Man, thanks but for that to have any effect at all you need to take the audio from the audiobook (torrent) and re-cut it over the images. Let me know when you do.

@MIndMattersMost The option of doing that yourself is open to you.

Ayn would be disgusted with our current situation as well as those policy makers in government, both republican and democrat, who perpetuate our enslavement to the Federal Reserve Bank.

This is a great speech and a terrible reading. This is awful. 

Keep your day job, lympho.

Oh my bad, but it's also partly your bad as well. Under the Wagner act, it's illegal to fire people attempting to form a union.

Here's where it's your bad: you can fire unionized workers the difference is they get a fair trial which doesn't exist in non-unionized workplaces. In a non-unionized workplaces you can basically fire anyone for anything at anytime but magically workers have rights under a union.

@AndroidPolitician I wasn't writing about economics. I was writing about YOU.

"firing an already formal union."

You still don't get it? People that can't add 2+2 certainly can't do calculus, and people that can't grasp the most fundamental logic errors stand no chance at complex theories.

( I even cut you some slack. Unions can NEVER be fired. They don't work for the company. )

Congrats Mr. Lawyer like it makes a difference if a not yet certified group of people get illegally fired for attempting to unionize or firing an already formal union. The chilling effect is still there as are the greater tax cuts for the rich.

@AndroidPolitician *smh* You wrote "A whole lot of money was made in this country by illegally FIRING UNIONS". (emphasis added)

[AndroidPolitician]

@jeffiek

Even if you're using some philosophic definition of "union" where it means unanimous consent, that the fact that people are getting together to make a union is still "attempting to unionize".

[jeffiek]

@AndroidPolitician *smh*

Workers that are attempting to unionize means that there is no union.

You can fire the workers attempting to unionize, but can't fire a union that doesn't exist.

@aLargeTurd, and you write like one.
