...economic slavery?
ON THIS DAY
On Jan. 31, 1865, the House of Representatives passed a constitutional amendment to abolish slavery.
Corporations with the help of the current republican administration are stealing our benefits, plundering social security, busting organized labor, cutting hours, out-sourcing jobs to overseas countries, stealing vacation time stealing overtime pay and pressuring congress to roll back minimum wage levels. We have a new slave system in America which makes everyone an economic slave to big corporations and huge financial institutions.
