The unlikely quote comes from a speech given by Ronald Reagan while campaigning for President on Labor Day in 1980. Sure, he was talking about workers in Poland, and sure, he’d go on in a few months time to break the backs of the air traffic controllers union, but hey! For one brief, shining moment… In Phineas’ words: “It’s a terrible comment on America that the current political climate can make the hero of the Republican party sound like a leftist rabble-rouser. Unions helped build this country and are now under attack everywhere, blamed for the messes made by bankers and thieves. The people at the protests in Wisconsin and around the country are the ones doing the real work, but I still felt moved to print this to remind people that there is still power in a union.” Whether an inspiring piece of agitprop art or a bit of odd cultural incongruity, you can hang this on your wall safe in the knowledge that your family *will* ask you a lot of questions about it when they come visiting during the holidays. (Here’s the speech, if you’re curious/skeptical.)
