Their goal is to destroy government and unions, because government and unions are the only counter-balance against them to protect the middle class. Look at the 50s, 60s and 70s when Democrats controlled our government, before Reagan. We had protective trade policies that stopped our jobs from going overseas.

A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
