The above isn't a platform. It's a list of misconceptions about what
you think "libb'rulls" stand for.
For example, #3... why would anyone want labor to "dominate" anything,
anymore than we want the corporate power to "dominate" now? That's
just insane. What we'd like to see is workers with more power to
negotiate the price they charge for their work. The country worked
better when we did that... people could afford to live back then...
