the middle-class...It was the unions when there were 57% strong in this country that created a strong working middle-class.

In 1980 Reagan & the republicans with corporations help, set out and have slowly been getting rid of unions to the happiness of the corporations!

The republicans and corporations would love to have unions made illegal...and continue down the path of low wages, no benefits, no pensions that can now be relied upon, hiring of cheap immigrant workers and outsourcing jobs to other countries...fuck the middle class...

We should all just be low paid workers & slaves, the middle-class was a pain in the ass...they asked for too much from corporations, they were too educated...get rid of unions and destroy the middle-class...

First goal by the republicans, was to give unions a bad name and they succeeded!!!!

College became affordable for the average guy under the G.I. Bill after World War 2. A college education remained affordable during the 1970s and possibly into the 1980s before tuition increases increased way out of proportion to the rate of inflation.

Now once again college educations seem to be mainly for the wealthy.

Just to get more votes

I'd like to get at least 60 votes
