He taught you to improve yourself?? Well maybe its what the unionizers
fathers in the 20s and 30s taught them too. Maybe its because that got tired
of doing a job no matter how menial or dirty it was while being walked over

because they thought they had a right in sharing some of the wealth the
ceo's were making off there semi slave labor.
