Plutocracy Now: What Wisconsin Is Really About

More information and perspective on the ultimate goal of the current anti-worker, anti-regulatory, pro-business agenda of the GOP and the Democratic political establishment. It's clear that business advocates and their cronies in Congress are serving the financial and powerful elite and do not much care for the concerns of middle-class Americans. This piece by Kevin Drum is historical in nature and traces the roots of the demise of organized labor as a major political force and how the trend has undermined the collective will of the people, and living standards, for the past forty years.
