LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

GOP trying to take down education, unions

Republicans across the nation are remaining true to their right wing by attempting to destroy unions, public education and government in general.

When unions no longer exist, or are legally restricted from truly representing their members, the working class will be at the total mercy of the wealthy and privileged. When public education ceases to exist, only the wealthy and privileged will be educated, leaving the working class in servitude.

Upward mobility will be limited to those already in the top tiers of society. Any government that continues to exist will do so only to serve the interests of the wealthy and privileged.

From the beginning of the American Industrial Revolution, wealthy capitalists have used a strategy to hold the working class down by pitting worker against worker, thereby taking the focus off themselves as they increased their profits while ignoring the needs of the working class.

Republicans like to call their laissez-faire plan free-market capitalism, and they have manipulated much of the working class into believing in it. Only the educated and organized stand in their way.
