White Males Don't Get It /Their Future Is W/Democratic Party & Unions. [View all]

If white males had a lick of sense they would understand that being in a union, having a job with a social contract and being with Democrats is where their future lies. All this nonsense about minorities taking their jobs is a myth. What they fail to understand is that the power of the federal government through the Fair Labor Standards Act and the right to bargain is where they will have success. They ever will get anywhere with the GOP model.

Their fathers and grandfathers prospered when they had long term jobs, job security and a pathway to a pension. The GOP has pretty much destroyed all that since Reagan. And what the GOP and business has done is exactly why they are in the pickle they are in. Of course all of what I just said is too complicate for someone who thinks at the 4th grade level and has all this excess testosterone.

Restoring the social contract in employment is the only way the middle class will ever prosper. The "task rabbit" and "trickle down" economy is really suicide and leads only to economic oblivion for reasons too long to address here.

Their paranoia about the government taking their guns is overblown. The GOP is the one who would take their guns. Just look at what happened after Katrina.

So the angry white mail has it all wrong really because the more they support the GOP the worse it will get for them. And everyone else.
