Exactly this. You have companies like Amazon where workers pee in bottles, or other Sears paying out tens of millions of dollars to C-suite executives while workers lose their jobs, but it's the frigging $50,000 a year union worker who is the problem? Give me a break.
The Fox News crowd has somehow convinced the working classes down south that it's the latter that is their enemy and that they need to vote Republican.

Agreed. Emergency services are an exception, though, and the problems can be solved without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
