We need a Eugene Debs

[Taverner]

Someone who will TRULY side with the Unions, instead of just giving pillow talk

Someone who will work for the poorest of us

Someone who's not afraid to call a spade a spade, and not give the same rights we have to corporations

Someone who can be honest with us about how badly we (the middle class) are getting screwed, and then do something about it

5. What about a pro-labor politician who actually was elected. like Robert F. Wagner

More about Robert F. Wagner, who was the main Sponsor of the "Wagner Act" and the Housing Act of 1937:

And lets not forget FDR's Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins:

Debs did a lot, I have to give him that much credit, but the above two did more for the Rights of the Working Class.

The conditions which made Eugene Debs and William Z Foster have returned and so will they, different people but the same necessity.
