How disappointing it was to see our Democrat-controlled Senate side with the corporate interests of the United States in the recent squelching of the Railway Workers’ Union bid for justice through the use of the only tool at its disposal, a strike. 

In my opinion, this is only the latest example of how no matter what political party is in control of our legislative processes, they are all “in bed” with corporate interests. And why would it be any different, in light of the facts that many, if not most, politicians move from their political perch to a corporate one soon after they leave politics? Too bad.
