Just Pathetic

The dems are in the process of paying back their supporters with the coin of public power. Despite what the lovely and talented UBlo would say, I know full well that both parties do this. I also know full well the only remedy is a vastly weaker government that doesn't have enough power to sell to make corruption worth any one's while. But on to the article...

The author said the "house OKs bill easing union organizing" and goes on to say that the bill makes it easier to form unions against the "companies' wishes". That's a nice, simple description making it clear that Robin Hood just took from the rich and gave to the poor. Too bad this framing of the story is bogus. What the house really did was remove a protection from workers who don't want to organize. I hope this isn't news to any of our sophisticated readers, but unions can be pretty ugly in their tactics. Intimidation is very often part and parcel of the union-forming process. An excellent solution to this is a secret ballot to determine if a shop will unionize. No one can intimidate you if they can't know how you voted. Well, the Democrats just took this protection away from the working man and their comrade in the press (Mr. Jim Abrams) just spun the story to say that the Party of the Working Man stuck it to the company and not the workers. With this kind of blatant, cynical pandering going on at all levels of government, I'm surprised anyone votes.
