WaPo Attacks Unions for Seeking Higher Wages for Their Members

Forgot to mention prevously.

This was the exact rhetoric that gasbag Limbaugh was spewing in the 80's and 90's. Long before he went into full fascist/teabagger mode, he sold himself as a conservative populist of sorts, or at least played that angle from time to time to broaden his appeal. He would always aver he wasn't anti-worker, but anti-organized labor. He would speciously act as more or less what we would call a "concern troll" today.

You could see right through it, but not enough did. As the layers of subterfuge were generally peeled back in cross arguments, his disdain for the working class as a whole became more and more aparrent. He wasn't anti-union because he cared about labor: He was anti-union because unions represented the biggest obstacle in the marginalization of labor as a whole. Get rid of the sole remaining obstacle, and the remaining working class can be flushed aside and asunder like a swarm of ants under a high pressure water hose.
