"Today, American labor unions are under unprecedented assault. Public workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and other states face all-out campaigns to destroy their collective-bargaining rights. The magnificent outbreaks of opposition to these attacks provide a potent reminder that economic security, respect and representation on the job are not arrogant demands of “greedy” workers but basic human rights. If my father were alive, he would be linking arms in the front ranks of the protests against the attacks on trade unions." -- Martin Luther King III in today's Kaplan Daily.
"Don't blame Wall Street. Don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself." -- Herman "Herb*" Cain, from an October 5 interview with the Wall Street Journal.
