Root subsequently advocates the formation of a "Private Sector Taxpayers Union," where "all the small business people and all the income earners, all the successful people" would "strike... and show America what we're worth"

      Roots been dutifly reading his copy of Atlas Shrugged I infer.
      As a guess any modification or wieghting of capitalistic free marketing will destroy it per wingnuttia dogma. As if the unions would rather destroy that which produces their paychecks. Must be one of them there black and white logic thingies.

      Sorry , but the middle class in this country was built by organized labor and the GI Bill, not small business.

        Sure, King, but that was way back when we were a socialist country.

        I've probably told you my old man was able to go to NYU & Columbia on Uncle Sam in between WWII and Korea, and my mom went to Berkeley with no tuition, just a $12 health fee (she can't remember if it was per year or semester).

        Education and organized labor, two very frightening things for the GOP. Barely employed, powerless and ignorant, that's how they like their voters.

      So I geuss they are playing bad cop-worse cop? Unions didn't make the stock market tank overnight. They didn't decide to design cheaply made SUVs while the customers were leaning toward reliable efficient sedans. Oh, and as workers they are the ones who produce the products, not just "all the successful people"

      The problem here is that none of these guys have been out in the real world. I bet they couldn't even change a lite bulb. Get out in the real world and try to make a living. If I knew I could make millions spreading BS I would done it along time ago.
