Unfettered Capitalism...Republican-style...


It's important to remember what lengths capitalists from the Gilded Age would go to in order to break company unions and reduce their workers' wages and safety conditions on the job. Today's newest crop of (and many old guard) Republicans, and sadly,some Democrats too, are all too willing to go back to this criminal mistreatment and exploitation of fellow human beings...

The Homestead Steel Strike...

Simply Disgusting...


Not surprising, but certainly something more in tune with the 1890's than should be tolerated today. This should just serve as a reminder to everyone that large corporations not only do not create jobs (demand for products does that), but risk and throw away working people's lives with impunity...all for the not so mighty dollar.

Delicious...


This is absolutely delicious. I don't think I could even take one... more...bite...While the establishment Republicans have seized control of the House of Representatives and improved their numbers in the Senate, they have done so by bringing members into the fold that disagree with their philosophical approach to spending. What they have essential done is ensure some degree of internecine war for control over the party. Stay tuned...


Would they do the same? I think...no...


Whatever. This is Doyle's last chance to support public employees before he leaves office. Walker and the Republicans want to gut state employee and school funding. Republicans would use scorched earth if they were the outgoing party. Doyle should sign a four year contract with state employees...


Ah, focusing on state job creation...or not...


Great. Nothing better than emulating the regressive, xenophobic Arizona immigration law. Shameful, but this is totally predictable with GOP leadership. I want him to prove that he is an American...

Scott Walker: In the hole on those 250,000 jobs he's promised...


Governor-elect Scott Walker...Not starting off so hot...I guess we wouldn't want to create those high paying jobs in our state. I am sure other states can use them more...
