Class warfare...

The Democrats tell us they are for "the little guy", but are they really?

The social system in America, for which they are largely responsible, may in fact accomplish just the opposite. Consider a corporation which pays minimum wage and offers no benefits and the employee who works that job.

If the employee didn't have the safety nets of Section 8 housing, Social Security, food stamps, WIC, et al, he would have to demand better compensation from the employer.

In order to cover the increased labor costs, the corporate executives would have to slash their own salaries. Increasing prices to cover the added labor costs would be a zero-sum game because the employer would be no better off financially.

Instead, since the corporations can rely on the government programs to pick up the slack, they are able to put money in their pockets at the expense of the "middle" class who gets hit hardest by FICA and federal income taxes (since they cannot afford lawyers to set up tax shelters).
