money quote

(with emphasis added)

The good times were still rolling when Eugene LaPorte graduated from high school in 1973. He went straight to work in the mill, and for years it looked like a great move: LaPorte became a supervisor, and at his peak, he had close to a six-figure salary.

ÂWho needed a college education?Â LaPorte said. ÂI was living the dream.Â

But that was before the companyÂs fortunes changed. In 1990, Great Northern was purchased in a hostile takeover and later went into bankruptcy.

We keep forgetting that the dire state of the toiling classes in this country owes in major part to a systematic campaign of looting by which these companies were "purchased," sucked dry and discarded like wadded-up snotrags by brigands like Mitt Romney.

cordially,
