A response to a ant-union argument.

The Unions are not necessary.  We have laws in place now to protect workers. 

We also used to have strong financial regulations that protected and stabilized our economy.  We had a fair and equitable system in which hard work was rewarded.  That didn't stop the Republicans from tearing down that model, and leading us to this disaster we face today.  Then the Democrats decided if you can't beat them join them.  Now we have a government that works for the best interest of the wealthy elite.  Feeding the people's heads full of empty promises and full out propaganda.

The unions keep wages competitive in both the private and public sector.  They are not the reason that state and local governments are broke.  We need to stop playing into their divide and conquer tactics.  The real crooks are the politicians and their wealthy friends. 

The Koch brothers have invested a whole lot of money into the campaigns of these union busters.  They have even got themselves a supreme court justice or two.  What do the Koch brothers want?  They want the freedom to pollute as much as they want, pay as little as they want, and not have to worry so much about such annoying things as worker safety.  They are true libertarians.  Here's a little insight into the Koch agenda.

What we have in our government now is an official corporate Oligarchy.  Notice that this recession is only really hurting us.  We bailed out Wall Street, and the wealthy are wealthier than ever. 
They owe no loyalty to America.  They only care about money and power.  If they ruin this nation, it doesn't matter they are already investing in the next big super power.  

We need to stop playing their game.  They want us to fight amongst each other.  Attack the unions, the immigrants, the poor, the youth, the liberals, the conservatives....scapegoat after scapegoat. 
The conservative propaganda machine is growing ever stronger with them now having NBC.  

For those who are interested, there is a social media movement brewing.  Come take part in the development of a new era of American progress.  It is time to take back what is rightfully ours.  It is time to put back in place a government that works for the people.
