Labor: history repeats itself

It seems like history is repeating itself.  Here we are, once again, fighting for fair wages, safe working conditions and a right to organize.  Regardless of which candidate wins, the fight against the anti-democratic capitalists continues.  A Romney presidency will only make the fight harder and longer.  When the capitalists can buy the presidency and install their puppet who in turn appoints more conservative justices to the supreme court - I fear for democracy in America.  The Republicans are all in lock-step.  Not one showing the courage to break ranks and speak out against the moneyed interests behind the once and former Grand Old Party.  The future of this country looks to be one divided, once again, between the rich capitalists who own and control everything, and the poor working class.  The middle class as we know it will simply evaporate. Labor needs to regain its voice and its power before its to late.
