Typical Democrat, you just expect to stand there for our handouts...!
That ^^^^ sounds like a personal attack.....because it is a personal attack. What is NOT personal about telling ME that I have "nothing to offer"?

Now, TELL ME WHY unions need to be broken and discarded. Where do you get the idea that TODAY management and business owners are not even more "self-interested" than they were back in the days prior to unions? Me thinks that some people, many people, in fact, are just plain being totally duped by the wealthy folks out there like the Koch brothers. You're doing their dirty work in fact by attacking the unions as "private citizens".......

Btw, my parents and family taught me that it's really impolite and evidence of poor upbringing to discuss specifics regarding your income or wealth with strangers.

Hence the use of the word POLITICIANS. Glad you were able to pick up on what I meant. I thought it may have been to cryptic for some.

I was thinking of something a little more salty, but the word politicians works. Likely that it is a synonym in modern times.
