FU Romney this is why you didn't win.

This time, but while you were distracted with all the presidential hoopla, they've been creeping into state governments.
Workers at the TN VW plant wanted to organize a vote of workers for or against a union. VW said OK and stood back as they are used to dealing with unions, Germany has the strongest.
But Grover Norquist and the Republican politicians he owns, wouldn't stand for it. The Republican legislators threatened to withhold insentives they had promised VW to build in TN. Sen Corker said if the union was voted down, VW would bring SUV production to that plant. That was a complete lie, which VW refuted right away, but hey, who reads retractions.

They can't lose. Unbridled Capitalism is designed to keep the wealthy rich and everyone else scrambling to survive. Part of that design is a tiny middle class of managers(toadies) of the wealthy. It's always been that way since the industrial lords wrested power from the landowner lords, at the beginning of the industrial revolution..
That was understood until FDR upset their applecart, the WWII boom redistributed power and the people seized the chance to float all boats by labor unions and making politicians at least pretend to care about people.
Carter deregulates everything, the fat-dumb+happy don't notice, the GOP says unions/niggers/hippies are the problem, and the greed goes into overdrive. Remember the "corporate raiders", "hostile takeovers", and "activist shareholders", that made headlines and sent some to jail?
Now the same shit goes unnoticed or is applauded as something to aspire to.

Thank goodness the government has been castrated by Koch & friends with their tea-party supporters, so the 1% are in heaven, and all's right with the world.
