In the 60’s and early 70’s I was a card carrying member of the Longshoremen’s Union. ILWU Local 142. We didn’t cross picket lines. We “Looked for the Union Label”. And we never ate California table grapes.
So, what happened. Why aren’t today’s worker bees up in arms. The fat cat capitalists are even fatter. Worker production is UP. Worker wages are DOWN. My theory: The fat cat capitalists are funding the TeaParty. And the TeaParty has convinced that government is the whole problem. Just free the fats cats from regulations and taxes and all will be peachy. Yeah Right.
Expecting a blood bath in the market tomorrow. If I thought I could pull it off safely – I’d bail out at the open. But, I think I’ll just put my head in the sand for the day.
Notice: I have become one of the fat cat capitalists.
