40% of Americans today can’t come up with $400.00 in cash in case of emergencies. Those staying just a bit ahead of the curve are working two jobs. The fortunate Americans, like most of us, complain about minimum wage of $15.00 a hour driving up our cost when we dine out. There are more Billionaires than ever before in the history of our country. Is there something wrong with this picture? Is there an answer? Is there value in a Union?

The middle class is vanishing for sure. What makes you think it has anything to do with unions? It probably has a lot more to do with the elites.
