GOP intransigence on the economy: not just to hurt Obama's election chances now but also to kneecap

[applegrove]

the middle class in the USA in the long term?

[MrSlayer]

1. Yes.

They want to keep you chained to your shitty job and scare you into being happy to have even that. They're insidious.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

2. Of course. Nothing would make the leadership and their funders happier

Than to go back to the pre WW1 days of Gossford park, or even better, before the Magna Carta was signed.

3. This would solve a lot of their problems

If they had there way the the 99% would have 1% of the wealth and the 1% would have 99%.

4. Of course.

They hate us for our freedoms, and they want us dead. I swear, they are attempting genocide against the poor and sick.

5. especially to finally, totally bust any unions

and any people who contribute to democrats.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

6. I think that they are just setting most of us up

for a bleak future. They have no positive vision of the future for most of us- To them, they believe that most of us will just need to accept a bleak future, with less protections, more hardships, less happiness. We need to oppose that "vision" and their cynicism and negativity and continue to fight for a better future for everybody IMHO!

[xfundy]

7. Yes, of course.

Our overlords consider us as idiots at best, and they've experience that legal or illegal immigrants will work for any amount of money; as they abused them, they now want to abuse us.

We are getting back to a situation just like the one that created the need for unions in the first place.
