[quote=CA renter][quote=paramount]This case highlights perfectly (and in so many ways) what happens when one political party (and the public employee union thugs who own them) wields total power and tyranny over the citizens of that state.
Absolutely disgusting.[/quote]
Which political party wields total power, paramount? It seems to me that BOTH parties have been bought by corporate/capitalist interests. The police in this incident were defending the “1%” against the “99%” — the party affiliated with the “1%” has historically been the Republican Party…and they are decidedly anti-union and anti-labor.
Note that cops did very little to break up Tea Party rallies (especially after they were co-opted by the right wing republicans), but went all-out at Occupy protests.[/quote]
In California, the dems are absolutely 100% bought and sold by the public employee unions. I don’t know anyone who would dispute that fact.
There is no one in Sacramento to stop the dems. They (dems) absolutely work for the public employee unions that’s why thug cops are retiring young as multi-millionaires.
The republicans are persona non grata in Sacramento and as such useless in stopping the Karen Bass agenda (still in play).
Let me be clear, I am not a republican at all.
But I get that gov’t works best when there are at least (2) opposing forces – even if that means shutting down the govt.
Where balance of power is absent you get Obama care and city manager’s making more than the president.
I do understand that both major parties are akin to the mafia.
