Why shouldn’t other unions try organizing these workers?<br /> I’ve had the displeasure of working as a representatived when SEIU made a hostile corporate takeover.

The stock market should be closed and brokerage firms put out of business.

Insurance should be offered ONLY by the government, to anyone at fixed rates.

All lending for capital improvements should be government bonds.

Shrink Wall Street until it can be drowned in a bathtub.
