This is propaganda. I don't know who Thom Hartmann is but clearly he needs a lesson about the nature, connections and collusive actions of Unions.

No doubt, no arguments there. I was interested in the history of corporations he shed light on.

How much you want to bet there is more to this story? I'm no fan of "corporations" any more than I am of unions. But when someone brings out an obscure bit of history with broad accusations that nobody else in the history of agenda-hawking has ever mentioned before you gotta wonder if what he is saying is accurate.

It is a interesting point, CHH would have some good info on this subject, I will see if he has some good sources for more background. I saw this clip orginally on his blog, he is well verse on the history on such subjects as this.
