No, the middle class owns property. The working class consists of rent slaves and (projecting here) I think they won one here.

I had an on-campus janitor job making slightly over minimum wage. I worked with union janitors who were paid 3x my wage plus 2x in fringe benefits, while the students (who had zero fringe benefits) did the harder jobs (I did floor care and cleaned restrooms, union janitors emptied office wastebaskets).

Burger flippers probably think the public union workers are way overpaid.

Progressives, progressing into oblivion.

Ed Schultz has to be the biggest loser out of this recall fiasco. He's been pushing this for a year on his show. I guess the recall results mirror his pathetic ratings.

A recall that strengthened the position of the subject of the recall would be strange ineeed.

I would love to see detailed numbers (exit polls?), I think low-wage workers enjoyed a surprising victory which should send a disturbing message to Democrats.
