NEWS MEDIA BOUGHT - BY BLOOMBERG!

Those of us with the ability to read between the lines - in newspaper text
or the words of a radio or TV news announcer - see how easily the media can
and have been bought. After all, these "news reports" are SPONSORED SHOWS,
not objective information sources, and all depend on their advertisers'
continuing business for their income. The more an advertiser spends, the
more the publication or media station will do to avoid alienating them - or
to suck up to them.

Media bias favoring Billionaire Bloomberg is often subtle, but is clearly
there if you look for it. And why not? Have you any idea how many millions
of dollars Bloomberg has spent on campaign ads, mostly negative against his
rival, Democrat Bill Thompson?

A few days ago the AM radio news stations headlined the endorsement of
Bloomberg by the PBA, but didn't even mention endorsements for Thompson by
the Fire Department and Sanitation unions. Bloomberg it seems shafted those
union members when their contracts were under negotiation, but like his
police-state predecessor in office, and the super-wealthy in general,
Bloomberg wants the cops on his side, and treats them accordingly. Even
President Obama's endorsement.of Thompson received little or no mention in
the Bloomberg-bought media.

The interests of working and middle class New Yorkers are reflected in their
labor unions. The police union endorsement of Republican Billionaire
Bloomberg tells us he is the favorite of those preferring a police-state
approach to "democracy." No surprise that Billionaire Bloomberg and his
multi-millionaire friend Tyrant Ghouliani are so mutually supportive - "one
hand washes the other," as corporate criminals love to say. Have either of
these Republicans protected the public from their corporate criminals?

Bloomberg's arrogant, elitist concept of "democracy" is that money alone
talks and the voters don't count beyond how many he can dupe into voting for
him. Thus he slapped us in the face by overturning the term limits that
prohibited him from running for mayor again - term limits that we the voters
TWICE said, at the polls, that we wanted to remain in place! But of course
this fact is pretty much ignored by Bloomberg's media - one of those facts
they would rather the public forget, in the interests of Billionaire
Bloomberg's continuing profitable patronage.

RESTORE DEMOCRACY TO NEW YORK -
VOTE BILL THOMPSON FOR MAYOR!

Did you know union money buys a lot of politicians? Did you know
teachers and health care workers unions spend the most to buy NY
politicians? Do you see the connection between unions and costly
mediocre service?

To see the truth of how they think, look at how they

treat the least of us, to see how much they care about the
rest of us.

I know quite well there have been corrupt unions, but usually it is only a
few in their management that are corrupt, not the membership as a whole. I
see a far greater cause-effect connection between management greed and
costly or poor services, than can be attributed to the union membership.
Unions are the best tool that honest workers have to assure they get proper
compensation for their work. Republicans like Billionaire Bloomberg would,
if allowed to, DESTROY those unions - or render them powerless.

The proper compensation can better be determined by market forces than
political force. When they influence the promulgation of laws
unionized people have simply organized themselves for greed or
corruption. Whenever market forces are corrupted by laws isn't it to
benefit some at the expense of others?

Laws steal choices.  They make you obey. It’s like being told where to
sit on the bus. Laws make you do things you would not want to do if
you were free. In today’s political environment all other political
parties legislate to prohibit and limit choices for some people and
mandate the choices of others. Was it meant to be this way? What can
be more valuable than choice? What do you have when you have no
choice?

Without collective bargaining, the typical worker is POWERLESS.
Unions came about to get the worker fair compensation for his or her work..
Without protective legislation and collective bargaining, we would have a
large percentage of the population living in minimum-wage near-slavery, and
an elite class of super-weathy exploiters. The exploiters would have a
police-state empowered to protect them. Remember the French Revolution - or
has that been deleted from the history books in the schools that serve the
rulers?



So when union workers have a police state to protect them all is OK?
Check out Detroit.

I once liked the Libertarian viewpoint, and still agree with some of its

agenda of white-collar corpserate criminals and super-wealthy exploiters.
Protective laws are NEEDED to protect us from these.

Labor unions never have had much in the way of government support or
protection in America, especially under right-wing Republican-Conservative
administrations. We have government by the rich for the rich, and the
corpserations that have far more influence than the people that pay the
taxes have a vested interest in suppressing the interests of labor.

Now you need to recognize that when union workers get more they take
it from customers who must pay more. Customers prefer to pay less.
What is beneficial to union members is no less detrimental to their
customers than higher profits. Customers have to pay for both.

Lots of libertarians were once Dems. I have no statistics, but I think
most of them were.
