U.S. runs on corporations, unions

In response to “Corporations are not people, too”:

When is Ms. Jensen going to realize that without unions and corporations we would have no economy? Nada, zero. Jobs would not exist at all.

Without her teacher’s union to represent her and her fellow workers, she would not earn enough to buy toilet paper.
People, the United States is broke.

I’d like to hear Obama quote John F. Kennedy when he said “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Benjamin Franklin would be good too. “The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.”

The Supreme Court did what it’s suppose to do.

Ms. Jensen has a warped sense of the government in our country. The house can’t pass anything because the conservatives will not let them pass all that garbage. Those who were bribed should be thrown out of office.
