Being Corrupt
Have unions become just as corrupt as big governments and big corporations? What does 21st century organizing look like? The people's needs are the same. If big governments and big corporations are the same, and unions are aligned with these, who truly speaks on behalf of the people and where do we go from here?

Nice article, thanks for the information.
Its not them, its us.

From the article and exactly right
"It's not that our democracy doesn't work; it's that it works only too well. American politics is now hyperresponsive to constituents' interests. And all those interests are dedicated to preserving the past rather than investing for the future."
This article is so on target. For example;
"What we see today is an American economy that has boomed because of policies and developments of the 1950s and '60s: the interstate-highway system, massive funding for science and technology, a public-education system that was the envy of the world and generous immigration policies."
