Just listened to the idiot Michael Enright on the CBC interview one John Nichols, a journalist out of Madison, Wisconsin.
These guys are SO out of touch.
They reflected on the loss of good prive-sector jobs, and how income had crashed and retirement benefits had been slashed, and how the workers now had to pay for their own pensions, and how a guy that was a $30/hr machine operator might now be a $8/hr Walmart greeter.
Then they went on to blame the Republican victory over government unions with Walker winning the "politics of envy". The working class, out there in the disaster area, is simply jealous........small-minded was the inference......and simply wanted to deny gov't workers their excellent pay and platinum pensions because of their envy.......their only cause was to pull the gov't worker down to their level.
It didn't occur to either one that the pensionless $8/hr Walmart greeter was PAYING FOR the inflated salaries and excellent benefits of the gov't worker.
Such willful stupidity, blindness, and arrogance!!!
