These business models are killing the middle class. Read Steve! Yes, my odd vendetta goes beyond Uber! As a Progressive, I fight for middle class wages, workers rights, fair competition, Social Security, and paying for the commons. I am an AFSCME Union member. Steve! Have you been paying attention? If so, you'll be able to answer these questions. What do you think the Ubers and Wal-Marts think about:
1. Workers rights?
2. A stable middle class?
3. Fair, not "Free," competition?
4. Social security?
5. Paying income taxes?
6. Paying for the commons?
Yeah, you're right: "How can we AVOID all of this and let someone else pay the tab?!" Does that sound like billionaires begging for subsidies to you, too?
Steve, it's like "lights out" at your house. Wake up, man!
