44. And now, a curious discussion:
Quote
It was a remarkably blunt dumping on the unions. And, in the process, it provided one of the most telling revelations as to how frayed the relationship between Obama and the modern labor movement truly is.
end quote.

If it is a telling revelation, what does it tell us.
It tells us, I think, that the Obama admin favors constituted elites with the power of money readily in their hands.
It favors the power of the corporation over the rights of the citizen.
We talk about the protection of minorities in a republic.
The corporations are one minority we cannot afford to empower or give equal footing with labor in politics.
Labor must be supreme because labor is about the citizenry, not about money.
