re: #328 Expand Your Ground

I sometimes think that the GOP ideal is to have the entire workforce lined up outside the office building like dayworkers outside the Home Depot: the boss drives up and and announces that he needs six accountants, two IT people and a marketer, and hires them for the day…

Their ideal is to return to the days before unions, when an employer held all the power and could hold employees shackled to their jobs through wage slavery. When the middle class was something you attained through luck of the draw or patronage from the wealthy, rather than through hard work and sacrifice.
