An Answer to the Ubiquitous "Union Thugs" Meme

Aren't business associations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce basically unions for rich people?

We have rich people organizing and asserting their collective power, often with the goal of preventing non-rich people from organizing and asserting their collective power. Is this not class warfare? Aren't corporate lobbyists the true "union thugs"?

It's just republican pants wetting.

Try that. Be sure to use a typical republican ugly face when you say it. You can't talk any sense into them anyway.
