Republicans want a "Grand Bargain"? OK, here it is

10. The original "Grand Bargain"

(as Robert Reich pointed out in his book, The Work of Nations, Knopf 1992), Government/Society, would provide an educated, reliable workforce and business would provide stable, living-wage jobs and build a solid middle class.

Business broke the deal....

they sent jobs over seas

they learned to make money through finance and not production

they enriched themselves at the expense of the laborers (race to the bottom...destroy the unions etc)

The created a need for the social safety net and now they're trying to destroy that too...in the Libertarian fantasy land, EVERYBODY is at the top of the food chain and if they are not it's because, they're too lazy, too stupid or made "bad choices"..(like not being born into a millionaire family?)

I never thought I'd see the class struggle come to this..but..

IT'S ON
