An nice editorial by Miles Mogulescu on this week's labor protests in Wisconsin...
"Remember that one of Ronald Reagan's first acts as President was to break the air traffic controllers union. It was one of the first shots across the bow in a 30-year long war by America's corporate oligarchy to transfer wealth from the working and middle classes to the rich and to deregulate the economy in order to increase the wealth and power of the corporate and financial elite."
"The progressive movement, such as there is one, has been directed primarily at electing Democrats who too often disappoint it by deregulating financial markets and passing "free" trade bills that reduce American jobs (Clinton) or appointing the same Wall Street friendly economic advisors who helped create the Great Recession and cutting deals with corporate special interests to pass inadequate health care and financial reforms (Obama)."
