<p>By John Seiler</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still partial to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young&#8217;s early albums. I&#8217;m listening to &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQC4YgOERHI&amp;playnext=1&amp;list=PL4AAD4B37D975A555&amp;feature=results_main" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deja Vu&#8221; free on YouTube</a>.</p>
<p>But along with their waistlines, their left-wing politics haven&#8217;t improved with age. They&#8217;re backing the ultra-powerful state government-worker unions, whose policies have spiked pay and pensions while bankrupting the state, in opposing <a href="http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition_32,_the_%22Paycheck_Protection%22_Initiative_(2012)" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Proposition 32</a>. Among other things, Prop. 32 would ban unions from extracting political contributions from government-workers&#8217; paychecks. The workers still could contribute on their own to political campaigns.</p>
<p>The antiquated folk rockers <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2012/10/crosby-stills-nash-morello-proposition-32.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just joined</a> Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine in an anti-32 fundraiser. Morello charged that Prop. 32 &#8220;is another of the brushfire wars in this ongoing class warfare assault of the ruling class on working families.&#8221;</p>
<p>He&#8217;s raging the wrong way. In California, the &#8220;ruling class&#8221; is the fat-cat government-worker unions, obsessed with protecting <a href="http://database.californiapensionreform.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$100,000-plus pensions</a>. And California&#8217;s government workers, according to <a href="http://blogs.sacbee.com/the_state_worker/121001%20Numbers-Sept-2012-Where-Does-California-Rank-2011.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a new analysis</a> by the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, average $70,777 a year in pay, the highest of any state.</p>
<p>The rockers sang Woody Guthrie&#8217;s &#8220;This Land Is Your Land,&#8221; reportedly including the line, &#8220;As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking/ Is this land made for you and me?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;stood there hungry&#8221; on $70,777 a year? These guys obviously have been inhaling too much medical sherm.</p>
<p>If anybody&#8217;s &#8220;hungry&#8221; it&#8217;s private-sector workers laid off from their jobs because the high taxes and absurd regulations backed by the government-worker unions have laid waste to the private sector.</p>
