We must ask ourselves why in the hell does American Legislative Exchange Council inspired corporate America want to own government programs that they spend so much time and money convincing we taxpayers our great government programs are evil and do not work? BIG PROFITS inspired with our tax dollars. Of course taxes will increase once the corporate giants take over to cover the cost of campaign contributions, obscene CEO wages,bonus packages,golden parachutes and medical coverage for the rest of their lives. This isn't management or a fiscally responsible action. This is a big game of pretend. This right wing American Legislative Exchange Council Party knows nothing about management yet seem to know all about destroying an economy. And destroying employment. What does the American Legislative Exchange Council Party have on their agenda? --- http://www.salon.com/2015/07/31/sec...hristian_reconstructionism/?source=newsletter --- http://www.motherjones.com/politics...candidate-training-recruiting-aegis-strategic --- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-van-roekel/exposing-alecs-agenda-to-_b_3223651.html
this is like the easiest question in the world to answer... they spend so much, because just like UNIONS, they want power and control over other people... its that simple... neither side want to do whats "right" for the people, they want to do whats "right" for them gaining power and control in their ideology... nothing complex... nothing hard to understand... nothing to confuse... its all a power grab by all these organizations on both sides... thee end.
ALEC spends lots of money to convince us that social programs spend lots of money. But ALEC is more dangerous than just this fact alone. ALEC proposes agenda-driven legislation and has a document that Congresspeople must sign to guarantee their vote.
Yet the right wing neoliberal sources would not touch it, with a ten foot poll. And not because it is not factual. But because it shines light on the oligarchy. So when the Princeton Study showed 10 years of gov't policy that only favored the elites, giving evidence we are an oligarchy, not a real republic, amazingly MSM and right wing media never covered the biggest story since 9-11. For the people are not to be informed that the men they put into office do not represent them, so this sham, this theater can continue on, as the oligarchy gets more entrenched with each passing year. Now sounds like a conspiracy theory, but when two universities, say it, it is not in the realm of conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy.
UNIONS http://www.debate.org/opinions/are-unions-beneficial-to-the-economy Unions are the only reason many industries have sustainable wage and benefit packages. Unions would not be necessary if companies respected the working class from the get go. Is that not obvious? People do not understand that the union provide employees with a quality of life companies would never match. Unions are too often demonised by the right-wing media and the 1% . The idea that ordinary workers should enjoy the fruits of their labour is not within their grasp.– The right wing 1% think that only the top bosses should benefit from the success of a company that the working class made possible. That’s why they smear unions in speeches, newspapers, television and radio. The bottom line… unions defend workers rights . The union is a friend to the working class and to non union workers as well. When unions negotiate a better wage for their members, those workers pay tax on that extra income – if that extra money went into the bosses’ pockets, do you think they’d pay tax on it? Or do you think they’d channel it into an offshore bank account thus avoiding tax?
Our nation spends about $500 billion in local, state and federal funds on public schools from kindergarten through high school. Most Americans view this as a wise investment in our nation's future. Throughout the 20th century the U.S. was the clear leader in public education. We created the most vibrant economy the world has ever known. The record speaks for itself -- public education is a great investment. But there are people who look at our investment in public education, and they see a treasure chest. Their first thought is, how can they tap into those funds for their own private gain? If just one percent of education spending were diverted to private profit, it would mean $5 billion a year in someone's pockets. And that's just counting K-12; higher education is already a huge for-profit sector. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-van-roekel/exposing-alecs-agenda-to-_b_3223651.html A simple fact of business: You have to spend money to make money. And those who want to privatize education are willing to spend lots of money and effort to push their agenda. One of the main ways they are doing this is through ALEC. ALEC has pushed education vouchers, which use public funds to pay for private schools, for years. They haven't been deterred by the fact that voters have rejected vouchers time and time again. In states where courts held that vouchers weren't legal, they have looked for loopholes in the law. Currently there are at least five different bills drafted by ALEC that use various approaches to divert public funds to private schools. They all have one thing in common: They undermine our capacity to create great public schools in every neighborhood, by diverting scarce resources that public schools desperately need. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-van-roekel/exposing-alecs-agenda-to-_b_3223651.html Today, 17 states offer 33 programs that allow parents to use taxpayer money to send their children to private schools. This includes traditional vouchers as well as tax-credit scholarship programs that give individuals or corporations tax reductions if they donate to scholarship funds. My home state of Arizona adopted this tactic. Vouchers are only one side of ALEC's education agenda. If they can't get public funds for private schools, they try to privatize the public schools. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dennis-van-roekel/exposing-alecs-agenda-to-_b_3223651.html
