Heh, more like "Indian taking." Charted al through history, the United States has made so many false promises and contridictions to it's own people that it truly is a wonder that this country doesn't just forcefully overthrow the government and reorganize every branch into working-class catering sections. One of those many contridictions in "Labor's Untold Story" was when Bill Haywood and many other miners and assorted workers tried to settle land that was available through the Homestead Act which the government quickly reliniquished from them shortly after the Act was ratified (Pg. 148). It's a travisty that the government, on a whim, can just pick up a family and push them off their land. First the Indians, then the homesteaders, and THEN they have the audacity to pay miners expanding west insignificant, menial wages?! Come on. This country is such a joke. It would be funny it wasn't so typical and pathetic.
