If you doubt that connected democrats will fare better than successful businesspersons under Obamacare deathpanels then you obviously have never watched the way government works. Government unions are simply a way fo laundering money for democrat political priorities.

I'm a retired fed analyst and manager, including program and management analysis. I know how government works.

I know how federal government unions work, too, having had to factor them into all management activities in various capacities, including negotiation.

Good then you have witnessed first hand how elected officials and their appointees routinely change the way departments operate. If lobbying didn't work, nobody would do it. You can believe what you choose, but you would find it difficult to convince observers that influence is not wielded in government.

Laundering money? I cannot imagine how you could think that. There's no money in federal unions.

How much money has the airline gropers union funnelled to democrats? Do you remember that democrats were willing to prevent the TSA laws from being passed after 911 over the issue of unionizing the TSA? They did it for the guaranteed donations. Government unions give big money almost exclusively to democrats. That is close to the textbook definition of money laundering.

Liberals want to control others through appointment while conservatives want to gain wealth and end up controlling others because of their success. Liberals revel in their power while conservatives fear their own power and that of others.

That may be so but I don't see how that enables anyone to tinker with the health benefits of any individual patient, whether connected democrat or successful businessperson.
That is because you are not the kind of ruthless individual who would rise to the top in a socialist utopia. Do you remember that Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico to ensure he could not return and lead after Stain was deposed. It worked because Stalin ruled with an iron fist for decades.

As government grows it more closely resembles socialism.
