Kaus Warns of Government By the Unions

The San Francisco Chronicle reports on Mickey Kaus' Senate campaign against Senator Boxer:
In California, "labor is the new aristocracy - everyone else is sweating away at $10-an-hour jobs while unions have defended their benefits," he said. Public workers unions "are no longer the oppressed class; in a two-tier system, they are the upper tier," he said.

"People realize that the government machine is run for the unions," Kaus said. "The libraries can close, but you can't cut those pensions."

Can Mickey Kaus say that and win in a Democratic primary? No.
