Scarborough: ‘Decline in the Middle Class Can Be Tied to the Decline of Unions’

Guess Who Said 'Decline of Middle Class Tied to Decline of Unions' (NewsBusters)

Who said: "I've always believed the decline of the middle class could be tied to the decline of unions. And when you have 7%, 8% of the work force in unions, when you have CEO pay going up to record heights, you're going to have a hollowing out of the middle class." Was it a. Elizabeth Warren; b. Robert Reich; or c. Ed Schultz?

Correct answer: d. None of the above.  It was Joe Scarborough on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough prefaced his lament over the decline of unions by saying "It's been well-documented on Twitter: I'm a right-wing Republican stooge."  Translation: to my liberal critics out there, see—my heart's in the right [left] place when it comes to unions.
