Seriously. It's in quotes, so I have to assume Sen. Lori Klein really said this about the draconian anti-union bills making their way through the legislature, bills which, according to someone from the Goldwater Institute, would make the Wisconsin legislation look "moderate."
Republican Sen. Lori Klein, who sits on the Government Reform Committee, told the union members that the legislation wasn’t designed to hurt them.
“This is not an attack on them,” she said. “But it is a way to give them new freedom.”
New freedom from decent compensation and benefits. New freedom from union protections against politically motivated attacks and firings. New freedom to be at the mercy of whatever Tea Party whim is the extreme right flavor of the day.
Do you think the American Revolution would have happened if Jefferson, Washington and Franklin offered the colonies Klein's version of "new freedom"?
