I'm beginning to think the proletariat class no longer exists, at least not in sufficient numbers.

C'mon Chas, you know better than that. The thing that resonates is the loss of the ability join together to have a chance for fair wages and working conditions. The public favored the salary cuts the public workers will have to take, but a large majority opposed the theft of the collective bargaining rights. Most people also realize that the agenda of the gub and other Koch sycophants does not end with public employee unions, and much of the support comes from that realization. The public also hates a power play - the gub had agreement to the cuts he wanted, but he overreached by going beyond that to try to break the unions. I suppose that those of us affiliated with the labor movement should thank the gub, because he has done a terrific job of firing workers up.
