Right-wingers love to attack unions, while enjoying the benefits fought for by unions

[Hugabear]

I wonder how many of these right-wingers who love to attack union workers are working a comfortable 40-hour work week? I wonder how many of them enjoy cashing those overtime paychecks? I wonder how many of them look forward to spending the weekend with their families? I wonder how many of them would never even think about sending their children to work in a sweatshop? I wonder how many of them enjoy planning for their yearly vacation?

You know, basically all those benefits that were fought for by union workers that they now take for granted...

1. The ranting irrational side of me wants unions to not represent and not fight for right wing workers

Just cut 'em loose and let them live in the Ann Randian/Gilded Age world that they want.

they think it's WRONG that "Those guys" make so much money. Trouble is, They ARE those guys!

That's the term for morons who are duped into agitating against their own best interests.

Pity that union history in America isn't a bigger part of our elementary school education.

5. I used this EXACT same argument recently. Family member

Should have known better, we get along fine as long as we don't talk politics. Obvious fact for many I assume.
He responded that 'you people' - endearing term coming from a relative, love to attack America while enjoying the benefits fought for by Americans.
And back to not talking politics with him, I will learn eventually.
