How did we get to this? How did it happen that American corporate leaders and our elected leaders plot to ignore worker safety? Corporations hire $$$ lawyers and fight regulations that if put in place would protect their workers. Why don't the corporate owners care about their employees health? I heard in one report a worker said that working in some mines was like working in the tailpipe of a city bus. Workers are the backbone of American life. We should NOT have to go to work every day with an ax over the back of our necks.
What in the world is wrong with us American voters? Why have WE elected men and women who are willing to pull this kind of stuff on us? And why do WE keep voting for them even when we have seen what they are up to?
