Here's one of Americas greatest Presidents ever. Ronald Reagan was not only a president, he was Patriotic. He LOVED America and what She stands for. He keep the ecomony runing for another 20 years, before getting to the point where it took a nose-dive. Anyway here's to Reagan.

You can thank him for killing the middle class and beginning the death of the labor unions.

The Labor unions today aren't what they use to be. Since the 70's and 80's the Union went from being a very good organized group to being greedy bastards who don't care about anything. It's because of the Unions that Hostess went bankedrupt. The Hostess owners wanted to let people go in order to stay in bussness. But the Unions were like "Fine we are going on Strike." So of course because people who belong to the union went on strike to keep their jobs, the Union are the reason why hundreds if not thousands of people lost their jobs. I don't care for the Union they are full of evil bastards.

And because labour unions had problems, that means that workers have no right to representation?

Wages in the untied states have stagnated since the nineteen seventies, while corporate profits have grown exponentially and the cost of living has only climbed.

No, hostess went bankrupt because of vulture style capitalism. While the company lost money and the workers gave up more and more benefits the management gave themselves lavish wages to fuck up the company.

Unions are the reason people lost their jobs? What kind of topsy turvy world do you live in?

Hostess was part of the Union. I'm not sure why but the workers who once worked for Hostess were part of the Union. Now like I said Hostess wanted to let people go because the economy delt a heavy blow to their company. Now in a economy where it's hard for companies to make as much money as they did when the economy was good, they have to let people go to stay open. But like I said when Hostess tried to let people go the Unions were all upset about it. So the unions did what they do when the "big bad evil incorperated companies" are being "evil." They went on strike and the people behind the Union told people that unless they go on strike they will lose their jobs. Of course those people who didn't want to lose their jobs went on strike and to make a long story short, they still lost their jobs.

Had the Unions let the CEO of Hostess to let people go, Hostess would still be in busness.

If they wanted to let people go, why did Hostess continue to give large bonuses and golden parachutes to the corporate executives who ran the company to the ground and piled it with debt that they'd never have to pay?

If the economy is bad, why should a CEO make several thousand times what a factory worker does. Because as far as I'm concerned, no corporate suit is several thousand times smarter, prettier or more hard working than his lowest employee.

Corporations aren't evil, they're just amoral and have no concerns beyond making a buck regardless of the cost or sustainability of it.
