The Trouble with Unions

The Republican Party is frothing at the mouth at the prospect of dealing a major blow to America. If they can destroy the one large union left in America, they can deal a huge blow to the middle class, and they know it.

Let's forget how un-American the party is for wanting to cause so much harm to the majority of America, but let's look at the trouble with unions.

Many of the Republican-corrupted states have spent tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands per job to bring foreign auto makers into their states. In fact, these same "patriotic" Americans are now voting to destroy Amereica's own auto industry. Why?

The problem is with the unions. They give the middle class Americans a community from which they can force political change. This frightens those Republicans who don't consider themselves representatives of the "working class", they're elite. After all, they bring home, including benefits, tens and sometimes hundreds of times more money than those smelly workers.

If they can destroy the Auto workers' union, they can bring down the compensation of all of the auto industry workers to minimum wage or below. There will be no need for the foreign companies to pay union-comparable wages if there is no union, and they'll pay as little as they can get by with.

Destroying the Working Class unions is a Republican's wet dream, and they're rubbing all over themselves trying to make it happen.

So, what's wrong with a middle class worker getting paid well? Isn't that better for American than a corrupt corporate elitist making billions while the workers starve, like Wal-Mart?

The Republican Party does not represent America and it's time everyone saw them for what they really are, elitists.
