If they made more money, then maybe there would be more stay at home moms, and less crap in this world.
So their jobs are harder than the social services worker helping individuals who live in group homes that make less than $35k? Why don't you defend the non-union people who make half of what the toll workers make?

Union or not, they have a job that pays them much more than they would make at other jobs that require the same skill set.

As for the complaining about white collar jobs; did you happen to read any of the comments about the AIG employees?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
