Two Steps Back

It takes an emotional toll, this fight we, the middle class, are fighting.  One step forward, two steps back.
Remember how just a few weeks ago, I posted this: A (Small) Victory for the Middle Class.

And today, this story broke:  Bill voiding sick leave law sent to Walker.

Yesterday the Assembly Republicans sent a bill to Walker that would void the Milwaukee ordinance requiring businesses to provide paid sick leave.  More and more we see businesses running our country.  We've heard the Republican drill:  if we treat businesses well by offering tax cuts and no regulations, then they in turn will create lots of jobs, helping us "lower" class via the trickle down effect.

But what are the results?  The CEO's get richer and the middle class gets poorer.
