The public-sector unions gave up alot, willingly and immediately, in Wisconsin, at Walker's asking. And in Detroit. The unions gave massive concessions in pension, benefits and pay to help save the auto industry. It worked.

The current corporate plutocrats want to destroy unions, as unions enabled, and still enable, employees to protect themselves against workplace abuse. Corporations want to eliminate all that inconvenience and expense that created a middle class of upwardly-mobile, well-paid workers over the past 100 years in this country.

So they tell you to hate unions. So you do. Click. Treat. Vote.

Goodbye, American middle class. It was a nice thing for a while in the 1950's - 1980's. It created "suburbs" of home ownership. It created kids going to college, and a better life for one's kids. It's half gone now.

And the GOP and Mittens and the Koch Brothers are intent upon finishing it off, with Hannity's help herding the gullible sheep, this election cycle.
