was a major official at Fannie Mae when they were lobbying
congress to not do anything about the coming meltdown.......such
suspense, BARNEY FRANK. Gosh this cannot be right. Who go sweetheart
deals from Countrywide mortgage in exchange for allowing them to
continue the mortgage practices the repubs warned us about in 2005,
YES, you guessed wrong, IT was Really CHris, Dodd, Dem, banking and
finance comittee, yes, those very Dems who y'all love so much were on
