Scott Wagner comments on unions, Hitler, Putin criticized – York Dispatch
“The unions are about power and control. And there are two things that I continue to remember about power and control. There was a gentleman by the name of Hitler, he was about power and control. There’s a gentleman by the name of Putin, who’s across the ocean, that’s about power and control.”
via Scott Wagner comments on unions, Hitler, Putin criticized – York Dispatch.
Hitler achieved power and control by volatile public speeches rife with misrepresentations, just like Scott Wagner’s speech. Hitler believed the bigger the lie, the more likely it was that people would believe it … and with one Big Lie after another, he convinced an entire nation to abandon common sense and common decency and embrace a nightmarish agenda to dominate the world – an ethnically cleansed world.
Unions – primarily through work stoppages and boycotts – ended child labor, unsafe working conditions, 16-hour work days, seven day work weeks, and many other evils. And many Americans were murdered by hired guns earning those achievements, just as many are dying on foreign soil right now to bring about similar changes.
Legislators that either doesn’t know history relevant to an issue they’re deciding on your behalf – or flat lie about the relevant history – need to be voted out. We don’t need ongoing stupid, and we don’t need ongoing evil, but for long as the Kochs are involved, that’s what we’ll be facing.

The rally was organized by Americans for Prosperity, a group founded by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch.
The Koch brothers should be lobbying for the legalization of hemp to exponentially cut the costs of their paper production. Perhaps if they have less money, they’ll have to think a bit harder about where they’re spending it – if you have a smarter phone than mine, please boycott their products using an app called Buycutt:
