Illegally Sqashing The Middle Class

Daily Kos:  Mitt Romney kicked off his profit-making years at Bain Capital with a little bit of union-busting. In 1984, Bain invested in Key Airlines, a struggling charter operation, with Romney investing in the airline personally and becoming one of its directors. The idea, of course, was to turn it around for a profit—but an effort by pilots to unionize might have complicated such a deal. So Key illegally squashed the effort

We often say Rmoney  made millions bankrupting American companies, destroying American jobs and screwing American workers out of their pensions. Perhaps we should add illegal union busting to that list.  Unions were what helped build the middle class.  Their decline correlates perfectly with the decline of the middle class.  And of course the decline of the middle class drives the decline of the consumer economy which drives the decline of the country.  None of which the Republican party gives a rip about.  As long as their transnational CEO billionaire backers continue to bankroll their grip on power they really could care less.
