The effect of the dismantling of unions

We have seen the assault of the top 1% on the middle class for the past 30 years starting with Ronald Reagan, the champion of union busting when he fired all the PATCO workers. ALEC with all its troglodytes, people like the Koch Bros, Adelson, Karl Rove and his supporters hiding behind a mask that covers their crime, the Supreme Court and their many decisions to hurt workers, have been on a crusade to dismantle the middle class, and take the goods that belonged to the middle class. With a system that encourages the purchase of our elections, we have denigrated the country. In this denigration the top 1% comes out victorious. But if we look at the standing of the country we see it reversing. The right wants to make education for the privileged, it is like during the dark ages when only the clergy and the royal families had access to reading and writing, and the masses were illiterate. It is easier to manipulate the masses when they are less informed. Fox is one of these venues that keeps people ill informed, out of the circle of facts, misleading them with fantasies, scaring its audience by telling them that the big black wolf wants to take their houses and rights away. The same can be said about Rush, Hannity, Weiner, and some other out there. The past 30 years has set the country back, and the world pushes forward. One day we will be like China when they looked over the wall and realized that they had fallen behind. In the 70s we were the creditors of the world, but thanks to Ronald Reagan we became since 1985 the debtors of the world. We hardly make anything in the US, we speculate and gamble on money, but the ones eating from that plate is smaller and smaller each day. Speculating on money does not grow an economy, it does not create jobs, it dismantles jobs. If the Chinese would have planned the downfall of the US they could not have come up with a greater plan than the one self-inflicted by the top 1%. We have seen a stagnation of salaries of the middle class while the top 1% has seen its income go from 50 times to 500 times the average middle class income. To make matters worse the top 1% keeps on taking and taking.
Unless the middle class and the poor take action we will see the middle class impoverished, therefore the country will impoverish. If we do not have a robust middle class we cannot move forward as a nation. Unions form part of this package, and it has been thanks to the unions that we have paid vacation time, 8 hour work days. If the 1% would have their way we would have only the money in the hands of the 1% and the rest of us as slaves.
