... I've run into 2 types of people. Union people who know what's at stake and are doing everything they can to fight this "Right to FREELOAD" law, and the people Steinbeck described as "Temporarily Embarrassed Capitalists", who don't give a crap about their fellow working men and women because they, oh, they are not gonna be pushing a broom or flipping burgers forever. Oh, no, Ayn Rand and Gush Pfleghmball told them they're going to be PRODUCERS some day.

They remind me so much of "Mr. Block" from the IWW cartoons of 100 years ago.
