We’re a country that seems to think it’s awarding productivity if an executive at a company losing profits gives himself a a nice raise but if fast food workers want to be paid well enough to pay the bills then they’re greedy moochers. I don’t understand the world sometimes.

When investors organize and combine their interests to maximize the benefits from their investments and form a corporation, that is praised as the very heart and soul of capitalism.

When workers organize to maximize their bargaining power for pay and benefits from a corporation, that is derided as union thuggery.

Go figure.
