Hundreds packed USW headquarters Feb. 24. 2011, to rally for the middle class and stand up against attacks on workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere. Check out highlights here.
Union wages were not "given" to anyone, they were fought for by your families before you, study Ludlow, Colorado strike to see what the Rockefellers were capable of. What did corps do with defined pension plans, they said "cant afford them" and dumped the burden on taxpayers, while increasing ceo pay. Not afraid anymore, not ashamed to say "yes, this is class war"; it was always about that and will always be about that..usa will be bannana republic if workers dont do national strikes in usa
I know a few top 2%ers. They’ve been laughing it up since GW gave them their nice tax cuts. Didn’t need it. Didn’t ask for it.
Here’s a figure that’ll get you - Over the past 10 years, since the stupid GW tax cuts for the rich, Rush Limaugh’s share has been nearly $20,000,000.00. What was your share?
VOTE IN 2012, FOLKS! Or you can say goodbye to the middle class in this country.
The "let's blame workers and the poor and let them shoulder the burden" game is getting old and people are getting fed up. The real perpetrators get bailouts, bonuses, and tax breaks and the rest of us pay for it.

"Mr. CEO, How Dare you!
How dare you use our backs for generation after generation as your stepping stone to the American dream, but yet criticize me when I go for mine1"
