Minnesota

Everyone has an opinion, whether based on fact or class bias. Marjorie Simon has never even run for political office, much less answered to a constituency or publicly discussed political/social/economic issues. Minneapolis Times describes her background as:

"Marjorie Simon, Minneapolis, holds degrees from the College of St. Benedict, and the University of Northern Colorado in Music Education. When vocal cord problems ended her band directing career, Simon switched to writing. She served as PR director for the St. Paul Winter Carnival, then an ad agency, before starting her own business. She’s won numerous awards at the state and international levels. Her work has appeared in publications ranging from Mechanical Engineering and ENR, to Better Homes & Gardens and many more.”

Searching her name brings up no writing credits for any other publication. She did write an article for this publication last year, clutching pearls and whining about disorder at last year's DFL convention. Her article seems to derive substance from Roberts Rules of Order.
I see no reason why this person’s opinion deserves notice or discussion and question why it was deemed worthy of inclusion in this forum.

Anything that helps working families survive and spend time raising their children instead of working for a subsistence wage is deemed “socialism” by a certain type of person whose general attitude towards the great mass of humanity seems to be “I got mine, f88k you.” Certain other people delight in catapulting the propaganda into general awareness. Draw your own conclusions.
