Here’s Another One
In another Right-Wing Power Grab, Schwarzenegger and the Republicans want to curb union contributions or actions:
Proposition 75 would require public employee unions to seek written permission from members before using dues for political purposes.
Another Republican play at a Democratic power base, under the guise of “fairness.”
They want fairness? First issue a law prohibiting corporations from using any corporate funds for political purposes unless they get written permission from stockholders. Yeah, like that’s gonna happen. It’s kinda hard to think of what other way Republicans can steal power–redistricting, impeachment, recalls, court manipulation, and outright election fraud and theft… some say that the Republicans took only 10 years in power to become as corrupt as the Democrats did in 40 years, but quite frankly I find it difficult to believe that the Democrats were anywhere near this corrupt.
Gee, how can Schwarzenegger be so sure that unions won’t be giving money to him?
If they are going to speak of fairness they should start with bargaining power: Corporations are collectives and should be subject to collective bargaining. Period. Then they should move on to the tax code.
