What's the line? "Capitalism is the man who makes $2000 an hour convincing the guy who makes $25 an hour that he is going to be ruined by the fellow who makes $14 an hour." Or something like that. The griping I see on FB from bitter wage earners who HATE unions blindly.

One of the reasons the right wing love to drive down wages and take away rights is so that people will be thankful they are one rung above the homeless and the destitute. My grandfathers were told the same shit when they worked in the mines for $3 a day. They joined a union.
