Three recent Republican efforts, each one critical to the conservative agenda:
1) the attempt by Republican governors to eliminate the right of public employees to bargain collectively;
2) the attempt to eliminate the consumer protection bureau created in the Dodd-Frank financial services reform law—probably the most important part of the law for ordinary investors;
3) the recent 5-4* Supreme Court decision to limit the right to “class-arbitration” in many circumstances—taking away the collective power of those whose injuries are too small to be effectively remedied individually yet who, together, might be able to stand up to much stronger institutions.
