Cuomo (D) will spend $4 mill to fight unions; corp profits = all-time high but unions are the prob?
Edited on Wed Nov-24-10 06:07 PM by Hannah Bell
Corporate profits are the highest ever.

But Little Andy Cuomo thinks unions are the problem with the country.

He says he'll spend $4 million to combat any union media campaign to fight his school budget cuts, public sector layoffs, and cuts to government worker benefits and pensions.

Because he thinks that taxes are too high - on corporations.

Exactly how much do the corporatists who run this country need?

How much does Cuomo think they need?

At what point will the middle and working classes fight back against these corporate shills?

For that matter, at what point will the unions fight back against these corporate shills.

15% of the country own 80% of the wealth.

The problem with this country isn't unions or pensions or Social Security or teacher salaries.

The problems is corporations are literally stealing the country from under us and the politicians - wholly owned shills of these corporations - continue to do their bidding.

5. Great way to lose your base, Andrew.
And make yourself a one-termer.

Your dad would never approve.

6. He's all for charter schools too...

No surprise there; I see a little hope in that Bobbie Kennedy jr. bit his family pride and is on Cuomo's transition team... but this is like the national situation on a statewide scale...NY does tend to be more vocal...

on edit, K&R of course...

7. Bobbie Jr likes charter schools
I heard him talking about them a year or so ago.

He lost me when he claimed vaccines cause autism.

10. Proud to say I did not vote
for Cuomo, went for one of the other parties on the ballot. This guy is bad news, he isn't his father.
