IF Raygun hadn't busted PATCO, who would have been the next FIRST TARGET?



Busting PATCO was the first step in killing the middle class by Raygun himself. PATCO endorsed Reagan to boot. Don't forget Raygun was a former union president.

IF not PATCO, where would he have started?

Other unions that got busted during his 8 years...

Greyhound Bus, Hormel (the Spam) strike,...

Can you name any others?

1. Raygun was informing on his union brothers who were later blacklisted
Raygun is scum, and is without a doubt the worst president of my lifetime. Even Nixon wasn't close to being as bad as Raygun.

3. And now he's burried next to Nancy's teat
If I believed in hell, I imagine he'd be roasting nicely there.

6. He was instrumental in moving union jobs to right to work for less states,
Many of these companies such as Whirlpool (ST. Paul), Diamond Tools, and FMC received large subsidies to move to right to work states. It was straight political payoff.
