ED ASNER, SELF-PROCLAIMED HOLLYWOOD COMMUNIST, NARRATES SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR TEACHERS UNION
As a character actor, I admire Ed Asner; but as a political force, I believe he represents everything wrong with America …
In his own words … “I'm always thought of in Hollywood and surrounding environs as the resident communist.”
This is classic misdirection … it never points out the fact that the union’s corruption of politicians has lead to contracts featuring no-cut jobs, healthcare, pensions and work rules which promote the status quo over innovation, mediocrity over merit, higher wages without a corresponding increase in productivity – and an unsustainable “defined benefit” pension system rather than the “defined contribution” 401(k)-type systems used in the private sector. There is no mention of union thuggery, interference in elections and general fraud when it comes to administering pension benefits.
See for yourself, with your own eyes, pure socialist propaganda in support of the unions …
Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, is narrated by Ed Asner, with animation by Mike Konopacki. Written and directed by Fred Glass for the California Federation of Teachers. An 8 minute video about how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality.
Look at reality …
The greatest portion of a municipality’s tax revenue now goes to supporting unionized public employees and their benefits. An unsustainable amount of money that demands more and more taxes to pay for people who have ceased contributing to the community years ago – but who may still be employed in other unionized positions or treated as casual labor consultants.
Bottom line …
Most people who are exposed to short-hand cartoon explanations and solutions for today’s pressing problems is because they have been ill-educated by unionized teachers and lack the ability to think for themselves. They are the entitlement culture, not the entrepreneurs who are revitalizing America.
Unless people wake up to the union manipulation of our political system, we will become a member of the international socialist cabal – another unexceptional social democracy like France and Greece. With nobody left to bail us out when our system fails.
See what Asner’s socialist union pals are doing. Watch the video and spread the word.
