An interesting article by Ann Coulter
I watched the Wisconsin returns on MSNBC Tuesday night, and it came right down to the wire between the Democrats were outspent 7-to-1″ and Republicans are stripping union rights!
President Obama wanted to go to Wisconsin, but he just didnt have time. Hes been doing so many campaign fundraisers lately he barely has time to play golf.
The lefts outspent argument is ridiculous. Unions take money by force from members, hire hundreds of political operatives and give them salaries to work on campaigns, then call them volunteers so their work isnt reported as a campaign contribution.
Luckily for them, government employees non-punishing work schedules leave them plenty of time to be in a constant state of grievance, demanding recalls after any election they lose, and mobilizing voters.
This election had nothing to do with people being paid a fair wage for the work they do. The question is: Do you want a society where the people whose salaries you pay make more than those who pay them?
The Democrats will do anything the government unions ask, because (1) Its not their money theyre spending, its the taxpayers; and (2) Government unions reciprocate by making sure the Democrats keep getting re-elected.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is about to turn New York into Pottersville from Its a Wonderful Life by legalizing gambling so he can keep paying the unions.
All manufacturing has been driven out of the state by high taxes and by well-compensated government employees who make it impossible to do business in New York. The states principal cash cow, New York City, is now entirely composed of a tiny slice of Wall Streeters and the people who serve them personal trainers, doormen, maids, doctors, lawyers, restaurateurs and Keith Olbermanns cat groomer.
Outside of New York City, everyone works for the government. But theres no actual industry in the state. People are fleeing New York faster than Democrat legislators fled Wisconsin before a vote they were going to lose.
Soon it will be just another mid-range, dying state. If the financial sector ever leaves, New York City will be Detroit, which itself was once the nations crown jewel metropolis...
