Subject: RE: BS: Taxation without representation
Sorry Louis but 100 years ago there was no middle class. The middle class was created by labor unions.

Labor unions, the folks who gave you: weekends, minimum wage, the 40 hour week, safer working conditions and health care.

Who would want to go back to the days when a man worked his ass off for a dollar a day and if he got sick or disabled he was quickly replaced while he was being thrown on the dump?
