3. Yes, people are now in a state of shock and awe..

.. due to the economic crisis.

This means that they will be grateful
for anything they get, and will agree
to any working conditions.. including
virtual slavery or indentured servitude.

That was the purpose of all this, that
pretty much started with Reagan.. to
break unions and people in order to
make them tolerate anything that the
rich and powerful do, including breaking
the law, committing fraud, and
redistributing wealth upwards.

4. That is exactly what happened to the Auto Industry.

In order for the Auto Industry to receive a LOAN from the government, they were forced to give up their right to Collective Bargaining.

The Wall Street Bailout with no strings attached is another good example.

In BOTH examples, it was our "representatives" who sold us out.

There were a handful of Democrats who STOOD UP against this outrage.
Learn their names, and support them.
