   If you want to more outrageous examples of the greed that is taking over America, check out a website called “Too Much”. CEOs’ inflated egos are like a two year old brat who is never satisfied with the millions they have, they want “more, more, more!” and believe that they are not paid enough…..That is what we are dealing with, brats in expensive suits….

      Of course the ruling class is using bailout money to lobby Congress and fund anti-union tanks. Why would you expect otherwise from the political donor class? For every dollar shoved into a Congress cretin’s hands, it it rewarded a thousand fold. What else would you think the greedy classes to do?

         They may be forbidden, but it used to be forbidden for blacks to ride in the front of the bus, or for women to vote too. Power doesn’t come from some higher “granting” authority. It was illegal for the UE workers to take over Republic Windows factory, but they did it. and they didn’t get arrested because THEY held the power – not the police, not the State, and most certainly not the company.

         They can’t fire everybody.

   So how about a general strike (national)? Bring down the whole country for about a week….

      Sympathy strikes are forbidden. See Taft-Hartley Act, the one that president Truman called “an act to re-enslave workers,” although he wasn’t reluctant to use it after Congress overrode his veto.

   Is the Chamber of Commerce Using Bailout Money to Attack Workers?

   2 + 2 = 4. So, what do these two excepts add up to?

   Monday’s Wall Street Journal reports:

   http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123957945300612075.html?mg=com-wsj

   The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is launching a $1 million television advertising campaign that takes a new line of attack against the Employee Free Choice Act…The new Chamber ads will hit the airwaves in Nebraska, Virginia, Louisiana, North Dakota and Colorado — states whose senators could be swing votes on the issue.

   In January, The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein broke this news:

   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/27/bank-of-america-hosted-an_n_161248.html

   Three days after receiving $25 billion in federal bailout funds, Bank of America Corp. hosted a conference call with conservative activists and business officials to organize opposition to the U.S. labor community’s top legislative priority.

   Participants on the October 17 call — including at least one representative from another bailout recipient, AIG — were urged to persuade their clients to send “large contributions” to groups working against the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), as well as to vulnerable Senate Republicans, who could help block passage of the bill.

   There’s a natural question for taxpayers to ask: Is the Chamber of Commerce using bailout money to attack workers?

   There are two things you can do right now to take action:

   1) Join the Facebook group: “Petition: Chamber of Commerce Shouldn’t Use Bailout Money to Attack Workers.” (If not on Facebook, sign the petition Below)

   2) Email top Chamber execs. Ask them if the Chamber is rejecting money from bailout recipients so that taxpayer funds aren’t used on these ads.

   As ‘Secret Ballot’ Myth Sputters, Chamber Launches New Anti-Union Attack Line

   http://www.huffingtonpost.com/art-levine/after-secret-ballot-myth_b_186073.html

   It’s happening again. Another big corporation looking out for executives and big investors at the expense of workers.

   AT&T made $12.9 billion in profits in 2008 and is on track this year for solid earnings, top executives say. Yet AT&T wants to cut quality jobs and benefits for employees.
