Rachel Maddow makes a good case for the real reasons behind the Republican Party’s concerted attack on labor unions: it’s not about budgets or finances, it’s about destroying the sources of Democratic political power.

Well, on the bright side at least it’s a rational and well thought out plan. At least it’s not batshit insane conspiracies about Jewish mind control. We’ll see how this pans out but the union busting doesn’t seem to be terribly popular.
Poll: 61% oppose limiting union bargaining power

The poll found that 61% would oppose a law in their state similar to one being considered in Wisconsin, compared with 33% who would favor such a law.

Republicans are free to pursue an anti-union agenda and if voter care enough they’ll vote them out.
