Does deeming to even talk about the role of government or unions with republicans give

their position gravitas? Yes. And of course Dems do not talk industrial relationships between business, unions and government. Which they should. Even if they have to do it amongst themselves. Dems should be the party embracing the future. The party that sees how wealth has decoupled from jobs. The party that sees we need new relationships between business, government, unions, through taxes and regulations, that work for the middle class. Dems are not talking about it and that delegitimizes unions and government by not putting government & unions at the forefront of the middle class' future.
