Your post number 10 hit the nail on the head. Dems don't want people working without a big (lib) bureaucracy to "help" them. Independent entrepreneurs are the bane of libs.

I remember reading an article some years back where some union bigwig was opposed to work-at-home moms. According to this "genius", who would be there to guarantee her on-the-job safety? It sounds like something out of The Onion, but I swear that's very close to what the idiot said.
