in today's economy. The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was passed in 1935 to guarantee the rights of workers to collectively bargain. Are you telling your readers that 80 years after the NLRA was passed that workers are still prevented from exercising those rights?

This is 2015. Surely the huge gulf between the pay of the Capitalists and the pay of the workers has been eliminated by now. Why, back in the 1920's the richest 10% owned about 70% of the nation's assets.

What percentage of the nation's wealth is owned by the top 10% today. What!!! 80% of all financial assets are owned by the top 10%. Where did I read that you ask? In that well known Marxist publication Forbes magazine.

Back to the future we go.
