" Alaska is such a rich, filling banquet of our usual midday fare. &amp;quot;Nobody should have to basically pay someone else to get a job in this state -- I mean, we got rid of slavery a long time ago,&amp;quot; Sullivan said. &amp;quot;We should never have to encumber yourself out of your wages in order to work in this state.&amp;quot; Basically, unions helped encumber the country into a middle class. Slavery did not do this. Slavery encumbered the country into 650,000 dead Americans. I do not think &amp;quot;encumber&amp;quot; means what Mr. Sullivan thinks it means.
