People are tired of the corporate owned politicians allowing companies to run roughshod over the laws, morals & expectations of society.
This is expressed in many ways, from xenophobia to the rise of Bernie Sanders & Donald Trump. People don't want another corporate owned shill like either of the Clintons, both Bushes, and Obama, and I'd wager that Obama knew this in 2008, hence why he made sure his moderately grassroots organization was put out to pasture safely.
We need to stop the union busting, bring back workers rights, prosecute Walmart & T-Mobile for their union response teams (where most potentially "infected" employees are fired), and fight for a better future.
I think we should open our borders, but when it comes to employment we should strive to avoid what has happened in Canada, where low cost workers from overseas work at every single Tim Hortons.
- sanswork 9y agoIf they didn't want a corporate owned shill why did they elect a corporate shill? >where low cost workers from overseas work at every single Tim Hortons. This isn't reality I think you need to check your information sources.
- JetSpiegel 9y agoTrump shills for himself, while the others are much more nebulous.
- pimmen89 9y agoWe have to take it on faith because we have no tax returns to check who he owns money too.
- empressplay 9y agoThe Canadian government has since cracked down on handing out visas for fast food workers, but in 2014 it was a big deal http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Hortons+McDonald+face+criticism+over+foreign+worker+program/9768838/story.html http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Hortons+McDonald+face+criti...
- bmon 9y agoThis is satire right? I'm struggling to see how obama rates as corporate shill while trump is somehow an angel...
- LukaEn 9y agoPeople may view them as such. Trump fans seem to think of him as a anti establishment figure.
- posguy 9y agoTrump is no angel, and I sincerely hope you did not take my comment that way. I hate Trump, he is a myopic, self-centered late stage capitalist that can't handle basic logic. That being said Obama was no angel, TPP, SOPA & PIPA were all corporatist bills he fought for alongside Keystone XL, and he was happy to feed the military industrial complex while warmongering overseas while letting the drug wars continue in the US. Why waste our resources on stupid wars and bad policies that most Americans dislike?
