Nicolas Kristof: Despite Their Shadow Side, American Unions Have Upheld The Middle Class


NICHOLAS KRISTOF: Unions helped to uphold the middle class, despite their bad reputation. "The abuses are real. But, as unions wane in American life, it’s also increasingly clear that they were doing a lot of good in sustaining middle class life — especially the private-sector unions that are now dwindling. Most studies suggest that about one-fifth of the increase in economic inequality in America among men in recent decades is the result of the decline in unions." The New York Times.

Trickle Down
Perped under pretense of "job creation."

Taxes have hovered near their lowest rates ever,
 yet by conservatives' own assertion, real job growth is paltry to nil.

To forfend despair over America's idiocratic romp, it is useful to remember that, by definition, half of all people have double digit I.Q.
