I know that its best for both to be successful and happy, but sometimes you need to decide on which one you want legislation to favor more.
So which do you favor/want to protect more?
What makes you feel that the business class isn'ty part of the working class? You insinuate that businessmen don't work?
Yes it does. Both union and non-union member workers are business owners - in their 401k's, pension plans, annuities, etc.
Like I said, you presented a false dichotomy.
The only false dichotomy is the risible argument that owning a few measly shares of a company denotes ownership, because that will come as news to hundreds of thousands of recently laid off workers who were shown the door of "their" company despite being one of the "owners."

It's not a false dichotomy. Take a look at what's in just about every retirement account/pension plan. Is it cash? Or is it equities, securities, and bonds?
But thank you for providing a very good example of why Obama's anti-business policies are so bad for workers.

if you buy, or are given, stock in a corporation, you are a shareholder, and thus part owner of that corporation. that doesnt mean you cannot be terminated from that corporation if you are working for them. the only poeple you have any semblance of control over id the board of directors, and then only at the stock holders meetings. stock is an ownership document.
Instead of 'working class' vs 'business class', which are nebulous terms at best, let's make it a little more clear cut if we really have to use class warfare lables:
employeed and those actively searching for work vs welfare recepients.
The only time Business Class crosses my mind is when I'm on a flight that takes longer than 4 hours.
And I realize which class I'm sitting in and where I'd rather be.
