Just catching up to yesterday’s New York Times. In an article dealing with the ongoing skirmishes over public servants’ rights and privileges, there was this last paragraph:
Jennifer Brunner, a lawyer and former Ohio secretary of state, said a post on herFacebook page this week nicely summed up what she believed was happening. “A dozen cookies are put down in front of a C.E.O., a union member and a Tea Partier,” she said. “The C.E.O. takes 11. Then he says to the Tea Partier, ‘That union guy wants yours.’ ”
Now, that is an over-simplification and hyperbolic, but there is also a lot of truth there.
P.S. Just catching up on last night’s Rachel Maddow Show; see she used the quote, giving the Times credit.
