    JM> Does the name Stephen Lerner ring a bell?  He is a former   
    JM> union goon .. a top   
      
    JM> of his administration.  You might remember him for making   
    JM> news last year when he advocated the crashing of the stock   
    JM> market by going on a "mortgage strike."   
      
    Doesn't sound like a bad idea.   
      
    JM> Anyway, this Obama purple-shirted SEIU union goon is at it   
    JM> again.  In a recent Occupy rally, he revealed the true   
    JM> nature of the union movement.   
      
    JM>     "I think there's never been a more exciting time in my   
    JM>     30 years of organizing to imagine building the kind of   
    JM>     movement that can transform the country, that can   
    JM>     really talk about redistributing wealth and power."   
      
    Since the union represents people who work and produce goods and   
    services, I see no problem with that.   
      
    JM> Redistribution of wealth and power.  There you have it!   
    JM> That is your modern day union movement.  This has nothing   
      
    That has always been the purpose of every union and corporation   
    and cartel and professional association throughout history.   
      
    JM> to do with workers' rights and everything to do with power   
      
    You do realize that pay is one of the things unions work on,   
    don't you?   
      
    JM> and the power to take wealth from those who earned it and   
      
    Those who earn it are those who produce goods and services,   
    what's wrong with that?   
      
    JM> redistribute it to those who didn't.   
      
    So, are you trying to say those who work for a living don't earn   
    their pay?   
      
    JM> In other words: From   
    JM> each according to his abilities, to each according to his   
    JM> needs.   
      
    Uh... aside from the fact that is from the New Testament, there   
    is also the fact that your comment makes no sense when you are   
    talking about paying people who work and produce goods and   
    services.   
      
    Now investment brokers, bankers and fund managers do not produce   
    goods and services, so if you think SEIU represents them that   
    might explain things.
