 Just about an hour ago, as I was driving here to this arena, I stopped off at the communications workers of American Union Hall to talk to some of the workers there. And sadly, but this is what they have to do, the workers of Verizon are going out on strike. On strike because Verizon, reflecting what corporate America is doing all over this country, is asking them to pay more for their healthcare and cutting other benefits. Verizon, a very profitable corporation, is outsourcing call service jobs to the Philippines. Verizon is not investing in inner cities in Buffalo, New York. Over the years, Verizon has made billions of dollars in profit, but in a given year has not paid a nickel in taxes. To make billions in profit, to outsource American jobs, to not invest in our communities, to demand that workers get their benefits cut is what the greed of corporate America is all about. We are going to change that.
