You can't do this, we made a deal!

In a way, I am having a kind of moral catch 22.  I agree whole-heartedly with the idea of a pro-union, Democratic political economy, but I completely disagree with the racial bias that it posed to African Americans.  If it weren't for that critical flaw, in my opinion it would've worked.  However, the downfall of the bargaining power of the proletariate was a true tragedy, a triple blow; Taft-Hartley, Landrum-Griffin, Ronald Reagan.  It is truly a sad day when we elect people to serve us by our word, who then turn on us and strip us of our rights to collectively bargain for our rights as workers in the United States.
