I'm happy to see Miles that you have the spirit and perspective of your parents and grandparents and ancestors who fought for better working conditions for working people and a more fair and just and equal society. None of us ever crossed a picket line, I'm proud to say, or shirked from paying our fair share whether it be union dues or taxes. It seems more often than not it's those greedy few among the wealthiest who most often do everything in their power and that their money can buy to avoid paying their fair share and to chisel the least among us out of their last dime in order to enrich themselves (best recent example is obviously the Koch brothers). And of course the pitiable working dupes who believe that that kind of selfish behavior among the rich who are that greedy is somehow best for them too (and notice that they never raised the flag of fiscal responsibility when Reagan created the then largest deficit in our history or when Bush/Cheney cut taxes for the wealthiest and then created the biggest deficit in history by fighting two prolonged wars without paying for them, nor gave (or give) credit to Clinton for erasing the historic Reagan deficit and creating a surplus, which proves their outcries have nothing to do with fiscal responsibility but only with maintaining or getting their fellow rightwing ideologues into power).Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-59906877557328425692011-03-09T06:16:03.893-05:002011-03-09T06:16:03.893-05:00Dad and Tom,
I love how this post came to life! ...Dad and Tom,<br /><br />I love how this post came to life! How cool is it that you two share such a powerful history? <br /><br />I'll have to pick up a used copy of the book from Amazon. They have CD's of the songs too.<br /><br />Also, I'm glad I missed the deleted posts. I am blown away by how far people have allowed themselves to be misled. Big private money has more political power than public sector unions. If the unions are diminished, big money will have consolidated its power to a point that will be difficult to remedy. The worst part is that this sham is being sold as an increase in individual freedom when it is just the opposite. I don't know of too many individuals who can compete with the Koch bros.Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-23323393350696407672011-03-08T21:24:05.341-05:002011-03-08T21:24:05.341-05:00Lal:
My deep thanks for the thought and effort you...Lal:<br />My deep thanks for the thought and effort you put into this post. It is one of your best posts and should be read by everyone. I can only imagine the content of the two posts you deleted, but I'll bet they are ironically illustrative of just how much of a threat the IWW philosophy is to the right wing, even today-- literally gets them foaming at the mouth, right?<br /><br />~ WillyAlamedaTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01623796440779934437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-13970793259856793572011-03-08T14:34:26.767-05:002011-03-08T14:34:26.767-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.JImhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795849285955713444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-18497660807196914862011-03-08T13:49:10.535-05:002011-03-08T13:49:10.535-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.JImhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13795849285955713444noreply@blogger.com
