Apparently this is the philosophy behind the right in the US today. Housing market collapse? Unemployment skyrocketing? Impose "austerity" measures on working people while enshrining historically low tax rates on the wealthy. State facing a budget crisis? Go after the last remaining veneer of the once vaunted "middle class", the public sector unions. None of us shall be truly prosperous until (almost) all of us are earning poverty wages and living without benefits.
