They control Hollywood – painfully obvious.

The control our campuses:
3/29/05 Washington Post: “College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined, a new study says.”
-72% of higher education teachers are liberal, 15% conservative
-50% identified themselves as democrat, 11% republican
-At elite schools: 87% are liberal, 13% conservative.
5/20/12 L. A. Times: “At the University of California at Berkeley the ratio of Democrats to Republicans even in the hard sciences had grown to 10 to 1 in 2004, many times what it was 30 years ago...”
“In the humanities and social sciences the ratios were 17 to 1 and 21 to 1, respectively.”

They control our “education” system. The National Education Association (the teacher’s union) gives 95% of its political contributions to democrats, decade after decade.

And now they’ll control our health care through their life-tenured union federal bureaucrats – you think our health care costs are going to skyrocket? You’re right:
8/13/10 USA Today: At a time when workers' pay and benefits have stagnated, federal employees' average compensation has grown to more than double what private sector workers earn, a USA TODAY analysis finds.
Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.
Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data are the latest available.
