Go Wall Street Protesters!!

Why am I in support of the Protesters? Because they stand for me.  We are a product of the middle class disappearing. I am old enough that I saw the better years with unions and decent wages. My own Dad was a WWII veteran without a high school diploma and 6 kids.  Because of unions and the ability to get a construction job, he was able to support his family.  He wasn't afraid of hard work.  He just needed to be able to earn a decent wage and unions enabled that.  Now I have seen the housing bust, etc. that has caused so many people their jobs.  I work with kids whose parents have lost their job and this affects the marriages, etc.  There is no money, yet the 1% have most of the money.  Scary to me.
Let's get our jobs back in the United States and an equitable split of money in the USA.
