Mott's workers stand up for America.   "corporation that paid its CEO $6.5 million last year wants its workers pay cuts (averaging about $3,000 per worker), slashed pensions, and hiked employee costs for health care. Why? Because they asserted that Mott's 300 workers were paid more than others in the area and should simply lower their standard of living accordingly...he plant manager called workers "a commodity like soybeans" that can easily be replaced. Take the cuts – or else,  The workers chose "else," going on a strike that's now in its fourth month. This is not just about them, but about what America will be. It's a courageous stand for the middle class and our country's commitment to economic justice."

The GOP: return of the bigoted, Know-Nothing party.

Right wing controlled Koch Industries is a dominant political presence in this country....their corporate tentacles are not only in oil but in derivatives and pharmaceuticals and their insidious role in trying to kill government for the common good and create a permanent modern right wing oligarchy has been reported many times....their hypocrisy is limitless such as applying for federal funds from the health care bill they opposed.

Those excuses that Obama's hands are tied and he can't accomplish the progressive and liberal policies he promised are bunk.


The history of the Washington Monument [which Beck, the modern Know Nothing so ineptly and ineloquently invoked) so bursts the hot air of Beck's ideology. " the private effort to build the monument puttered out, and then was derailed for a long time by cranks with a worldview strikingly similar to Beck & co....[it]was only the government's money and organization that finally made it happen."

Obama sounded like a neocon: the Bush legacy.....what the illegal Iraq war cost and is still costing.


Fed, again, on the wrong track with cheaper money: mergers and acquisitions....bigger corporations and fewer jobs.
