WILLISMS: "Union membership in the private sector in this country is WAY down over the past few decades, while simultaneously WAY up in the public sector (via The Club For Growth blog)..."
Willism has a GREAT CHART; here's a summary:
In 1948, 35% of all private sector workers were in unions. It has declined ever since.
In 1948, 12% of all public sector workers were in unions. It has increased ever since.
In 2004, only 8% of all private sector workers are in unions.
In 2004, 37% of all public sector workers are in union.
Historically, the largest single segment of the Democrat Party has always been unions. It still is, but NOT the old "blue collar" unions of the private sector. The unions of the public sector are running the Democrat Party now. FACT: SINCE 1990, public sector unions have given 90% of their donations to the Democrat Party -- $135 MILLION DOLLARS to the Dems and only $12 million to the GOP.
WHY DO THESE UNIONS FAVOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY? AND, WHAT CAN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY POSSIBLY DO FOR THEM THAT THE GOP WON'T?
Simple: the Democrats will raise taxes and increase the size of government and EXPAND THE SIZE, POWER AND WEALTH OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS. That's why the public sector unions love the Dems. It's a quid pro quo.
SO, if you want to have government for the public sector unions, by the public sector unions, and of the public sector unioins, then by all means... PLEASE VOTE DEMOCRAT.
