The US worker has never been so marginalized, devalued, diminished or stabbed in the back. One party idolizes the myth of "job creators" and the other parasitizes unions without giving back to them. We need a constitutional amendment ending corporate personhood, which includes eliminating the idea of money as speech that Citizen's United inflicted upon us, like a chancre on democracy.
