the street. i go argue in public forums like this. unions because they're pushing democratic talks are increasing democracy and they're doing it increasing with allies of the private sector for the great many underpaid and insecure workers. >> this is getting good. rather than throwing questions to cut her throat off track daniel, i'd like to hear your response is somewhat which assert from michael, particularly to the last point. you say public unions have two bites of the apple and michael tsang look around it's taking place in a lot of areas. >> i wouldn't start there because it's not taking, not in the same way, if you take the two bites of the apple apart public employee unions are but don't want to get to negotiate with governments or with their employer directly for salary benefits and working conditions but can also lobby that same employer through the political process for that now. many of us now participate in civic life. all of you are here. i so many of your cynically engage. you may contribute to the sierra club or the nr

they find the public-sector unions. they said the unions are the ones to calls that come and they go to the units, and that is why you see all this attention to public sector unions because they are the ones who caused the crisis, although ice just that the data shows that there is not even a vague cause. second thing is some of the scapegoating is political. after all i love the public-sector unions give more to democrats than republicans. what you find in some states take wisconsin, where scott walker, who makes the brush of his challenge or attack on the unions, but what does he do? he exams the police and firefighters because they tend support republicans. so you go after the teachers and that is what happens in a number of states where there is an effort to scapegoat the public-sector workers, and it is not entirely republicans against democrats supporting, but it is mostly, and there are exceptions. rhode island, you mentioned -- but she is divisive in the democratic party, but there is a politics to this. the thir

then they find the public-sector union. they are the ones to cause that and that's part of why we see all this attention of the public-sector unions because they are the ones that caused the crisis even though i would suggest that the data that we show there isn't even rejected by the primary people that study that. that's the first thing. second, a lot of public-sector unions give more to democrats, give it to republicans. so scott walker who makes his challenge or attack on the union what does he do he upsets police and firefighters because he supports republicans or they are more divided in their support. as a graphic of the teachers and that is what happens in a number of the states where there is an effort to scape goat the workers and it isn't entirely republicans against democrats supporting that it is mostly exceptions like that and we do mention the general but she's very divisive in the democratic party and making a bad. this isn't addressed in the book at all there is an opportunity for the financial investors. in
