Union membership has never been more than 30% of the workforce, how is It responsible for creating a "strong middle class" (and is there a weak middle class)?

Currently we have been having a shrinking middle class. There are books out there to read if you would like to know how the middle class was built in this country.

How?

Seems the rest of the US is doing pretty good without unions, the wage stagnation is not because we do not have unions, unless you are also telling us that unions run congress and pass bills...

And why would you make such an asinine statement like that?

Really? Thanks for the laugh, capitalism didn't create the middle class because capitalism is about winners and losers, not those in the middle. But it does explain why right wingers are so much for racing to the bottom, and why I would be wasting my time teaching you where the middle class comes from.

So now stagnant wages are considered doing "pretty good?" Gotta love right wing logic, it always surprises me what they say next.

Way to go, Walker! You said it at the nutter conference: those kindergarten teachers, janitors and truck drivers are terrorists. You have to deal with them that way.
