It had to be destroyed because it was infiltrating America's unions and would undermine our society. Unable to eradicate organized labor the opposition gave us the bogus "right to work" laws which only works to weaken unions. <br /><br />In the meantime the 1% has gone to those godless communist nations still surviving. Guess where your jobs went America? They went, in large part to a godless communist China. China where there are no labor unions, minimum wage, environmental protection laws, and no constitutional prohibition on slavery. The 1% gets their puppets in Congress and the White House to pass free trade pacts so they can import the cheap crap made in the third world and export more of our jobs. Meanwhile the prices didn't go down because labor costs went down. The greedy rich just made more money.<br /><br />Now comes Ask Bobby trying to sell us the old lies about socialism. If you want to see socialism take a hard look at Bernie Sanders. Socialism isn't godless Ayn Rand's warped philosophy, which is the center piece of current Republican fascism. Socialism is everyone paying their fair share and doing their fair part. It is like a verse from Scripture, 2 Corinthians 8: 13 - 15: <br /><br />"I do not mean that there should be relief for others and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair balance between your present abundance and their need, so that their abundance may be for your need, in order that there may be a fair balance. As it is written,<br /><br /><br />"The one who had much did not have too much,<br /> and the one who had little did not have too little."" <br /><br />If your are a Koch, a Bush, a Romney, a member of the 1%, you have too much. If not, Socialism doesn't want to put pressure on you, it wants to alleviate the suffering unfettered capitalism and greed puts on all of society.Xobekimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973381691719755451noreply@blogger.com
