What Republicans are telling working Americans, the middle class, is

that you will work for lower wages, without health care, and without

retirement, *or* we will wreck the U.S. economy.

...As Stanley Kurtz writes in his 2010 book Radical in Chief: "Alinsky was ... convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America’s middle class against large corporations."

Alinsky has been dead for over 40 years and with him died his wrong
minded beliefs about social change.

Having sat in numerous board rooms, I can assure you that Harry is
right, for once. Since 2007, some American companies feel that they
cannot secure viable workers without breaking the economic back,
security, and spirit of the American worker. Their goal is lower
wages, no health care costs, no retirement costs, and an education
level restricting the worker to a particular socioeconomic class.

They are actively seeking social change to effect these ends and you
should be just as afraid of them as you seem to be of Alinsky. They
are just as screwed up.

You were the admin. assistant taking the minutes. Got it.
