They have to make it about something other than what it really is.
The story of a selfish union and it's entitled membership bending over the taxpayers doesn't play too well on main street.
Well said. But the number of people that are so misguided and ill-informed on this subject is shocking.
What is so radical about trying to operate within the confines of a budget.
And teachers should take part in funding their own pensions. Everyone else does. Entitlement issues are rampant when it comes to union members.
Wake up people, look what happened to the U.S. auto industry. Now is the time to educate yourself and get your head out of the sand.
No, turning American against Americans is the goal of Obama, his puppeteer George Soros, and Communist big labor leader Richard Trumpka. They are the ones constantly beating the drum of class warfare. The public employees unions are sucking the taxpayers in municipalities dry with their bloated pensions.
Let me repeat that:
Turning American against Americans is the goal of hussein obama, his puppeteer George Soros, and Communist big labor leader Richard Trumpka.
The obots are out in force since hussein obama put his shills on CD.
Unions are going to whine and kick and scream like toddlers the whole time, trying to make it out to be some conspiracy. The truth is in the end they will not get their way and the taxpayers will finally be released from being held hostage by the unions.
Gotta say, they're effective.
Getting the middle class to fight for the rich who are destroying jobs and country!
It's the oldest ploy in the book.
Divide and Conquer
The ones that set foreign policy and pit country against country for their own agenda's and have done it many times in the past, are now doing it to Americans, and their not democrat or republican either, but many are falling for their games like a puppet.
If you focus to closely on one instance such as this, you will miss the forest for the trees, and not see the bigger picture where this is another small step in a series of steps that have been in motion for many years now.

We really need a bottom up revolution in this country to return us to a representative Republic from the bought and paid for corporatist shrine it has become. We, the 99% that are not hyper wealthy, are no longer represented in Congress and the Executive does the corporation's bidding. We need a revolution as much as other tyrannies. We need a revolution against both the Koch’s and the Soros’s. We need a revolution against the monopolists!
This thread whines and rails against Public Worker’s Unions because they cost the taxpayer’s money. How much money do the Taxpayers give to the huge corporate monopolies infesting out economy? How much extra do you pay for gasoline because of OPEC? How much more do you pay for food because of the Monsanto and ADM sponsored Gasohol boondoggle? How much are all of us paying for the useless war in Iraq and Afghanistan? How much is the monopolistic aristocratic private sector costing us? ONE HELLUVA LOT MORE THAN TEACHER’S PENSIONS THAT’S WHAT.

Please list the number of nationwide political radio talk shows Soros, Obama, and Trumka sponsor/support.
Limbaugh, Beck, Levin, Hannity, Ingraham, and Weiner-Savage constantly beat the drum of class warfare.
The deficits these governors are now bleating about are largely the result of the tax breaks they instantly granted when they took office. They're not the least bit serious about balancing anything. They want to give breaks to wealthy on the backs of the working class.
What we are witnessing in Wisconsin and Ohio is a classic divide and conquer strategy by very powerful wealthy interests who wish to destroy our country’s unions and advance corporatism. These interests have convinced certain groups of people that public employees created the severe fiscal problems underlying many states budgets and that those workers should not only receive reduced pay and pay more into their pension retirement fund, but also lose their collective bargaining rights in the process.
It will backfire on them as they have underestimated the Americn People.
