when i was a union carpenter i learned that suggesting we were making too much in wages and benefits to the brothers was a good way to get your ass torn off and shoved down your throat.

economic inertia will shake out all non politically connected wage disparities over time. the decline in tax revenue will adjust the connected workers economic wage/benefit imbalance once everything else collapses.

And the sooner the better! When I think about all the Soviet-style BS we put up with -- just to prop up some the vaunted "middle class," I get ill. America became a GREAT nation without having a coddled, subsidized "class" of people who could buy homes, new cars and big-screen TVs while working a 40-hour-per-week schedule. Americans are spoiled.

This politically correct worship of the sacred "middle class" -- something we did very well without until after WWII -- has to end. The gravy train is over!
