Patriots like to be known for their love of their country. “I would do anything for my country” is a favorite phrase. Well, my fellow patriots, here is a small thing you can do for your country: read up on its history. Start with the mid-1930s or better yet, the 1850s, and while you are at it, read up on labor history as well. 
As a fourth generation Iron Ranger, the story of labor and the struggle for workers’ rights is part and parcel of who we are. If you think the Trump Administration’s attacks on federal workers are someone else’s problem, think again. 
No informed person in their right mind can honestly think these billionaires have your best interest in mind.
If you really love your country, you had better start reading, because in this case the past is prologue.
