Biden: Only Unions Can Stop Middle-Class Onslaught
AFL-CIO ^ | Sep 6, 2011 | James Parks

Posted on 09/06/2011 2:48:52 PM PDT by mdittmar

The union movement is in a fight for its life and the other side is determined to take away our right to exist, Vice President Joe Biden told a gathering of working families.

Speaking at a Labor Day rally yesterday in Cincinnati, Biden said unions are the only non-governmental power with the power and capacity to stop the onslaught against the middle class.

 The middle class is under attack because labor is under the most direct assault in generations. The other side has declared war on labor’s house and it’s about time we stand up.

Oh, that’s going to cost a lot in overtime for them to do that. Maybe we should outsource instead.

Government Unions fall into the Looter Class, like most politicians.

Newspeak is now a part of our daily lives.

Up is down and down is up. Right is wrong and wrong is right.

I have no doubt that we are heading for a violent civil war before things get better. We are already in a civil war with the left against the conservatives, our side just hasn’t begun the physical fight yet. Its coming, stock up on supplies and ammo because we won’t clean up the mess over night.

The middle class is under attack BY Labor! The aims of these tinhorn thugs and parasites are directly at odds with those of working-class families. Choking business costs jobs, and right now, jobs are more important than lining Jimmy Hoffa's -- or Joe Biden's -- pockets.

Biden’s off his meds. He should go back to congratulating the Chinese on their one-child forced abortion policy.

Is that like paying "protection" money to the mob? It seems to me one of the biggest threats to the middle class are the greedy mob bosses who keep trying to extort more and more from the middle class to support their lavish lifestyles and power.

As feeble as he is the man who's heartbeat is keeping this guy at bay,

For that heartbeat every day I, we should give thanks and pray,

At least until that glorious 2012 election day,

What union does Mr. Biden belong to? Or was he referring to the gerbil in his pocket?

I kind of take offense at this “Working Families” thing. I work every day, my family works every day. We are not union members and never will be.

Why is it they call unionistas “working families” - like they are the only ones who work.

Every union thug I have seen works for no more than 90 minutes, then takes a 15 minute break, then 90 minutes till their lunch, and so on. I work all day from 8 AM till lunch at noon. I don’t take breaks and all that.

Well Mr. Biden, there is a problem with your numbers. The number of middle class who are NOT union members vastly outnumbers those who ARE union members.

He’s exactly right. The unions could pull the rug out from under the Dems, and that would stop it.
