So now Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and many other Democrats are supporting the state employee unions in Wisconsin. So what exactly is the Democrat message? Here are some possibilities:
1. Wisconsin taxpayers should pay exorbitant state salaries and benefits, even if it means the state continues to bleed red ink and become increasingly insolvent.
2. Unions are sacrosanct (because they are major supporters of the Democrat Party) and you must pay them whatever they wish, whether you can afford it or not. Go without, suffer poverty, get taxed until you bleed, but continue to pay those exorbitant benefits regardless of the pain it causes the majority of taxpayers.
3. The Democrat Party is indeed "the Party of Something for Nothing," because the real purpose of labor unions is to blackmail management into paying workers more than they're worth. Government supported labor unions are just another means of "redistributing the wealth," from those who earn it to those who do not.
4. The Democrat Party stands firmly, now and forever, for fiscal irresponsibility, for spending far more than you take in, for things you don't really need and which have little or no value, or could be easily replaced with cheaper and more effective alternatives (e.g., hiring outside firms through a bid process to do better and cheaper what overpaid state employees now do).
5. Or to put it more succinctly, RED INK, CONFISCATORY TAXATION, GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY, GOVERNMENT INEFFICIENCY AND UNION BLACKMAIL. Now there's a slogan we can all get behind! I am so inspired!
The State Democrat Senators fled Wisconsin to thwart the will of the people as expressed by their newly elected Governor and state legislators. The Democrat President of the United States through his minions, including but not limited to Organizing for America and the Democratic National Committee are attempting to thwart the will of the people of Wisconsin as expressed by their newly elected Governor and state legislators.
ReplyDeleteAnd thus a new Political Movement was Born "Democrats Against Democracy"
AW, I have long noted that the Democrats are misnamed. The anti-Democrats would be more fitting.
ReplyDeleteAbout Point 1: I would add "until taxpayers go personally bankrupt and public employees get no salary at all."
