Greetings, this is Podcast number 54 of Blast the Right.

Today, we're first going to discuss the right wings death by a thousand cuts method of class warfare.

Then we'll hear from a listener, a right winger, who claims that suffocating to death on your job is no big deal.

It's nobody's business but your own.

Huh? Let's get right into it.

The right wing is continuing to wage brutal class warfare on many fronts.
