The Poster Girl for American Governance

Here is the poster girl for American governance, circa 2012:


 
This is unionized government.  Here are Karen Lewis’ key credentials –

·         D  emocrat
·         U  nion
·         M  inority
·         B  ureaucratic

Go to any of America’s larger states, larger cities, larger counties and you will find either this exact combination or a close proximity thereto demanding something from taxpayers for non taxpayers.  Her selling pitch?   Well, you’ve heard it:  helping the kids; moving forward; who built it/who didn’t; equal opportunity; level the playing field for all and don’t balance the budget on the backs of the poor.

Karen runs a union filled with minorities and democrats (if you are black it is one and the same) and their version of democracy is a tad different than the principles of the declaration of independence and the constitution.  They exist in states that force union membership and force collective bargaining and force feed their contracts on politicians and bureaucrats who share their common traits.  In the process, democracy goes out the window and bureaucratic government prevails.  In Illinois where Karen rules the roost, the taxpayer has no voice – none – the system is locked down – democracy left years ago.  It has been replaced with unionized government employees (bureaucrats) who are overwhelmingly democrats.

Karen and her friends now are American governance in many of America’s largest states, cities and counties.

Don’t ask again why America has fallen way behind its competitors who really are moving forward.  No need.  Just print the picture above – place it prominently in your home – this is where your money goes and this is who leads America today.
