THE LAST TRUCK

If you want to see a movie that shows what it’s like to be an American at the beginning of this century, you should see the HBO Documentary, “The Last Truck.” The film chronicles the last days before the closing of a GM plant in Ohio and the effect it had on its workers.

I’ve never seen a movie so sad. And I’ve never been prouder to be an American while watching one. It has been a long time since I worked in a factory and then for not very long. But, I’ve worked with and knew people like those men and women featured in that film. And really, I’ve never known any better.

Those people, not the gangsters that closed the plant they worked in, are the real America. It’s about time those sons-a-bitches on Wall Street and the elected crooks in both the Democratic and Republican parties realize it.

Have a good Labor Day…And watch your back America!
