The last paragraph of the column is worth including here:

"On Monday, the Fourth of July, Americans will gather to celebrate the overthrow of tyranny. But the ease with which we allow corporate employers to impoverish their loyal workers should make us pause under the fireworks and think about how over the ensuing 235 years we've simply substituted one set of tyrants for another, the new ones immeasurably more heartless and bloodthirsty than the ones we shed."

That quote is morbidly heartening. I never thought such a thing would be written in an American newspaper.

I just finished reading the article smc. The comments at the bottom are golden. BMW lays off thousands of workers and the posters at the bottom of the page blame the union! It always amazes me. I wonder how they would feel if they had been the ones laid off, with a family to feed and health conditions to manage on top. It's absurd and disgusting.

I have never understood people's desire to harm others economically, to bring people down and then revel in it. Perhaps it is an American phenomenon to desire the destitution of your fellow man.
