God knows that the Democrats will only say things that tickles the people's ear, like smooth operators, but will kowtow to those who lined their political pockets. Let's finally make a true radical move and show the politicians that we take this anymore. Please join justicedemocrats.com <br />The Democratic Party has shown it's true color in this election with their ties to wall street, the big banks, their refusal to reinstate Glass-Steagal Act, the single-payers plan, etc., etc. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-57010087669660267872017-01-30T08:07:56.512-05:002017-01-30T08:07:56.512-05:00Read the record since Ronald Reagan fired the air ...Read the record since Ronald Reagan fired the air traffic controllers in 1981.

If we had strong unions, those kids you complain all the time about would be dealt with and teachers would regain authority in the classroom.
