NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.
If this was corrupt collusion between businesses and union bosses, as has
often been the case with some unions such as SEIU, then the only victims
would be union members. But this is corrupt collusion between union
bosses and politicians, exchanging public money for political support.
And not letting go even when the public is bleeding red and there’s
literally no more money to give.
It means that unions get paid, while
state tax refunds to the public are delayed. Because the unions are
always at the head of the line. When Governor Schwarzenegger tried to
temporarily cut worker pay, State Controller
John Chiang refused to comply. Chiang was also the man who decided
that working families could wait for their tax refunds. And it’s no
wonder because John Chiang, the man with hands on the purse, was also
elected by the same unions he’s pandering to. California unions spent
millions to put Chiang in place and more to keep reelecting him.
How long can the system go on before it breaks down? That doesn’t really
matter. Because the man at the top in Washington D.C. also got there
through union backing. And ObamaCare exempts unions, but forces ordinary
Americans to buy into a health care system whose contracts are negotiated
to benefit unions. It’s a safe bet that Barack Obama won’t let Jerry
Brown, John Chiang and their unions go under. Because his own reelection
campaign depends on it. Money sent to California unions, is also money
sent to the Campaign to Reelect Barack Obama. But it’s also a safe bet
that the California taxpayers won’t just be the only ones hit with the
bill. California may default on its debts, state bonds may prove
worthless and the federal government may go on covering whatever
entitlements funding is needed, but sooner or later the system will still
break down. It will just be a national system, rather than a state
one.
Political machines have robbed states and cities blind before, but in the
19th century they did not have access to a massive federal budget on this
scale. Even President Martin Van Buren, a Tammany Hall man, could not
command the kind of wealth and credit that Barack Obama does. President
Buchanan might have helped cover up a murder by Congressman Sickles, one
of his Tammany Hall favorites, who had been engaged in blatant corruption
using government money, but even accounting for inflation, he could have
never overseen a fraud and theft of this magnitude.
The
Pigford settlement alone makes Tammany Hall’s worst crimes seem like
small change, and yet it’s far from the most notable misuse of money by
this congress or administration.
Politicians and bureaucrats could and did steal, but there was a limit
and scope to their theft. Those who stole too much would usually be
brought down before they caused too much damage, and drove an outraged
public to cut off the pipeline. Tammany Hall’s leadership was repeatedly
purged in just that fashion. But while the current union system is
essentially a legal version of the old Tammany Hall system, in which
municipal employees were obligated to pay “the ring” for their jobs, it
has no more limits. Not even the bankruptcy of the system that it feeds
off.
When the union is isolated enough and the public is desperately trying to
make ends meet, then the unions may lose. That’s what happened with the
teacher’s union in New Jersey. But when the unions are big enough and
feed off a huge membership that knows it has no choice but to vote union,
and the unions are closely tied up with an entitlements dependent
electorate, then the system may be irreparable. And that is what happened
in California. You can’t fix a system like that, not without taking on
millions of people who are robbing it blind. And that’s not an election,
it’s a civil war.
In his own time as governor of New York and police commissioner of New
York City, Theodore Roosevelt could not succeed in cleaning it up. And
his many times removed cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt turned New York
City’s corruption into a national standard with the New Deal. Together
with Tammany Hall’s New York Senator Wagner, their National Labor
Relations Act turned to compulsory unionization as a means of forcing
workers into supporting the Democratic party, whether they wanted to or
not. And by doing so, Wagner and FDR began the process of reclaiming the
unions from the Communist party and organized crime, and integrating them
into the nationwide structure of the Democratic party.
FDR and Wagner were both New York politicians with a ground floor view on
how its dirty politics worked. And the NLRB was not about worker
representation, but about money and political power. It favored large
unions with political affiliations, destroying small unions, and taking a
Northeastern urban alliance between the political machine and the union
bosses as its model. The workers were no longer being beaten by goons
hired by their employers and the political machine’s police. Now they
were being beaten by goons hired by the union bosses and the political
machine’s police. Organized crime had always worked both sides of the
aisle, playing for the highest bidder. The NLRB showed organized crime
that unions were the future and industry was the past. But the
politicians were ahead of them.
The union became a parasite and union jobs either went south or were
outsourced. But the public sector union remained a tick fixed on the
bloodstream of the public. You didn’t have to be a factory owned to be
drained by them. You didn’t need to own a single share of stock. All you
had to do was live and pay taxes in an area where public sector unions
had gripped in their claws. The intersection of entitlements and public
sector unions and political machines meant that money was being exchanged
for political support, and the people outraged were not the ones that
politicians cared about. They still made a show of driving a hard
bargain, but more often they showed up at union conferences to loud
cheers. Their old electorate paid taxes. Their new electorate gobbled
them.
And that brings us back to 2011 where the oppressed worker is now the
taxpayer, whose income and future are being garnished by unions. The poor
man standing out in the rain is not the union employee, but the man
waiting to collect another check, that will be torn apart and consumed by
union bosses and politicians. Who will then protect those workers the
people, from the unions?
