See government unions do not want to lose control over your money. Right now you/we are paying them better than you might be getting paid yourself. You provide them with subsidized health insurance, you provide them with a generous pension plan and you provide them numerous sick days and vacation time. Ask yourself how awesome your health insurance is at your job. Are you getting a great deal with your retirement account? Are you lucky enough to have an employer who matches your contributions? Do you get more than a two weeks vacation or do you have to work for 5-10 years to obtain more days. Chances are, if you are a regular Joe working in the private sector your taxes are paying for a far better deal for the government union workers.
Right now there is a battle in Wisconsin over collective bargaining. The state is broke and is asking for concessions with the union. Under Governor Walker's plan, most public workers - excluding police, firefighters and state troopers - would have to pay half of their pension costs and at least 12 percent of their health-care costs. They would lose bargaining rights for anything other than pay. is this really that unreasonable? It's all about power. The power that the unions have over YOUR money.
Teachers are on their third day of boycotts. Kids are not in school. How awesome is that? Maybe you shouldn't show up for work and see what your employer thinks. Remember all those fights that the teacher groups have over money and how they say if they don't get more cash then the children will suffer? I don't see any teacher giving a shit about kids today. They are more worried about their power.
Last November the electorate across the country sent a clear message that is desperately trying to be ignored by every Democrat in power from the President down to a state representative. That message is to stop spending. States like New Jersey and Wisconsin are broke and the blame can pretty much be laid at the feet of unions. The goodie sacks can no longer be funded. So governors like Christie in NJ and Walker in Wisconsin are making tough choices to reign in the costs. The union herd HATES it. And they are fighting.
The problem is that November signaled a return to fiscal responsibility. Wisconsin is typically a liberal state but the folks voted in the GOP as governor, the state legislator and a U.S. Senator. The message was clear. The measures are exactly what the people asked for. But the Marxists, socialists, statists and Democrats have different ideas. They are organizing in Wisconsin. They are also going to organize in Ohio and Indiana.
And who might they be? None other than the Obama administration operatives. Obama’s campaign group Organizing For America is already actively engaged in the protests. They are working hard to get members to change their mind about voting against the unions.
While this drama unfolds in Madison the chicken shit Democrats simply are not going to show up to vote. See the GOP to vote to pass the bill. But they can't have the vote if all of the Dems are not in attendance. So now they are hiding in another state. These pieces of shit say they are going to hide out for weeks if it comes to it. Run away Dems. Run away. How humiliating it must be to be from Wisconsin.
This country is in deep trouble. This unholy alliance between unions and Democrats is a great danger to this country. You exist to pay for their power. The Dems will tax you. They will enslave the government unions to stay in power. The rank in file are forced to pay dues to stay in the union. It's corrupt and sick. But they have bussed thousands of useful idiots to hold up signs and agitate at state capitals.
This country is burning while the world burns around it. Instead of working together to bring sanity to our country for the common good we have selfish people trying to keep power,take your money as well as bankrupt the nation. Obama is the most incompetent President we have ever had. It is almost like he and his merry band of radicals are working from the inside to tear down this once great country. I do not know if we will make it to 2012.
I support Governor Scott Walker. I hope he has the fortitude and strength to win this battle against the state union. It's an important battle. One that Obama has decided is keenly important to his agenda and re-election attempt. Government unions have to be defeated. Walker's rhetoric sounds like he is up for the challenge. From The Hill:
"If anything, I think it's made the Republicans in the Assembly and the Senate stronger," he told Fox News's Greta Van Susteren in an interview Thursday night. "They're not going to be bullied. They're not going to be intimidated."
Walker also fired back at President Obama, who sided with the public employees, saying on Fox News Friday, "We are focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the government and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budgets, which they are a long way off from doing."
In your face Obama! lol
I think the unions are on the losing side of this issue. A larger majority of people who pay their bills would like for them to simply STFU and get with the program of saving this country from financial ruin.
