Three Hurrah's for the New Corporate Vision

Here is an interesting post from the blog Cognitive Dissidence:

Is This What They Really Want?

As Scott Walker's numbers are dropping faster than a rock, the Koch Brothers are kicking in more money to support their favorite marionette.

In the latest assault on our intelligence, one of the myriad of Koch-funded front groups, this time the Club for Growth, has a misleading radio ad which points to the sacrifices of the union members who work at places like Harley Davidson and Mercury Marine.

But is this really the examples they want to cite?

While Harley workers gave up so much, their CEO was walking around with a whopping $6.5 million, and that was just in one year!

And the story of Mercury Marine is even worse. Not only did the workers get the short end of the stick from Mercury, but the tax payers also took a bath in supporting just this one company. And as with Harley, it was the executives and board members that walked away, laughing all the way to the bank.

So is this what the right wingers are really pushing, that we deny ourselves a decent wage, safe work conditions, and our self-respect, just to become corporate serfs? No wonder they have to lie, cheat and steal to get anywhere with this unethical maneuvering from the Republicans.
