When you read this story make sure to click on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story provided in it.

Wisconsin public sector union threatening businesses with boycotts - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

When will they be threatening home owners with some kind of punishment for not supporting them openly? They are down to small business owners and telling them that neutral means "no" in union talk. Godawmighty what will they do next?

I love how the far left/moveon.org crowd keep moving the goalposts...

First its: "they are earning middle class salaries", so when proven wrong the "argument" changes to: "so what if they do make alot of money, other people do also"...

What is a money lender? Is that another moveon.org talking / obfuscation point?

As if the billions lent to banks, assuming that is what this person is referring to, most of which has been paid back, has ANYTHING to do with the grossly overpaid / overcompensated public union employees...

Maybe you'll next want to throw in since A-rod is paid alot, we should be satisfied being taxed out of our homes and livlihoods to continue funding lavish public employee comp / benefits.

This is how I know how much money and effort the public employee unions are throwing into this last gasp fight to continue their gravy train, they have PR flacks all over web forums using the same nonsensical talking points in legion to give the appearance of a mass, grassroots movement of people allegedly supporting public unions - which is patently false.

The vast middle class does NOT support the public unions, and the sooner they realize that, and start operating responsibly the better. Their time to exist has ended...
