If Big Unions Agree With the Occupy Wall Street Dolts, Why Did They Support Jon Corzine For Governor of New Jersey?
Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine is out of a job now that the Wall Street firm he headed, MF Global, has gone bankrupt, but don’t worry. He’ll be just fine. Corzine has a couple of things to keep him out of the unemployment line. First, he’s a “great friend” and “ally” of President Barack Obama, as the president himself has said. And second, he’s expected to receive a $12.1 million severance package — the kind of things that critics of Wall Street excess, like Obama, and the milk duds over at Occupy Wall Street often call “golden parachutes.”
However, many big unions like the SEIU and the AFL-CIO have rushed to align themselves with the hippy contingent of Occupy Wall Street and offer their full support of the movement.
Remember - they did the same thing for Democrat and former Goldman Sachs executive Jon Corzine who lost the governorship of New Jersey to Republican Chris Christie who the unions immediately attacked. Is this the same Corzine who's firm offered the bizarre stipulation on their bond issue that indicated they would get pay an extra 1% if Corzine was appointed to a federal position by Obama. Wow - that's really out there "in your face" for everyone to see isn't it?
Doesn’t that conflict with the reason we’ve been given for the very existence of #Occupywallstreet?
Someone is lying. Either the #Occupywallstreet protesters or the unions which claim to support them.
Probably both.
It almost seems like you can get away with bailouts and corporate influence as long as you’re a Democrat.
