Blueprint for Destroying Unions Is About Amassing Power

By CJ Werleman

March 10, 2014  |  There was little from last week’s CPAC that should have surprised America. We get it, conservatives. You want the poor to “keep their knees together.” You want a 1950s-era Berlin-styled wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. You believe gays, atheists, immigrants, liberals, and whatever else isn’t white and straight is destroying the country.

 

None of this comes as a surprise to anyone who has watched five minutes of Fox & Friends.

What did come as a surprise, however, is the right wing let the metaphorical cat out of the bag when it comes to their strategy of transforming America’s democracy for the many into a tyrannical plutocracy for the very few, revealing just how disingenuous the Republican Party is whenever it offers any lip service to dealing with income inequality.
