Republican lie and water continues to be wet
- Raising taxes on wealthiest 1% will not hurt the jobs market for regular people, only day traders.
- Environmental protections are job creators.
- Outsourcing is bad for everyone but the outsourcer.
- Tax havens are bad for everyone but the tax cheat.
- The wealthy have institutionalized low taxes for themselves.
- Citizens United is a crime against humanity.
- Unions are the firewall that protects us from slavery.
- It's war or universal health care. Take your pick.
- Washington Lobbyists are the enemies of the state.
- Commodities traders have no function but to raise commodities prices for their profit.
- The Banks and Wall street tell Washington how high to jump.
- Guns, Gays, and God, are useful tools of the hate party.
- etc.

2. I'm glad you see the difference
Slaves have to be housed and fed; non-union workers don't.

3. Yes.
Unions support laws to try to prevent the use of prison labor, and keep out goods made by factory camps in free trade zones, so yes they are trying to protect us against slave labor being used, even if we are not the slaves.

4. Maybe not slaves, but indentured servants certainly.
