people bitch about the unions, because they have forgotten what life was like without them, and how many people fought and died for the right to organize against the evil fascist libertarians.

THIS IS THE WAY THAT THE REPULIPIGS WANT IT BACK

@lakecabs Wealthy extreme right wingers like to exploit Libertarianism because it suits their agenda - weakening labour laws, driving down wages, bringing back child labour, ending safety regulations, all that good stuff we miss from the 19th century.

Some rich folks are prepared to kill you because they STILL don't have enough money. They are still with us today, never forget that.

Libertarians have nothing against unions.

@Artamentous I understand, I'm just sayin' "IN A PERFECT WORLD"...I agree with you totally. I could never understand the word "multi-tasking". To me, that means - Multi-pay also...!

@FYRFOX198 There is no such thing as an honest employer. Your employment is based on his exploitation of your labor power, and the free work you give him. we all know no employer pays you what you do for him.

@MAINEPREPPER Some of them either don't care (thinking it will never happen to it) or downplay it to support their denial.

@MAINEPREPPER Yes. And yet, new labor laws went into effect primarily as a result of this tragedy. What's sad is that we aren't preventative enough.  We have to have a tragedy before making necessary changes - even then, legislators may drag their feet. It's up to us to voice what we need.
