5. does anyone think this is blue collar vs white collar thing

they will give money to the banks but won't to these companies, alot of people will loose their jobs.

[malaise]

7. Partly

but mostly the Chambers of Commerce, Manufacturers' Associations, right wing politicians, et al want to destroy the unions.

They didn't even tell the financial sector to cut their salaries, but the blue collar workers must immediately cut their salaries and benefits. meanwhile the fat cats get bonuses and six figure salaries.
Workers will wake up soon and very soon.
