1, Capitalism sucks.
2, It can't be fixed.
3, It's undermining education in Chicago (and everywhere else).
4, Karen Lewis has to go.
5, Rahm Emanuel has to go
6, The Illinois Senate has to go.
7, Reform is nothing more than a chimera.
8, Unions, while beneficial, are powerless against Wall Street.
9, SB7 has got to go.
10, Presidential fiat has got to go, in unions and in everything else.
