Working More for Less Than Ever Before
18 January 2013, by Robert ParisWorking More for Less Than Ever Before
In the last week, the government has released reports which show the rate of workers’ wages and the productivity of workers. The numbers could not possibly be more striking. In the last decades not only have workers’ wages stayed flat or started to fall, but employers are getting more and more out of the work that each of us does. It couldn’t be clearer. This is how the rich get richer – they make us do more work for less money.
Up until 1975, (...) -

A History of the Democratic Party – Loyal Defenders of Capitalism, From Slavery to Obama
Introduction
The 2008 national elections are being presented as historic and in some ways they are. The Democratic Party primaries consisted of a contest between an African American and a woman.

18 December 2012, by Robert ParisNo Place is Safe From This Violent Society
Only a few months ago, a 24-year old male shot up a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, killing twelve people and wounding 59. It was hard not be chilled by the thought of how even an innocent trip to the movie theater isn’t safe from the violence of this society.
And now, this past Friday, we have learned that even an elementary school, filled with young kids learning to read and write and cut and paste isn’t safe from this violent (...) -
Super Bowl Sunday: Who’s Playing Who?
12 February 2013, by Robert ParisSuper Bowl Sunday: Who’s Playing Who?
Super Bowl Sunday is a time we get to spend with family and friends whether we like football or not. For some, the Super Bowl is the only football game they’ll watch all year. At work the game is even more exciting when we place bets with our coworkers. And nothing’s better than when we can cheer for our favorite team – even when they lose. The Super Bowl is practically a national holiday.
For the fourth straight year, the Super Bowl reached record (...) -

19 December 2012, by Robert ParisUAW provides Obama a platform for his austerity assault on workers
By Jerry White
President Obama gave a campaign-style speech at a suburban Detroit auto factory Monday afternoon, enlisting the support of the United Auto Workers union for his attack on basic social programs at the heart of the deficit-reduction deal he is negotiating with congressional Republicans.
