They convinced a large number of Middle Class Americans, making $48K-$50K a year, with shit wages, no pensions, bullshit benefits and zero labor protections, that there true enemy was their fellow Middle Class Americans making $50K-$52K a year, with less shitty wages, a modest pension, barely passable benefits and minor labor protections.
It's why a large segment of the Middle Class are gleeful to see Civil Servants get screwed.
If they ever start questioning why their wages, pensions, benefits and labor protections suck so much, instead of being pissed at their neighbors that are just barely doing marginally better than they are, the trickle-down bullshit that has been shoved up the American Middle classes ass for 50 fucking years, collapses like a house of cards.
Their idea of workplace standards is; everyone should get as fucked over as I do.
That's their idea of fairness.
It's bad enough that these Middle Class Americans, that enjoy some modest labor benefits, have to fight the billionaires and corporate America. It's criminal that they also need to fight 10s of millions of their fellow Middle Class Americans.
I have a pension and benefits from 30 years in the military. You'd be shocked at the number of my neighbors that consider me a "Lucky Ducky".
