A Blue Collar View
A blue Collar View is just that, a look at the politics of the state of Missouri and the nation from the point of view of a blue collar worker. I don't pretend to be a journalist, just a guy trying to survive in this crap economy and trying to make sense of the our twisted political system which seems intent on dismantling the American middle class and putting the American dream out of reach for most of us. Progressives are often accused of wanting to turn this country into a European socialist state. It seems to me that conservatives want to turn us into a third world nation, complete with low wages, polluted air and water, no unions or labor laws to protect workers, an education and health care system accessible only to the rich, a huge gap between the rich and the poor and a political system completely controlled by an economic aristocracy (the super rich). In short, conservatives seek to create an employers paradise in which the government does nothing but build prisons, roads and bombs.
I've grown tired of the rich desk jockeys who claim to represent the "average Joe". Most of these clowns wouldn't know a hard days work if it slapped them in the face.
