Wall street wants it, unions want it, Obama wants it and now you can add at least one Communist filmmaker to the list of supporters of CFPA.
As thousands of union members converged on Wall Street last week, they were joined in solidarity by Kevin Keating. Keating, a cinematographer on the 1976 movie “Harlan County, U.S.A” and an unabashed communist joined his union brethren in demanding the Obama-Dodd financial takeover bill that would give unions greater ability to takeover the governing boards of companies and drain resources into their own coffers.
Small business and main street companies will suffer under the bill. But at least Obama and Dodd have the support and admiration of one very proud communist.
