Politics
A new poll shows that labor unions are detested in, of all places, Michigan. Maybe that has something to do with with that state's economy and their effort to recall the governor who aims to reverse it.
Government/Labor Union Collusion
Detroit, industrial capital of the XXth Century, played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment. In 1967, social tensions exploded into one of the most violent urban riots in American history. The population exodus accelerated and whole neighborhoods began to vanish. Outdated downtown buildings emptied. Within fifty years Detroit lost more than half of its population.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker signed into law last year a measure that abolished most collective bargaining rights for most public employees and required them to pay a greater share of their pension and health care costs. Gee … what a concept!
He has also signed into law a voter identification measure that requires people to present a form of photo identification such as a passport or driver’s license when they show up to vote. Now there’s another novel concept!
For Democrats and union members those actions made Walker the most infamous Republican in the nation. Walker’s collective bargaining measure sparked furious, weeks-long protests in the state capitol in Madison last winter, at one point leading Democratic lawmakers to flee to Illinois in an attempt to deny a quorum and prevent enactment of the law. In the near future the state votes on a Democrat recall attempt.
Unions Would Recall Scott Walker For His Success
Thuggery: Backed by a massive, well-financed Big Labor machine, the Democratic Party is determined to reverse the democratic election of Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker. His crime? … Fixing his state economy.
Once upon a time, folks had to wait for the next election if they didn’t like the results of an incumbent’s actions. Nowadays they just “throw the bum out” at the earliest opportunity. I guess the good people of Wisconsin don’t talk much to their neighbors in Michigan on the other side of the lake! I’m betting that if they are successful, the downstream results will be a lot like “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”. [think Michigan]
Hmmmmm ….. on second thought, they may have something there. Maybe we should follow their lead and throw out Obama, “The Great Divider”.
