Part of the story this weekend that got very little notice was the endorsement by unions for the Obama-style healthcare plan. Unions like the sound of everyone having the same healthcare for everyone – which fits their mentality of equality of wages, hours, etc. regardless of the work done. All this ‘redistribution of wealth’ talk plays right into the power zone of unions. It’s what they have been preaching for years.
But is it the equality issue that is attractive about the Obama-style healthcare plan? Or is it their greed? (Gasp!! Greed on the part of unions? How could it be?) They looking at being able to dump the people they are responsible for providing healthcare for on the government and still collecting the same amount of dues from members and money for administration of healthcare and retirement plans from companies.
Did you REALLY think unions suddenly became altruistic? Get real…
The unions are thinking they can still bring in the same amount of dues and take in the contractual monies companies have to pay for their employees and STILL dump their people on the public system. That creates this massive slush fund for unions from the residual cash that no longer has to go to health benefits.
And what will they do with it?? Flow it to politicians for election campaigns? Take more trips? Buy influence? The list is endless.
What union MEMBERS have to realize is that they will still have to pay the same amount in dues even if the union dumps their healthcare AND they are going to have to pay the increase in taxes to pay for the public healthcare system as well. It’s called a ‘double whammy.’ But, hey, your union bosses will be able to buy new jets to go to their conventions in Las Vegas – and gamble with YOUR money. And – more importantly - they’ll be able to bring along the politician buddies and they ALL can play together and plan the NEXT way to get their hands in your pockets. Hm… Can anyone say ‘Cap and Trade?” Of course, that will put a lot of you out of work, but what the heck, the union bosses will still have their new jets and their new politician buddies to play with.I wonder how long it will be before the union bosses start going to jail for misappropriating funds…
