Notice any talk of Labor Day? Or how organized labor paved the way to create a prosperous middle class in this country? Or, speaking of health care, how the only reason those who have insurance in this country (whether represented by a union or not), have it because unions paved the way for decent pay, safe working conditions, and health insurance for workers and their families?

No, didn’t think so. The corporatists that run this country and the traditional media hate unions because they hate the middle class. Sadly, they’ve also managed to turn much of the middle class against unions and their own self interests.

Health care isn’t the only way Europeans have it all over us, either. We’re the only advanced country that’s a “no vacation nation,” meaning that we are not leagally guaranteed paid vacation or holidays. Twenty-five percent of U.S. workers receive NO paid vacation or paid holidays, and it’s the worst for (surprise, surprise) low-wage and part-time workers, as well as for employees of small businesses (which Republicans pretend to revere, even as they cede power to the mega international corporations undermining those small businesses).

And these idiot tea baggers, birthers, racists, and death panel evangelists are happy to goose step along, demanding that the government screw them, ‘cuz they hate those damn dirty anti-capitalist unions, and you’re goddamn right health insurance ought be for profit, and those CEOs deserve hundreds of millions of dollars more in a year than most of us will make in a lifetime.

You know, they say you get the government you deserve, and for these folks, that’s true. But, damn, how come I have to get stuck with the government they ?

But, hey, at least we’re not Socialists, right?
