Most insidious is the right-wing tactic, practiced especially on AM radio and to a lesser extent on Fox News, of telling middle-class and working-class people, "Look at those unionized workers who have all these goodies that you don't have! They're coasting on your tax dollars!"
But there's another way to frame the situation: "Look at those unionized workers who STILL have the goodies that your parents and grandparents took for granted. Taking away their benefits won't help you one bit. Instead, you should organize and fight the greedheads who took your benefits away."
