Comrade de Blasio’s smashing blows to New York City will show America what the Democrats are about

April 9, 2014 by Kevin Collins


Comrade Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, is starting to do all of the destructives things anyone with any brains could foresee.

De Blasio is owned by two factions of the Left: the teacher’s union and the Working Families Party (WFP). The teachers union is closing in on an unheard of eight year contract. The teachers know they have to nail down their benefits now because things will be different when sanity returns to New York and de Blasio is shown the door. They looked at the stunts Wisconsin public service unions pulled and opted for guaranteed booty against the possibility that the “party” would end after a few years.

The WFP which was ironically formed to serve the interests of those who are not interested in working, has taken its turn smacking the City of New York around like a piñata. The difference between the two is the teachers want guaranteed benefits and the WFP wants to destroy capitalism.

The WFP which runs the City Council has decreed that starting April 1st more than half a million private business workers will be entitled to five paid sick days a year whether the business they work for can afford to pay for this benefit or not.

The law was changed in early March when the City Council jubilantly reduced the number of employees a business may have before it comes under their edict. Previously businesses had to have fifteen or more workers to be forced to grant these days off. Today the law reaches down to smaller businesses that employ just 5 or more workers.

But, another section of this new law commands businesses with as few as one employee to “allow” each employee as many as five unpaid days off a year without fear of being fired.

Since about 62% of New York’s businesses employ fewer than five workers this latest example of why Marxists should never be allowed to take over our lives will destroy thousands of businesses and put tens of thousands of New Yorkers out of work.

When they inevitably apply for unemployment insurance coverage this will bleed the small business community in New York white.

When the Working Families Party comes to your town get up and fight because they are vicious Marxists who will destroy everything in their path if you don’t stop them.

Comrade de Blasio will do things like this until the day he leaves office. What he does will destroy the richest city in America but there is a bright side to New York’s agony; the whole country will be reminded of what Democrats will do when they get total control of our lives.

Good luck talking that away Harry and Nancy.
