On the American workers' big government, big union cage, their new robber barons, and the angry blathering left

AJStrata, on the American workers' new robber barons - the left and their blathering slander ... and where their path takes America:

Look at the liberal response to relieving government employees from mandatory union dues, instead requiring said workers to pay into their individual health and retirement plans. In essence, the union member has to pay more for their individual benefits, but they are no longer required to fund a union who may not deserve their money. Individual vs union ... and the union went bonkers at the fact their gravy train was now their responsibility. The only thing the union did not offer up as a compromise was the collection of dues by the government. Everything else was on the table at one point or another. The new robber barons were exposed.

Look at the response to the Ryan plan! Obama says we are trading tax breaks for the rich for medicine for grandma -- even though these two things are completely distinct and not connected whatsoever. Medicare and Medicaid are funded by the FICA payroll deductions -- which have income caps on them. The rich NEVER pay the same percentage into these entitlements as the poor. The poor and middle class have 100% of their income taxed for these programs, but the rich have only a small fraction applied (the first $107K in SALARY!). For millionaires they see 10% or less of their income hit for these programs. ...

... the inept left, afraid of the quintessential, self-sufficient, American individual has succumbed to all out lies and slander. Obama's budget speech this week was an hour long and vacuous screed against his straw men demons in his mind. There was no reality in it -- none. His false choices have become worn out, tired and pathetic -- just like the rest of the far left. They fear a brave new world that relies on the individual and the community, and shuns the centralized buffoonery of big government (where the only competition is to work long enough to retire).
