California Democrats Pass Colossal Big Labor Giveaway Forcing Taxpayers To Subsidize Union Activism.
Democratic lawmakers in California passed a colossal taxpayer giveaway to allied interest groups this summer just months before the November midterms.
In June, the Democratic supermajority in Sacramento approved the “Workers Tax Fairness Credit,” a first-of-its-kind subsidy for union dues allowing unionized employees to claim state dollars for membership.
Max Nelson, the director of labor policy at the free-market conservative think tank Freedom Foundation, described the legislation as a “bold” mechanism to expand union membership and empower state-sponsored speech.
“Taxpayers are being compelled by the force of state law to pay people to pay unions,” Nelson said.
Big labor groups may also claim the benefits for themselves, where raising dues to cover the difference offered by the tax credit would enrich union leadership who dictate organizations’ political contributions.
WELL, OF COURSE: Democrats Dangerously Copy The Tactics Of Famous Fascists.
Most people know about the Nazis, WWII, and the Jews. What many don’t realize however is that the Nazis didn’t start out as the merchants of death they became. They started out as anti-middle class, anti-capitalist, and anti-communist, with a relatively tangential focus on anti-Semitism. Their roots, though, fertilized their monomaniacal future.
For all its efforts in the 1920s, the Nazi party attracted few adherents. It was only in the early 1930s that it began to gain traction, using the economic ruin from the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression to gain power.
While nationalism and anti-Semitism were always part of Naziism’s agenda, it was the post-war economic disaster that was the golden ticket for a party arguing the Germans were suffering under the boot of oppression. The Nazis promised to remove the shackles and reenergize the German economy. As a result, in 1932 they won the largest share of seats in parliament (36%), and Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933.
Once in power, the gloves came off. The Reichstag fire in February 1933 was used as a premise to target political opponents and curtail civil liberties. A month later, Parliament passed the Enabling Act, allowing Hitler’s cabinet to make laws without legislative participation. In June 1933, Nazis outlawed opposition parties and, in December, the lines between party and government were erased. In January 1934, the Nazis eliminated the last vestiges of opposition when states lost their voice in government.
