Steven Singer tells the sad story of a billionaire heiress who is very angry. She thinks she should be able to tell everyone what to do. Since she is not queen or empress, she has been spending millions of dollars to elect politicians who agree with her or take orders from her. However, in this election, she lost many of the races she thought she had bought. Her chosen candidates were rejected in many states.
She was so disappointed by her losses that she blamed “the unions” for supporting people who disagreed with her. How dare they! People who disagree with her, she believes, should not have unions, because then they could not support candidates who disagree with her.
Those people should not have the power to elect candidates! Only billionaires should!
Can you guess who that angry billionaire heiress is?
Can you guess who that angry billionaire heiress is?
Billionaire-ass
Fixed.
How dare the Pee-ons??
How dare the Pee-ons vote?
How dare the folks decide?
To drain the castle moat
With crocadiles inside?
How dare the Pee-ons flout
The billionaire-ass rules?
How dare the unions shout
That public owns the schools?
billionaire-ass, perfectly stated.
Someone should publish a little book about bears and betsy.
Betsylocks and the Three Bears. Betsy invades the home of some innocent bears just trying to make a living. She invades their privacy and their property. She steals their food, being finicky of course. She even sleeps in their beds. Sated, yet paranoid about reprisal, she runs away with $7.5 million dollars worth of U.S.Marshalls guarding her retreat.
My guess is DeVos. Most billionaires are not in favor of Unions. Makes sense, lower wages, more for them!
I get why billionaires like Betsy D. hate unions but why do some ordinary working class Americans hate or not support unions? There are 2 teachers in NJ who are suing the unions (local and NJEA) because of agency fees. These teachers have tenure, seniority, health care, a pension, the protection of LIFO and the union to help them file a grievance against a dictatorial administrator and they have the unmitigated gaul to sue the unions. They are not paying for the legal fees, that money and legal help is paid for by some far right wing/libertarian group. Oh, and one of the teachers is a 30 year veteran teacher earning over $86,000, THANKS TO THE UNIONS, the local and NJEA. And yet this lady bitterly complains about the money she has to pay to the NJEA because the NJEA mostly supports Democrats and liberal issues.
This case seems redundant. Unions cannot compel non-members to pay so-called “agency fees”. see Janus v. AFSCME (2017)

From NJTV News, 11-15-18: In an unprecedented step, the Ocean Township middle school teacher and a colleague are taking the NJEA to court by filing a federal class action suit against the state of New Jersey, the NJEA and their local union. They’re claiming the labor groups are violating Janus, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling from June that prevents unions from collecting dues if a public employee opts out.
“Unfortunately, New Jersey passed a law saying employees who authorized dues deduction in the past could only exercise their rights under Janus during one, 10-day period per year, which basically means for 355 to 356 days of every year, public employees in New Jersey can’t exercise their Janus rights,” said William Messenger, who is representing the teachers in the lawsuit.
In May, Gov. Phil Murphy signed an amendment giving public employees just 10 days following the anniversary of their employment each year to withdraw from their union.
“If nothing else comes out of this, teachers, or colleagues or state employees will know that they have an option,” Fischer said. End Quote
This teacher is earning over $86K plus all the other great benefits, thanks to the unions.
Like I mentioned once before, Betsy DeVos is Trump in skirts and since she is younger, she may be a clone of Trump but the scientists experimented with Trump’s DNA and turned this Trump clone into a woman … unless Trump’s father cheated on his wife and sired children through other wealthy families. I wonder if Congress can demand a DNA test to discover the truth, that Betsy is not Trump’s clone but his half sister.
Betsy’s behavior paints her as a narcissist and possibly a psychopath. There aren’t many women psychopaths since most are men, but that doesn’t rule her out. At least she doesn’t have twitching twitter fingers, knock on wood.
This must be a profile that fits many if not all of the very wealthy that were born into wealth and inherited that wealth without having to actually work for it and earn it.
How can any person born to wealth, that inherited that wealth with an inbred since of privilege, that never had to REALLY work a day in their life from pay check to pay check, learn from failure when they were insulated from REAL failure and have never failed?
Shudder, how many more Trump clones or half siblings are out there … waiting to pounce on us inferior humans and drain us of our blood?
Just off the top of my head…Betsy DeVos or Laurene Jobs. Certainly not Oprah!
My guess would be one of the Waltons, either daughter or granddaughter.
