i read tom brokaw's book a while back, the greatest generation. what is really interesting about the greatest generation is on the trial lawyer and i don't read notes very well. i want to apologize to her speechwriter. america's greatest generation was remarkable people. what is remarkable is not only what they did during the war but what they did after the war. they hope to grow the labor movement and they understood that the word collective-bargaining meant that we could work for our collective good. they understand that there are no such thing as false choices that businesses don't have to choose between their workers and their shareholders. we can do both and it is not a coincidence in those ensuing decades that we thought rises and standards of living. we thought rises in real wages than we saw a shared prosperity that is what we need. that is why spend time in germany because code determination is part of their dna. it is why they are one of the 10 largest companies in america. they understand that they succeed in partnership with their work
