teapublicans are against worker protections because they believe in screwing the next person for your own personnel gain. They believe if you can get a slave you should. They got their brains beat out in the civil war and so now they are trying to slowly enslave others by reducing the poor and middle class to nothing but wage slave. Just like the people of Haiti who make .25 per hour. They want this for America. These are the same people as the old south Democrats. Different name same game. Only this time its not by race. They want slaves of all races. Wake up people.

There is no middle class with out the unions watching the republicans. We would be living like the people of Haiti if not for the unions. Oh I know the rich would let a crumb or two fall to their most loyal a$$ kissing peasants but no midle class would exist. Thats the war that must be won.

Please try to follow along here because you may find this complicated.

Union benefits are outrageously expensive for taxpayers.

The middle class has to pay the bill for these benefits.

Most people in the middle class are not union members.



So.....How is this possibly a win for the middle class?

Default Another tea party defeat.........

Election measures against unions, abortion defeated | Reuters

I told you the tea party has woke up the middle class and poor to what has been happening to us from people like them for years. Thanks for the wake up tea party now don't try and run now. We see now why the Obama election made you crazy.

The Supreme Court will make the decision about the Mandate. It is critical to the funding of the Exchange. Without it, HC Law will need to have a Public Option for people to choose..... Hmmmm.....?????

You know, if this trend continues, I might actually thank the tea party for coming into existence and getting elected--and showing us just how ugly, twisted and hateful the far right really is.

The fact that they consistently vilify our country's firefighters, police officers, teachers and other regular Americans for doing their jobs while they treat the top one percent as objects of worship while some of them drove this country into a recession) astounds me. I hope this is the beginning of the end for these people.(

The majority of the people see teapublicans now for what they are. Front lines soldiers in the war against the middle class and poor of this country.

I am grateful for them. Without their help it would look like Obama caused all this. Instead the tea party has shown the front line of the wage slave war fought by them for 40 years now.
