"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
State-Privileged Union Shake-Down
The money quote: "[UAW President Ron] Gettelfinger said at the midday press conference that the union is ready to discuss the company's key bargaining goal of shifting an estimated $51 billion in healthcare expenses for retirees and their family members to union-controlled trust funds." (Emphasis is mine.) United Auto Workers is a clear example of the statist-variety unionism that is designed to redistribute wealth from workers/consumers to yet another wing of the statist ruling class: The Union Bosses and their assorted lackeys in the so-called "private sector."
