... Much of the wealth owned by these millionaire senators and their backers came from slave labor. These guys are part of a long tradition of keeping the working poor right where they want them: fighting the battles of the rich, and saying "Yassa, them unions is bad, thank ya massa". These senators are scumbags through and through, who truly hate America. Where was their outrage at the compensation of the bankers they fought so hard to bailout? They were all too eager to hand a trillion dollars to a bunch of crooks who claimed their banks would fail, while shutting down all competition (think it's a mere coincidence Lehman went down, while Paulson's alma mater Goldman Sachs not only survived, but is now using bailout money to gobble up smaller banks?) These are the same fools who allowed B of A to buy a bunch of other banks just a couple of months ago, and now wants to give them taxpayer money, lest they 'fail'.
These people are despicable. Hate unions? Great! Let's bust 'em all, and repeal all the laws which 'tie the hands' of business, especially the child protection act. Just imagine, if we could get all the 13 - 16 year olds to work the assembly lines from dawn to dusk! Boy Shelby and co. would be dancing in the streets, and we could make cars so cheap, even china would buy 'em! Yeehaw!
