Worked good too. They were called American trade unions. Steel workers. Auto workers. Ever hear of them?

Did you support them when you had the chance? So the next generation of Americans had something better to look forward to than going off to war to die in some stinking fucking hell hole fighting to protect some thuggish dictator on the other side of the world?

No UNIONS!
Not even the Union of the United States. The president is no longer able to give a State of the Union address. <sarcasm>
