Who Needs the Middle Class?

Reading time 40 seconds

Why doesn’t the Republican Party care about the Middle Class? Because the Big Business interests they represent don’t need us.

Globalization gives Big Business access to a huge market outside the U.S. for their goods and services and cheap labor, so American Middle Class consumers and workers aren’t as important as they were.

As jobs for Americans become scarce, because more and more jobs are outsourced, Middle Class American workers will work for low wages they would never have accepted in the past. And there is little American workers can do to protect themselves, because since the Regan administration the Republican Party has worked to destroy the labor unions. Now workers are on there own and can no longer look to their unions to protect them from the predatory practices of Corporate America. So, not only can Big Business do with fewer American workers, jobs are so scarce they will work for less and less money and benefits than in the past. So, it is a win, win for the Big Business interests the Republicans represent.

The irony is that the Republican Party not only aids Corporate America, it gets the very people their policies hurt to help them do it by flat out lying about what they are really about. Brilliant!
