I love it when Republicans Villainizing Unions & the Working Class

Go ahead, Republican­s ... keep Villainizi­ng Union & Public sector workers. They make it sound as if Union Favoritism is somehow "bad". 

If you assume that 12% of the work force in this country is Unionized ... and that there are enough folks in the private sector and Independen­t voters who are downright fed-up by the Republican approach to governance where labor and Job Creation is concerned (i.e. overreaching, severe budget cuts, ignoring the legislators / voice of the minority party or dissent, willful misuse of State Budgets in order to take away existing rights or funding that help many American families, etc.) 

I'm just assuming that makes up 20% (conservatively) who will never, ever vote Republican (at least anytime soon?) Combine that with those who typically vote Democrat, the Republicans can kiss the next few election cycles goodbye.

So, I say: go ahead Republican­s ... make my day!

First they came for everyone else that didn't matter ... until they came for Me

First they came for the ailing and disabled 
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a ill or disabled

Then they came for the immigrants & non Christians
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't an immigrant & was a Christian

Then they came for the Labor, Unions and the American working class 
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't part of the Labor movement, didn't see the immediate benefits of Unions or its impact on the American working class

Then they came for me, my job and my family
and there was no one left to speak out for me, my job or my family
