Someone please look up net worth of Congress by party. And perhaps their background too.

I've seen what the party of labor's done to the laborers in my hometown.

The point is where the parties draw their constituencies, not how much money their elected representatives have or how they got it. Also, we've been down this road a hundred times on this board. The wealth among our congressmen and senators is pretty much equally divided between the two parties. There's really no conclusion to be drawn other than that politics is a very lucrative business.

Now, Cleveland. Don't you think the corporate (Republican) bosses are at least equally to blame for moving their operations, first to cheap "right to work" states (red states) and then to foreign countries? I do.

I think everyone missed a key point in taht article, that the current crop of CEOs never experienced the Great Depression, gives them a whole different outlook on emloyee loyalty and employer loyalty.
