...a friend of mine sent me a dialog he had on Saturday with a door knocker supporting Governor Dayton's agenda. It is instructive in the way the public dialog has evolved. The real events have disappeared in an unwavering zeal of "tax the richest 2%":

Today (6/25) I had a chance to talk with a SEIU Person in her mid 20’s who was canvassing a neighborhood. Her start off pitch was the extreme high pay/bonuses the top CEO’s receive and the large stockpiles of money companies are holding onto. It would really help the economy and the Union people if that money was spent.

funny no one seems to talk about the salaries and perks of top Union leaders... or heads of NGO’s like Sierra Club, Humane Society, etc.

“With bigger membership rolls came bigger coffers, and with bigger coffers came irresistible temptations.

Freeman, the L.A. Times discovered, had piped $600,000 in union contracts to his wife’s video production and entertainment ventures. The local also paid his mother-in-law $8,000 a month to babysit his daughter and other union employees’ children; footed a $13,000 bill for membership at a Beverly Hills cigar club; covered $12,500 in tabs at upscale Morton’s restaurant in Burbank; and forked over $8,000 in union dues to cover expenses for Freeman’s Hawaiian wedding. Freeman’s spending orgy didn’t end there.”

The only way these SEIU types actually learn about economics and tax policy is to go through a Communist tyranny and collapse like that of the Russia/Soviet Union experience.

Unfortunately that new found economic wisdom usually ends, along with their lives, at the collective farm, reeducation camp, or gulag.
