The WAGNER Act

Submitted by Jack (United States), Jan 27, 2010 at 01:18

The economic problem stems back to 1937 . At the time The Wagner Act was in effect the Taft Hartley Act was proposed and President Truman vetoed it and the Republicans overrode his veto when they should have modified the Wagner Act to protect the American worker. Every peesident after President Truman has been more or less a puppet to the corporatiions and big business. I think 63 years of mismanagement is very difficult to change for any administration. One thing Iknow from being a laborer years ago, if we don't manufacture and build infrastructure the economy doesn't work. Capitalism and labor can not be seperated. The American worker must be protected with import tarrifs ect. Large corporations and big business are a ruthless group and need to be regulated
