This is an opinion piece/fiction story from the Fredericksburg Free Lance Star. I don't know what the rules are concerning this newspaper so I excerpted it to be on the safe side and not get FR in trouble.

The question I have, will this happen? Can it happen? At what point will the citizens say enough is enough?

Republicans like to eviscerate unions to bid down labor, (posted by Chiswald , July 19, 2009 9:27 pm)

and then when hard working, low wage laborers struggle working 60+ hours a week just to get by, they bring up ant and grasshopper fables. Right wingers are totally out to lunch.

The comments, dude.... some people would rather be slaves

That was a very disturbing story. I will definitely be passing it along to others.

Needs to be read in conjunction with this by Guy de Maupassant.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
- speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776”
— Samuel Adams
