Democrats torn between shiny new ventures and old-school allies

By Stephen Frank on Sep 15, 2015 08:20 pm
Democrats have been getting money, lots of it from the unions. The technology industry is creating products that do away with a lot of bribe paying, extortionist jobs.

By Stephen Frank on Sep 15, 2015 07:49 pm
It must be really bad if the Obama Administration is allowing a union to be investigated for corruption. In the case of the United Teachers of Los Angeles, the officials refuse to tell what happened to $3 million of the “strike” fund. Those that have portions of their paychecks extorted by the union apparently have […]
