Conservatism in the US, if I'm getting it right, is touted as being the home of the 'average Joe', yet it also tends to represent the interests of big business. The 'average Joe' conservative will defend big business whilst the self same big business demands lower wages and more time at work for the 'average Joe'.
It baffles me how conservatives will go off on a bender about guns, abortion and a god (small g), yet continue to be silent in the face of increasing demands on workers; an issue that has immediate material and tangible effects on them.
Surely the interests of corporate America (increased production for less money) is in conflict with the interests of the average Joe (less work for more pay)?
