Why the Unions Support ObamaCare

Union support for ObamaCare is obvious: they provide thugs, placards, "volunteers", busses to transport members all over the countryside to agitate, phone-banks, emails--you name it.

There's good reason for that, too.



See, when union members find out that their 'leaders' have screwed up their health-trust-funds, union members might become PO'd. A LOT of PO'd. And since unions are good at thuggery, those "leaders" are justifiably concerned about their longevity in office.

Much easier to have the taxpayers bail them out, no?

Actually, the unions need the "public office" since they keep voting their jobs away.

The health care crisis is fueled by the fact that there's just too much scandal to go around on all sides of the issue.

Make no mistake, folks, this plan bears no resemblance to the Canadian system.

Yes, the Canuckistani system isn't free from problems and is widely misunderstood. But I lived there and have some idea of how it works (and doesn't). That system could never fly here because ours is way too far gone.

In some ways that's unfortunate because, at a minimum, one thing the Canadian system allows is the ability of small business to compete for talent by spreading the health care costs.

Obamacare is just another way to perpetuate present day corruption.
