What’s this fuss in Wisconsin? Legally there is no right for public workers to collectively bargain unless granted by legislative bodies. Public unions have so abused the privilege the taxpayers are now asking for a recall on the excesses.
I find it very ironic that the radical left, which has such passion for protesting inequalities in society and capitalism, are being exposed for being greedy, corrupt, dishonest, deceitful and undemocratic.
Votes buy politicians. Politicians reward voters. Taxpayers pick up the tab. The state actually collects union dues! This bill fairly addresses one of the most corrupting cycles in current American politics. Public service unions, as a taxpayer funded monopoly, force all employees to pay dues to the union who compensate the union bosses lavishly and then finance Democratic campaigns coffers so they can buy politicians who promise them more salaries, extraordinary benefits and pensions. The politicians who are in office but a brief time compared to the expenses they pass on to the future generations. Yes, this is about the kids.
If this isn’t bad enough teachers unions have blocked all substantial educational reforms, protected incompetence, and have shut down public options. Despite, an enormous increase in educational expenses since the 1970s the final product, our children’s education, has flatlined – not improved a bit. It is time to put an end to the school bullies.
