I don't get it. Every time the idea of taxing the rich to pay for health care comes up, we hear the same old bromide about how that would be bad for the economy. At least half the people I know have had pay cuts, or unpaid furloughs or wage freezes. I haven't heard one comments from any politician about how that's bad for the economy.

Corzine has been a big disappointment but I know Right wing Christie would
be way worse for working people. I was depressed until I heard Christie's primary radio ads.

I listened to several of Barack Obama's speeches lately and he said some something like "power will not concede" and we can't let up and we have to continue to struggle. I'm sure he's making a reference to a quote from Frederick Douglas that has been an inspiration to me my whole working life at a union organizer. "... Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will..."

Union members from NY and NJ join with PA union members to visit union households in PA to urge bother and sister union members and their families to vote for Obama. It was tough going until this weekend.
