Souder's Betrayal

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

I noticed local Congressman Mark Souder is very concerned about U.S. workers losing their secret ballot if a new ease of forming a union law is enacted. Fat-cat Republicans concerned about union members? Pardon me while I try to control my amusement.As I recall, Mark Souder and his cohorts are from the same party that opened up the China betrayal way back in the '70s when Nixon and Rockefeller went whoring after China business. That set the scene for what has happened to U.S. workers today.

This was only a few years after the China-backed Korean war had murdered men from this country.

The rape of U.S. labor didn't just start. It was the plan for decades primarily pushed by corporate Republicans and weak-kneed Democrats. These are the same hacks that are allowing Intel Corp. to build a $1 billion plant in Vietnam. Peasants to work in it at $2 a day if they are lucky.

Such a deal! These "patriots" voted Vietnam into the World Trade Organization while U.S. workers-turned-soldiers are still unaccounted for from that yet-another-very-profitable war for the rich.

It's no wonder many millions in this country have given up on voting. It's a fixed game.

If voting would change things, they would make it illegal.
