<<How do you feel about the sweat shops of the early 1900's when they worked 8 year old kids 12 hours a day for pennies (read Charels Dickens)?; or chain gangs in the south for 50 years after the civil war where false charges were brought against blacks and then their labor was sold to plantations (almost alldied within 10 years); or the complete subjagation of workers by the "steel" and other large corporate monopolies in the early 1900's.>> Nearly all of that is happening right now in China and then they rig the currency and poison our food to boot. koan: You did not answer the above question. You switched it. What does China have to do with my question? The truth is that it was the unions that brought an end to the abuses of the large "robber barons" of the early 1900's. You need to read some history.
