Chris Hayes is terrible this morning...Terribly good!

Terribly AGGRAVATING! My blood pressure ticked up a notch watching the segment on Staples and big box retailers, and the ridiculous lies, hypocrisy and distortions by the Romney surrogate, the former Staples CEO. Then they moved on to the Koch Brothers and Murray Industries strong arming their low-wage employees into giving money to GOP candidates under the implied threat of job loss.

The Republican dystopian vision is very, very real. They talk about creating "good jobs," but good to whom? As one panelist pointed out, after Mr. Staples took offense that low-wage big boxes didn't offer health care coverage; that's a b.s. smokescreen. They OFFER it, but then make sure to schedule all their employees with limited hours so they don't actually qualify. His response was to blame Obama for making life in America so miserable that people were forced to take part time jobs.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

These guys are playing dirty, and they're playing for keeps! We must get everyone out to vote!

there is a gleam in his eye when he talks about the desperation of the workers and the laissez-faire attitude of the government. China is Nirvana for the greedheads, and they long to bring that here.

another the chain store operators were doing when I worked for some of them years ago was to designate as many employees as possible as management, so that they were ineligible or unlikely to join or help organize unions.
