The battle is, and has always been, capital vs. labor.
It’s stunning how the capitalists have managed to brainwash so many people into doing their bidding, and voting against their own interests.[/quote]
The public sector unions and their bought and paid for politicians push for non-stop tax increases on the private sector to support the unions lavish pay and benefits.
How are private sector workers “brainwashed” or “voting against their own interests” for wanting to keep their tax rates low?[/quote]
And the corporatists/capitalists have their bought and paid-for politicians fighting for those same tax dollars. Taxpayers subsidize their illegal labor by providing for their childrens’ education (that includes those “lavish benefits”), and the healthcare, public infrastructure costs, etc. associated with this labor. We also pay because our wages are driven down by this illegal labor, and our quality of life suffers as many of our cities are taken over by illegal gangs and drug cartels — let’s not forget all the costs associated with that mess, as well.
We also pay for their tax breaks and tax credits of various sorts.
We also pay when there are “deals” made between developers and politicians that result in roads or highways being directed through areas owned by certain “donors,” or when we buy tremendously overpriced land from certain “donors,” or when we build other types of infrastructure that disproportionately favor certain “donors.”
We also pay when we sell public assets to favored parties at very reduced prices.
We pay an awful lot to those people who have twisted the truth and convinced people that the divide is between public and private workers. They know that labor has the greater numbers, and that labor has the power to hold them accountable. They also know that, for as long as they keep us divided, they can continue with their looting.
