The "People" you refer to are not legitimate participants in any serious discussion, and confronting them theoretically is pointless. They are mere reflections (I think this is one of the realties which vulgar Marxism can adequately deal with) of the capitalist offensive which has dominated the u.s. (in fact the world) for the last 40 years or so. The only response to such vulgarity and intellectual irrelevance is a mass working class movement which simply abandons both electoral politics and legal machinery. (For example, labor to become serious must return to some variety of the IWW practice of refusing to sign contracts.)

In my experience when someone spends a lot of time falsely accusing people of stuff it is a good sign they are guilty of it themselves. So, Are people who claim raising the minimum wage contributes to unemployment guilty of the lump of labor fallacy?,
