      You do not know this. Maybe for the first 60 years, but times have changed. We are now a bunch of little unions working effectively because treating us like crap, frankly, risks labor organizing on a large scale. Don't let the scab killing days return.

Yes I was in a union and outside the union. Don’t ever let union leaders or celebrities tell you how to vote. You need watch out for yourself. They are watching out for what’s good for them. Was more job creation under Trump because it was cheaper for companies to build here than import. He made so trade deals where being equal between trade partners and US farmers.

      A guy who claims that he's wealthy enough to s't on a gold toilet has nothing of value to offer the average worker. Being a narcissistic conman, Trump has convinced millions of people that he gives a rat's hiney about any of them. He doesn't. He never did. How many small businesses did he bankrupt? How many small businessmen lost everything because Trump refused to pay his bills? It's amazing that so many people have bought into his con. I guess it's easy to manipulate the gullible and delusional cult.
