    Putting millions of working class Americans in financial peril is also bad. Can we agree on that? Or do you think people can eat their principles?

      Every single right won in this country has been to the detriment of some people, and people have suffered in the short term, but in the end, things come out better for everyone. With this type of mentality we would still have 7 day work weeks, no overtime, no paid vacation, all the benefits that were won by labor in the early 1900s wouldn’t exist

        Sure, but it’s mostly been the rich who was at a detriment, not the entire working class…right after suffering another financial hardship. You keep ignoring my entire point, because you think people can eat their principles.

          Short-term suffering has a lot less impact on the well being of people than long term suffering to protect the status quo.
