As it happens, union money can buy a whole lot of political influence. This isn’t exactly a closely-guarded secret. What I don’t think is well-enough known is that one of the biggest influence-peddling unions is the one that covers state and municipal employees as well as home-care workers who aren’t government employees but who are subsidized heavily by the government (thanks to Medicare, et. al.).
Here’s a bit of a “did you know” related to the SEIU. Did you know that the SEIU and ACORN have the same roots and are as tied together as you are to your circulatory system? That the SEIU is involved up to its eyeballs in Chicago corruption shouldn’t surprise a living soul.
The only real question is how involved the life-long Chicago leftist Barack Obama has been in all these dirty dealings.
