(10,794 posts)Ok.
I admit it.
I'm old enough to remember when...
Hillary's list would have been typical for Republicans
and Bernie's list would have been typical for Democrats.
Of course, I also remember the words to the "Look For The Union Label" song!
Sigh..............

(10,794 posts)Thanks for sharing it.
I can't believe America let unions dwindle so easily.
I always thank Reagan and his response to the air controllers strike for the start of the death to unions period.
Am I wrong?
And, yes, I realize unions became full of corruption in many areas too. But having lived though it all, I guess the lesson learned is that ANY 'system' can become corrupt where you have mounds of money and mankind involved. It was still our government's job to do something about it --and not line their own pockets with payoffs and bribes. All of our major problems today seem to be related to a government that refuses to do it's job of representing US!
I don't have a date for this article but it's a really good one:

Yep. Thank you Reagan. Just the beginning of the end in so very many ways. It's truly sad.

(592 posts)You will find not much changed for HRC, but a bit has changed for Bernie. He is not accepting PAC money, even from Unions.
