Well, all of their chosen candidates did indeed win. The threatening letter in the pay envelope said "If the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels."

So.....when can the employees expect to get their next raise?


For those of you who may have missed:

2. If some activity is illegal now, the best thing a corporation can do is MAKE IT LEGAL.
Given that our election system is essentially driven on private cash, it seems to give advantage to those who have the most money, corporations and the wealthy individuals who drive them. Throw enough money at the politicians, and you could legalize this activity no problem.
