Hello,



The EU, and member governments ideology is more extreme than in the US....

I doubt that. The only place more extreme than this Hell hole is Iran or
maybe that 'stan where they boil people in oil. We are fed propaganda
and jingoism all day long. We are offered the same mediocre product with
4 different labels and we think we have a choice. Help.

"In principle, every American citizen has an equal say in our political
process. In practice, of course, some of us are more equal than others.
Billionaires can field armies of lobbyists; they can finance think tanks
that put the desired spin on policy issues; they can funnel cash to
politicians with sympathetic views (as the Koch brothers did in the case
of Mr. Walker). On paper, we’re a one-person-one-vote nation; in
reality, we’re more than a bit of an oligarchy, in which a handful of
wealthy people dominate.

Given this reality, it’s important to have institutions that can act as
counterweights to the power of big money. And unions are among the most
important of these institutions.

You don’t have to love unions, you don’t have to believe that their
policy positions are always right, to recognize that they’re among the
few influential players in our political system representing the
interests of middle- and working-class Americans, as opposed to the
wealthy. Indeed, if America has become more oligarchic and less
democratic over the last 30 years — which it has — that’s to an
important extent due to the decline of private-sector unions."

Seeing as the new plan has not yet been implemented, this would presume
that you are referring to what we have 'today' -- Medicare -- which does
NOT deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

If you are referring to the new, not yet implemented universal health
care, one of the widely touted features of this plan is that you would
NOT be denied coverage if you had a pre-existing condition.

DP, what you say seems contradictory, could you please 'splain yourself...

No 'poppycock' at all. The Wisconsin unions offered financial cuts and
give-backs towards their pensions and health care, but the governor
rejected their offer out of hand.

In the governor's case, the finances had nothing to do with his agenda;
he -does- want to get rid of collective bargaining. The guv wants to
bust unions, pure and simple.

Steve, from your posts here, you appear to be just a little guy, not a
wealthy individual. Why are you so hell-bent on giving away the store to
Big Business?


The Simple Fact is that All Employ Benefits* should
be on the Same 50%/50% "PAR" as Social Security

50% Paid by the Employer =&= 50% Paid by the Employee
* Retirement
* Health Coverage & Insurance
* Life Insurance
* Disability Insurance
* etc etc etc . . .

Tax Golden Benefit Union Employees as Excessive
Income that the Employer Pays More Than 50%

Government Employees Benefits Should Be The
Same As Regular Hard Working Average American
Tax Payers :
* Fairness For One Is Fairness For All
* Equality For One Is Equality For All
* End The Excesses of Big Government Give-A-Ways
* Government Employees Work For The People
{The People Do Not Exist To Be Taxed Into Slavery To
Support Excessive Benefits For Government Employees}

Sustainable Benefits =&= Sustainable Taxes ~ RHF
{A Just Society =&= A Justly Taxed Society}
