I have personally seen the ways overtime is maneuvered. Service industry is still paid in pittance with no chance at the gains a union can provide. The working poor are still keeping this oligarchy afloat. Mayhaps my grand neices and nephews can see gains but by then will we have poisoned the world too much for them to enjoy it?

I'm just depressive, your points are well made, but the doom still sits upon my shoulders....
