The owner class has gotten really used to having the upper hand in the negotiations, they're not coping well at all.

And to that I say: welcome to the club.

The small biz owners here described here aren’t the Masters-of-the-Universe “owner class” types. They don’t even really own businesses, they own lower management jobs.

Sure. And slave overseers are not plantation owners.

We have this bipartisan love affair with small business, and the fact is many of them are unproductive institutions abusing tons of poor immigrants to stay afloat. They also provide ideological cover for the more labor-intensive actual big corps. It's about time the rose-collard glasses came off.

> "rose-collard glasses"

(Rose-coloured, looking through them makes everything look rosy (cheerful, promising, pleasant))
