Right but not wages. Why should the unions be given the right to take taxpayer money for benefits? Maybe you should learn the difference between public and private sector unions. Doubt it will make a lot of difference though since you don't live in Wisconsin and don't have to pay for those benefits. Again you speak about something that doesn't concern you and you know so little about.
 
:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo oh my god!! this coming from you??:lamo
 

Why doesn't the same standards apply to the polices, fire and prison unions??? Could it be possible because they supported Walker?

Or it could have something to do with public safety. What is the difference between the union contracts? I don't like public unions at all as they are funded by the taxpayers not the private sector customers.

I understand that many of the state unions you mentioned above did NOT support Walker. But why srart allowing the facts to get in the way of a good narrative/ talking point.

You don't think workers should have the choice to join the union or pay dues? Weird......
 

Here is what the people need to know and it is the taxpayers that fund the public unions

THE TRUTH

WISCONSIN TEACHERS (average) THE REST OF US

Average Salary $51,100 $50,400
Benefits $38,400 $10,600

Total $89,500 $61,000

On the job 9 months a year Work year round
Retirement at 50-55 y.o w/ 70% of pay Retire at 65 (maybe) with whatever the stock market leaves you with
Full health benefits for life Good luck

CONTRIBUTION

Pension 0.2% taxpayers pay the rest Good luck and 5-20%
Health 4-6% taxpayers pay the rest Good luck and as much as 50%
 

Now please go back and compare comparable educational levels and skill levels. Or do you prefer comparing apples to cinder blocks and then complaining that your pie tastes like concrete?

LOL, from a minority position? Unions make up 11% of the work force so unless 11% is the majority, you are off base again as usual. take your argument to the taxpayers and see if they buy the collective bargaining agreement for public employees?

You really need to pay more attention to what you read. Again, just for you because you are special


Now read it a few times just so you get the point.

Explain to me why this is an issue for you? You posted numbers but ignored the content of the article that you posted showing the state in dire straits. Why do public employees make more than the private sector? this is an issue for the citizens of Wisconsin. If they want to pay those outrageous benefits, then that is their choice. the protests are typical union bully tactics that apparently you condone.

Keep believing this is the political party of all white people. Good people of all races see what is happening in Wisconsin as an example of the labor movement destroying the economy of the state. Fair minded people aren't in today's Democrat Party and means members of all races.
 
Unions are dinosaurs in desperate need of a tarpit.
 

That is exactly the big issue. Thank you for making it again here. The unions are the only big money supporter of the Democrats. If they can be busted that leaves one party with all the big money donors.

Everyone good with one party running the government?
 

If the reaction here on this site is any indication, as long as that single party is a conservative one, lots of people here would be just ducky with it.
 

Don't let the facts get in your way. From Pew Research on the last presidential election


The modern GOP is a white persons game. And if you have not read the latest demographic projections for the near future, that is a vanishing breed that could be a minority in less than forty years.

It's the same no matter what side of the fence one finds oneself. The Dems were right as rain as long as they had all the Congress and the WH. It is sort of like free speech. Everyone is in favor of free speech as long it is the speech they want to hear.
 

The tide is changing as more and more blacks understand how the Democrat Party has kept them dependent. keep believing the leftwing and you too will become dependent. Guess Allen West is what, an "Uncle Tom?"

Is that right conservatives? Would you be happy with one party rule?

We had a one party rule the past two years and look what it got us, 15 million unemployed, emboldened unions out bashing heads, 3.5 trillion added to the debt. If that is today's Democrat Party, a single party under Conservative control would be a welcome change.
 

What about single party rule under an alternative party?

No alternative party is going to start at the national level, it has to begin at the grass roots and grow from there. The two major political parties are too entrenched.
 
 

This is "your" President, is this something that promotes non partisanship and civility? Is this really what you want?
