DISMANTLING OF AMERICA

Wisconsin and other states that are attacking American labor are just the next thing in a long line of things the GOP are trying to do to put America back 100 years.

Taking away bargaining rights of public sector unions is basically a way to stop unions from donating money to their opponents. The GOP doesn’t have a problem letting business donate any amount of money. In fact now we have GOP operatives soliciting the very rich so they can give money anonymous to selected candidates.

OSHA: A government agency that looks out for workers safety in the work place. The GOP wants to cut their budget 18% this year, and more next. Of course business doesn't want any regulations. Workers are looked at as a disposable resource.

NLRB: A government agency that looks out for unfair labor practices. A bill in congress was just defeated to defund it. I do have to say 60 Republicans went against their leadership to help defeat it. Business again would like to do away with this agency.

EPA: The agency that tries to keep our country from going back to the past when are rivers and air were so polluted that some of the rivers were called dead rivers. They have come back to life with the support of the EPA. The GOP is looking to defund this agency or kill the agency altogether. Business would love to go back to polluting with no restrictions. The GOP has no problem giving the oil subsidies in the amount of 4 billion dollars.

We have GOP Governors who want to do away with Child Labor Laws. The Governor of Michigan wants a law that says he can take over any town or city in Michigan if he deems it necessary and replace the elected officials with his people. The Governor of Pennsylvania wants a law where he appoints 1 man to oversee any regulation or permit application process. He can award any business a permit if he thinks its okay, even if the agency that is supposed award permits says it’s not going to give it out.

These same people want to make it harder to vote. They claim there is so much voter fraud. They never have anything to back up this

Finally, they seem to think cutting the education budget in their states is a good thing. Well maybe it is if you keep the electorate uneducated they might believe all this nonsense.
