Don’t forget that corporations are, legally under the law, people too. More important people. People who can afford to buy politicians. First class people.
There are few SCOTUS decisions that affect workers — maybe 3.They’ve gotten them all wrong.Lilly Ledbetter lost to Goodyear in 2007.

As a result, UA pensioners now get approximately 30% of their planned pension.Now this.All were decided by a conservative majority.Obviously, our courts don’t expect to protect workers.
Not that it’s any comfort, at all, but Justice Gorsuch may be laid directly at the feet of Addison Mitchell McConnell Jr.! He, not Trump, is responsible for Gorsuch!
Gorsuch will be doing the Conservatives work LONG after “Mitch, Mitch, Son of a Gun” is dead and buried. Gorsuch is Mitch McConnell’s Legacy!
There must be a lot of Democrats shaking their head and wondering how did they get so stupid as to ignore and insult the working class, and generally just pander to special interests in the national elections. If they had picked a moderate Democrat in the last Presidential election Trump would just be a memory today.
This is a heavy handed and entirely accurate depiction of Gorsuch: his ruling, his philosophy, his nature, and his future judgments in favor of corporations.
What baffles me about the Trumpies is that they claim to hate “the elites” yet they DEFEND a child-man who was born wearing gold diapers and a minute later had a platinum pacifier!
I see Matt borrowed Thomas Nast’s “the Brains” for his “filthy rich” icon. Nast would be proud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Nast#/media/File:Nast-Boss-Tweed-1871.jpg

And so continues the disenfranchisement (read: screwing) of John Q. Public. We must take matters into our own hands at the ballot box.

I have a few questions. If you’re working class, and you’re a conservative, why?
Do you really hate yourself that much that you’re willing to give everything to the bosses who screw you over?

So sad. What SCOTUS did was read the law passed by Congress and apply it as written.

Republicans stab the working man in the back again.
Why would you vote for people who don’t care about you at all.

Trump is one of those New Yark elite predators that the mid-west people always complain about.
