    Love the Way Bloomberg phrases the headline

    Wal-Mart Dealt Legal Setbacks on U.S. Workers' Rights (Update3)

    Why not 'Workers Win Legal Victories Against Medieval Walmart's anti life business practices'?

    No, nothing about a victory for workers or the small measure of justice found against Walmart's horrible business practices, though nothing near enough, will ever be reported in the corporate press. No labor point of view is allowed. People might get ideas. People might form unions. Unions might strike. (A national strike would be a darling idea IMO)

    It is strictly people against corporations here in Amerikkka.
    And corporations have complete control of the apparatus of government, through lobbying, media and campaign finance. The men that sold our government to corporations come from both parties, but the republican party has no sense of social responsibility at all. And no belief in common good.

    Corporations, and the republicans they own, including pseudo maverick john McCain, want a federal government that exists only to redistribute wealth to the owner class, and the rest be damned.
