In 2009, public employee Joe Wisniowski made $40,000/year as an Airport Equipment Operator for an Ohio airport while Wall Street raked in $20.3 BILLION in bonuses. Joe’s story highlights the need for you to help us STOP THE LIES!

Don’t let Wall Street destroy the backbone of America. Meet the Public Service workers whose sweat and hard work help our communities. Watch our latest video now!

2. Excellent video!
Conservatives supported by an acquiescent Obama are conducting an experiment in extremist free-market economics on the American people.

It should be clear by now that the experiment has failed.

If Obama and the media were doing their jobs, they would expose what is going.

By their fruits, ye shall know them.

The fruits of the preachers of the gospel of free markets without control, is the impoverishment of our country. It's time to tell the free-marketers that they must end their experiment. The patient, our national economy, is dying.

If we are to resuscitate our economy, we must adopt a rational economic policy that puts people back to worth and pays each person a living wage.

Cutting the number of hours a person may work before receiving overtime would help not only our economy but American families. It would also make us far more competitive as workers would not be exhausted by the long hours they work in so many jobs.

We can do better.
