The Sunday Corporate Propaganda – Part II - Corporate Media Carpet Bombing

[TomCADem]

The media is starting to sound like a broken record with multiple stories bashing on the public employees. So, ignore the corporate media and its corporate sponsors, and by all means give Republicans a free pass!

You have been brainwashed to blame Democrats and public employees for all the world’s ills. Rather than demand a steady pension or protect social security, the corporate media tells you that you should instead demand that public employees also get put on 401(k)s, so they are just as insure as the private sector.

That’s right! The 2012 GOP Platform will be “Lets all be equally miserable!”

Targeting public unions is unwise, rash and retrograde. That's the take in some quarters on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan to curtail collective bargaining for public-sector unions in his state, Wisconsin.

In a tone reminiscent of a Madison professor pouring cold water over an ill-judged dissertation, President Barack Obama recently admonished: "It's important not to vilify them or suggest somehow all these budget problems are due to public employees." On Salon.com, contributor Stephanie Taylor described Walker's effort to strip away long-standing public-sector bargaining rights as "a step backward, not forward, in the march of American progress."


Such analysis has it backward. Walker's decision to reduce public-union powers isn't rash. It is overdue. Teacher pensions do weigh down state budgets, both in Wisconsin and the other 49 states. And Walker's move won't necessarily hurt his career. It may catapult him to the national stage, or even the presidency.

As for the gubernatorial campaign to end collective bargaining for his own employees, it may benefit the average worker across the country. That's what happened in 1919 when another unknown Republican governor, Calvin Coolidge, stood firm in Massachusetts against a strong union representing government workers.

Yeah, we all want to return to the glorious days of the 1920s, when the nation was speeding towards a stock market crash and the Great Depression, without an adequate social safety net to respond to the same. :sarcasm:
