Some of these protesters probably voted for the Repukes in Wisconsin thinking they would just be mean to poor people. Surprise! I'm hoping the upper middle class will wake up and see that their standard of living is on the line, too.

2. Not to nitpick but, I wouldn't call teachers, EMTS, firefighters, etc.
"upper middle class"....Middle classe, maybe, not "upper" middle class

3. I think most public employees are haves and they should be haves.
The working have nots and the underemployed need a raise and a decent safety net.

5. Maybe in a relative sense..
Do you live in the USA, ES?

It's a pertinent question as work situations can vary a lot

depending on which side of the pond you are on.

4. Yep. Mythical welfare queens win elections for republicans.
But when the rubber hits the road, the people that most passionately vote republican get screwed.
