Obama administration rewards unions--again

Obamacare is so popular that thousands of labor unions and businesses have applied for waivers to be exempted from its requirements.

And something even more curious: About 12 percent of all employees are members of a labor union. So of the total number of employees in companies and other organizations that were granted a waiver, what fraction would you guess were union members?

Just over 50 percent.

Meaning a union member was four times more likely than anyone else to be allowed to opt out of Obamacare. Even though it's wildly popular.

Nice.

One of the great strengths of this nation was that its people styled it as "a nation of laws, not men." Meaning that the law was applied equitably to all, regardless of wealth or station in life.

That's been eroding for years--and in the last three years has virtually vanished.

Today we're a nation of connections and bribes--both legal (campaign contributions) and illegal (bribes and campaign contributions from foreign nationals, deliberately accepted by the Obama campaign).

And the ground gets ever closer.
