On Labor Day: Despite what the History Channel Says, John D. Rockefeller did NOT build America!

[Drahthaardogs]

He was a thug who practiced modern day slave tactics such as paying in scrip and company stores. He also refused to pay miners for "dead work", ie. stabilizing the mine shaft. He killed women and children. The miners finally took what was their back from the pig.

Make no mistake, it was the irish, polish, czech, mexicans, and italian immigrants that built America. They mined the coal, smleted the iron, and worked the bricks and stone. Remember them on Labor Day and if you can, join a UNION!
