J.D. Rockefeller would be so proud.

The more things change, the more union busting and oppression of the 99% stays the same. But we're the ones who've been waging classfare? How come all the casualties have been on our side then?

1. P.S. Both the shooters and the killed are the 99%. No casualites in the 1%.

2. I'm sure the miners were making unreasonable "demands".

NOT!

Can you even imagine the working conditions and pay? If they are on strike I feel certain it is for very good reason. I also noticed ALL the miners were black while all the police were white. Good ol' South Africa (by any other name).
