"The nation’s highest court on Wednesday ruled, in 5-4 decision, that government employees who decline to join unions are not required to pay “fair share” fees to those labor groups that collectively bargain on their behalf."

This decision will harm the middle class for decades to come unless it is overturned. Without unions and without universal healthcare, these benefits will be decimated.

The flattening out of middle class income can legitimately tied to the gross weakening of American unions. The air controllers strike was a turning point in the upward mobility from the American working class. This decision is one of the last nails in the coffin of the middle class. Why would companies negotiate if they don't fear unions?

The insanity and intentional stupidity of the RW in America is dangerous to our society. The incomprehensible concept that in a market driven economy progress comes from the top down has been empirically proven to be false and should be logically proven to be a scam. The Top 1-5% can already buy the goods and services that they want. True wealth is created by growing the ability to consume for the lower-middle class and middle class.
