Dear Concerned American,
They snickered when I said I came to the U.S. Senate to change Congress. But their laughter stopped when I sponsored the National Right to Work Act to free U.S. workers from forced unionization and break Big Labor's multi-billion dollar political machine forever.

Rand Paul... (less rich than most of the jerks quoted so far, but still a real jerk) in an email soliciting support for his Federal Right to Work Act. No, this wouldn't be like the "right to work" they claimed to have in the Soviet Union, where everyone was supposed to be guaranteed a job. This is the right to work (for less, with less benefits if any and no collective bargaining rights). Of course, if you want it you already have this right, just take any of the 93% of jobs in the private sector in the U.S. where, like all non-union employees in America, you will be an "at will" employee who can be fired at any time for any (or no) reason and can't bargain collectively for benefits, a safer work environment, or anything else. This is really more a law to ensure that the bosses have the "right" to (desperate) "work"(ers) with no rights.
You might remember that Rand Paul stated that he wouldn't have supported the Civil Rights Act, because (like all libertarians) he feels that the right of bosses to make decisions about the use of their property based on their deeply held, individual racist beliefs is much more important than, say African Americans having the right to feed their families. He claims he would have marched with Dr. King, though (maybe for the exercise) so here is a non-rich-jerk quote in the interest of furthering his education...
