Instead of "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" the people of the USA have almost daily violations of the Constitution creating a dictatorship of the CON gress, Presidency, and Judiciary. If the President and CON gress feign their desire to improve government, or if the CON gress pretends to vehemently disagree with a given President but does not perform its Constitutional duty to provide a check to presidential power, or If a President and Congress repeatedly use "emergencies", either real or propagandized, to affect the public opinion of uninformed and outraged Americans and further destroys the Constitution with (unConstitutional laws (ACA, Patriot Act, NDAA, Homeland Security/TSA and many more), then any new constitutional infringement, any new law that violates the Constitution, any violation of any American's rights becomes easily possible and highly probable.
The outrage or irrationality of thoughtless, biased, uninformed citizens wanting a government handout followed by unConstitutional laws that increase government control and size for the last 125 years has created and continues today the collusion of the President, CON gress, and the Judiciary to gain more and more control over a once free people. Wealth-jealous, populists bend and weaken the Constitution to restrict liberty, steal from the country's producers and destroy the Capitalist base of the economy such that there is no FREE market today. Of course President(s) and CON gress whine about unemployment while continuing to destroy the economy. The PARASITE known as government, the destructive, corrupt, mismanaged, bloated, bankrupt monster is the cause of most economic failures today.
The PRIMARY cause of the government agenda to expand and exert CONTROL is the socio-progressive mindset of many elected officials (Sen. Chuckie Shoeshiner for one) and their lackeys, the permanent bureaucrats who remain after elections, the government employees who pay forced-dues to UNIONS. The bigger government gets, the more FORCEFUL control government can exert on its citizens. After all, government bureaucrats need something to do on the job besides playing games, viewing porn on their computers, or talking on the phone.
BIG government continues to get bigger almost ENTIRELY because government employee unions implicitly threaten elected officials into a quid-pro-quo deal, i.e. unions will donate their union's dues to candidates who support the expansion of government. Expansion includes higher pay, automatic raises, automatic promotions, and more new hires to expand the union's dues revenue. Examples of recent expansions are Homeland Security (Big Brother), the TSA, the NSA's new Utah Data Center and ObamaCare's 16,000 new IRS employees who, in the end, will be destructive of our civil rights in their futile attempt to enforce the 'individual mandate' just as the DEA has been and is unable and incapable to stop 'illegal' drug trafficking.
Bureaucracies are ineffective and inept because 1/2 to 2/3 of union employees were hired to do 'make-work' jobs, i.e. they're deadweight! The organization of bureaucracies is completely unmanageable and employees are COMPLETELY UNACCOUNTABLE. A goverment-union employee cannot be fired, reprimanded, admonished, or retrained without the direct and threatening involvement of the union. Action against a government employee that does not meet with union approval can cause 'work slow-downs' and other disruptive work environment problems. The end result might be that the union provides financial support for the opposing candidates in the next election especially if those candidate(s) make an under-the-table deal with the union for union bucks. THIS KIND OF UNION ACTIVITY HAS DESTROYED AND CONTINUES TO DESTROY COMPANIES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. Only the government can tolerate this employee insubordination because the government is supported by the TAXPAYER (and the Federal Reserve)! If the Taxpayer won't pay higher taxes (pay-check extraction), then CONgress figures new, sneakier, and more complex means of stealing from citizens or the Fed floods the economy with more money out-of-thin-air to fund these expansions. Government will never go out of business except taxpayer money will disproportionately be redistributed to union workers unless genuinely insulated elected officials can be found who will defund and/or eliminate unnecessary departments/agencies and reduce the entire government to the barest, most efficient form. Government can no longer be a workfare employer of last resort.
Government Employee Unions contribute their forced-dues (compulsory as a condition of employment) to Democrat and sympathetic Republican candidates. The same union members, the staff of elected Democrats and Republicans sit at the contract negotiation table where excessive salaries (40% higher than private sector) and lavish benefit packages (pensions that pay $100-200K a year at retirement) plus multiple sick days, holidays, and vacation days are "negotiated". If any candidate or incumbent stands up against a specific proposal to add (or increase an existing) agency or generally stands up to cut goverment, all of the financial resources of the unions are used in the next election to defeat the incumbent or a challenging opponent who espouses any government cutting policy. Does anyone see the conflict-of-interest?
I estimate that one-third to one-half of government employees do productive work for only two hours a day. The net result is that GOVERNMENT MUST GROW! In the book Shadowbosses, the author writes that their are only two groups of people in the USA --- Pie-makers and Pie-eaters or Taxpayers and Taxreceivers. In the private sector, most unions are careful not to demand too much for fear of driving their employer into bankruptcy or out of business entirely. In the public sector, the Pie-eaters expand their government gravy train endlessly at will and the Federal reserve and the Pie-makers pay for the never-ending government expansion. More and more union members are hired every year to continue this de facto corruption.
FROM Shadowbosses:
"The percentage of private sector workers in unions has been declining since the 1950s, both because unionized businesses have been failing and because workers in new businesses don't choose to unionize. Basically, private sector unions have been driving themselves out of business for sixty years."
"Government employee unions are a totally different animal. Government employee unions use politics as the central plank of their business plans --- unlike private sector unions, which have far less need for politics to maintain their bottom line."
"Then, these unions keep our government inefficient by preventing it from reorganizing, streamlining, and privatizing government services, because more efficient government would mean less union dues revenue. There will be a tipping point when our government gets so big that the last remaining taxpayers in America will no longer be able to support the enormous cost of running our government. And we are rapidly approaching this point."
