"There is nothing sacred about a corporate contract – just ask union members and other workers. CEOs routinely abrogate legal contracts on wages, health care, and pensions for working folks. In fact, just last December, Washington demanded that car companies simply tear up their contracts with the United Auto Workers.

(Video clip included!)
Something tells me
Kinky Friedman
is going to have a new slogan for his upcoming campaign for governor.
