  1. Why would anyone want to see someone who actually represents the interests of the working class. People would rather see well dressed members of the mendacious class nattering about nothing.

    Meanwhile, we, the working classes are being set against one another, as we fight for either: a. dignity and fair compensation for work or b. the Koch Brothers’ shamelessly and craftily conceived Tea Party.

    That is, some of the richest men in the US have spent some of their pocket change (mere millions) to persuade the gullible that their neighbors are stealing from them — meanwhile, it is the richest of the rich that are quietly reaping billions as the government writes them checks or better still, just looks the other way.

    My two cents worth from out here in the abyss.

  2. From today’s Paul Krugman column:

    You don’t have to love unions, you don’t have to believe that their policy positions are always right, to recognize that they’re among the few influential players in our political system representing the interests of middle- and working-class Americans, as opposed to the wealthy. Indeed, if America has become more oligarchic and less democratic over the last 30 years — which it has — that’s to an important extent due to the decline of private-sector unions.

    And now Mr. Walker and his backers are trying to get rid of public-sector unions, too.

  3. Wow… every now and then a second rate mind such as I have thinks like someone with a great mind.

    However, it would be a mistake to find validation in the utterances of someone solely because he/she has an aura of authority (which includes for some folks like Sarah Palin or Glen Beck). The important thing is whether it makes sense.

    I urge one and all to think for yourselves.
