The labor movement does not make gains at the cost of lower income workers or most higher income workers. They are organized to get their fair share of the income that they work for. Labor union decline has resulted in the obscene concentration of income for the wealthy CEOs and investors.
The Tea Party includes workers, who are more-likely to be small business owners or middle managers, but they are far better off than, let's say, Wall Street Occupiers. They are older, and are the same folks who have supported Reagan and Bush and some even go back to Joe McCarthy. Many of them are retired.
The Tea Party are a group that feels they are entitled to their tax breaks, and don't want to go back to paying more taxes to help poor people of color. They are just wrong, and they are ruining our country. Paying taxes helps themselves and all of us. They (and you Warren, with due respect) are deceived by trickle-down economics ideology. The feel entitled to have their ideology in power, and feel any government action is "over-reach."
This ideology is killing us. We can't depend on free enterprise to create a prosperous and just society. The bosses don't want that. They want more for themselves and less for everyone else, and they don't want a population capable of critical thinking. That's against their interests! That's why they are putting up that lady lunatic for Education secretary who wants to shut it all down.
