The blurred messaging of WI, IN, NJ and OH and the Unions


In 1892 the necessity of unions was demonstrated beyond any doubt and the near consonance of political thought about collective bargaining was shown in the response.

At that time owners, plant managers and other top level executives lived fat lives and workers were warm, interchangeable production parts, whose main value was low cost (sort of how Nike looked at Indonesian workers thru at least the 90’s).

Now, today, desperate (fat) executives try to make any deal using corrupt banks’ sly financial products (the bonus on which is paid immediately) they can, to keep the lines moving despite the (fat) unions and THEIR (fatter) executives who have a choke hold over high value shrinking US production in the private sphere, as foreign (probably exploited) warm, interchangeable production parts make more STUFF at much lower pricing.

In the public sphere, with states which cannot declare bankruptcy like GM, the public unions extort the state to collect dues in a compulsory fashion so that the bank can be used to support elected officials who are not just malleable to union demands, but in fact are PART OF THE PROCESS of granting the unions more and more dues.

But a funny thing happened in the broke and destitute indebted states of NJ, IN, WI and OH.

The responses have been edifying.

The president, whose inveighing against property is historic could not keep his mouth shut (something he found easy during collective protests in Iran and in Libya). Dems LITERALLY ran for the hills. In MA a congressman with a (D) after his name called to get into the unionized streets to ‘get a little bloody’.

The AFL-CIO’s Trumpka thinks that people who are trying to avoid a terrorist dictatorship need his approval since he represents progressive goodness.

The Teacher’s Union (which also compels dues to be take from teacher’s checks rather than like a church or synagogue SOLICIT DUES) proudly prates about their purpose not being successful education, or ANY kind of same, but POWER as objective national scoring is flat AT BEST.

Why do I think men like Henry Jackson, HHH, LBJ, JFK, HST and FDR, all champions of collective bargaining would blanch?

What is different about today’s breed of democrat who caterwauls at factual complaints about some of Obama’s plans being dangerous while having called the previous occupant Chimpymchalliburton Bushitler in every imaginable way, venue, and with great and righteous venality?

What is the difference between Nancy Pelosi and Sam Rayburn? Alben Barkley and Harry Reid?

What would John L Lewis say about Andrew Stern?

The states are BROKE and the unions will NOT GIVE UP THE INSTRUMENT BY WHICH THEY HAVE CRACKED OPEN THE MIND OF THE TAXPAYERS (their ‘right’ to extort pensions and health benefits via collective force).

The lively and peaceful demonstrations aside, the questionable polls aside, the people of WI, NJ, OH, and IN took part last Nov in an inarguable poll in which they demanded an END. Nomatter HOW MANY appear in the streets of Madison WI and where they came from, the majority of the people on WI are represented already as the result of a free election.

And while no one can vote away the ‘right’ of the a worker to bargain as a group, in fact, all the voters demanded by electing the people they did was to remove the ABILITY of the that unionized group to destroy the LARGER GROUP’S (the people of the the states) ABILITY TO ORGANIZE.

The unions do not have the right to destroy the state.

THAT IS THE ISSUE.

Alexis de Toqueville remarked on how when the voters realized they could vote themselves the treasury, IT WOULD BE OVER.

This is what that looks like.
