YOur rhetoric is so stale.
This is a classless nation.
I suspect that although your rhetoric is stuck on whatever claptrap you got from our under-performing public education system, what you actually MEAN to say (but don't have the ability to grasp) is that there is a distribution in society of income and wealth levels.
One should avoid using politically incorrect and nonsensical constructs as "class."
You have an example of a country with a strong middle class and no unions? Repubs have said unions aren't needed and wages would go up. Well with a decline in unions wages are stagnant. How long till you admit being wrong?
You are arguing different things.
First of all, I'm not a Republican. I used to be. Of course, prior to that I was a fuzzy headed liberal Democrat (like you). But when I realized that the GOP is a rather pale, milder and less effectual version of the liberal Democrat Parody, I dumped the GOP and registered AS a Conservative.
Secondly, as for unions, I recognize some value in them. However, I also see in them, a lot these days, a self-destructive quality. They are willing to disrupt work places and make demands beyond rational pay and benefit (and job-related safety) issues in such irrational ways that they threaten to kill off the very corporate entities that provide their members the jobs in the first place. Fuckin' idiots should (as a first order of business) keep the adage about not killing the golden goose in mind.
Wages tend to get stagnant periodically. I know you libs hate the economics lessons needed to even begin to fathom the cyclical nature of business, but your lack of willingness to educate yourselves is not a good excuse for your sloppy thinking.
When will YOU admit that you have been totally duped by modern American "liberalism," the sophistry that passes for a political philosophy?
It's amazing that no one came up with this earlier. However:
