78. No, what is being done to strengthen collective bargaining rights, opposing "right to work" laws,
bolstering wages?

I give credit for saving the auto industry but hell if that isn't just bottom barrel sanity. Anybody that wouldn't take the minimal steps taken with serious wage destruction for the surviving employees doesn't deserve to be pissed on should they catch flame.

The Wealth Care and Profit Protection Act is a detriment. The stimulus was too light on infrastructure to give a lift and too heavy on tax cuts to work properly for the rising tide effect, I don't see where the Dodd capitulation is a big boon for labor nor requiring the banks to advise us of our reamings, and then you've got wage freezes for Federal workers and an outright attack on the teacher's union.

These people are asking for attention to their issues not a laundry list of "accomplishments". I don't get this be our foot soldiers and ATM machines but be happy with what we do unconditionally attitude.

Instead of urging our tin ear leaders to get on the stick your lips are poked out at the people. Fucking ass backward.

The party either serves the people or it is obsolete and innately corrupt.
