History,,,,, think about this please

            At the end of the nineteenth century the church (Christianity) was the refuge of  the common man, the poor, the down trodden as that was all there was for support to their lives. The average man was a virtual slave to industry.
            Mining companies maintained towns these companies printed their own money to be spent in supplied stores in these towns with commodities for living, needed by these workers at prices far above what the market would have set. Steel towns were the same.This happened in both the north and the south.
             Men weather they were Black or White stood up to this type of Slavery in the only way they had, they stood up as a group and said stop we are Americans too and own the rights granted to us by this country.
             These Companies were really defacto kingdoms and seeing a revolt of workers (employees ) in some cases brought an armed response. The workers formed (collectives) Unions with legal representation  for mutual protection and a way to fight for them selves both in Court and on the streets   
             Finely after years of battle it was acknowledged that under the law of the land the people of our nation could not be made indentured workers (slaves) ever again.
            However in the last few years Greed has taken the upper hand again. The Church now backs the wealthy as they Profess to be true Christians who would not share the fish or the bread as some how god gave it only to them.
            Much like the companies of old however now our courts have given the rights of the individuals  (people) to entities called Corporations in the premise that these corporations as collectives warrant the same rights individuates.
Some thing else to think on.  Can a union also incorporate?
                   Think about this Please

The death of the US By the New Right

        Collectivism is enemy of the American people so says the tea party; However they are not the first ones to say this.
        In 1958 the John Birch Society ( JBS ) was formed by Robert Welch from Belmont Massachusetts this was with Fred G Koch, (the father of Charles and David Koch)
       This group does not believe in democracy because it is a form of Collectivism where the majority rules, ( in our Society the rights of the individual are preserved  by the laws approved  again by the majority ) our constitution requires that our nation promote the common good of all our citizens (a requirement of law) by this document.
       After a while even William F Buckley denied the JBS,,, as it was leading the nation toward Fascism.
       The parallels between the JBS and the tea party go far beyond coincidences; Charles and David Koch ( pronounced Coke) have managed to supply millions of Dollars to the tea party in fact they can take credit for founding The Tea party. Following the guide lines laid down by their father for the founding of the JBS a generation earlier.
