So you're a liberal member of the 1 percent, and you've decided to wrest control of the Democratic agenda from change-averse insiders. You want to free the capital from the grip of powerful interest groups. You want to inspire a new set of policies to help America meet the challenges of a fast-transforming economy. Where do you turn for leadership and innovation?

To the teachers union, of course!

At least that's how it seems to have played out at the Democracy Alliance, the group of superrich Democrats who have funneled more than half a billion dollars into liberal groups over the past decade. Earlier this month, the alliance announced that John Stocks, executive director of the National Education Association, would become the chairman of its board.

It’s THEIR status quo now.

Yep. They are the hidebound statists. We are the revolutionaries now. And our cry is “LIBERTY!”

Now that the commie libs have stolen all of the conservatives’ money, being rich is a good thing. Limousine commie libs.
