Arbeit Macht Frei, Save American Workers Act of 2014-- GOP And Blue Dogs Go For 52nd Vote To Kill The Affordable Care Act

Ever hear the German phrase Arbeit macht frei? The literal translation is fairly neutral: "work makes you free." But the reason the phrase resonates for people around the world is because when Jews, gypsies, union leaders, gays and other victims of the right-wing apocalypse of the 1940s arrived at the Auschwitz, Theresienstadt and Dachau death camps this phrase, in metal letters, was the first thing they saw above the gates. Work did not make them free.
