No all, but a good percentage of union haters are just jealous and bitter that they weren't smart enough or talented enough to get into a good union with good pay and benefits.
Yeah, that what the Left/unions said 16 months ago...that Walker's policies would cause death and destruction.....turned out the exact opposite happened.
Walker and Christie held firm, and did as they said they would, and tonight the people in their state expressed their appreciation for a job well done.

Yeah, thats it.. multimillionaires I know, are all upset they werent smart enough to sit back and join a union, get a job, and only decided to start a business, and retire early. One I know retired at 30.. yeah, if only they were smart like you..
Actually, a teacher here who worked for 37 years retired at 59 and his income is well near 100k. MY aunt is 70 and has been a teacher for 26 years and said she'd only get 50-60k a year, so she's going to work another 5-10 years if she can suirvive it.
59 is older than 48 for sure.
What's wrong with people having a good retirement? Didn't the state plan ahead and save this money during their career or did the republicpunks rob it to fund one of their tax breaks?
I worked for Enron for 4 years in the 80's. Don't talk to me about pension funds. Ronald Reagan made it possible for companies to steal from their employees and I'm sure State Governments are doing the same thing.
Enron had over a billion dollars in their pension fund in the early 80's. Then they started taking loans against it (thank you Reagan) Then they started taking the cash and putting their inflated stock in there to replace it.
You know you guys are whining and complaining about these pensions when in reality this should be the norm, the standard for all Americans. Why let someone steal your future and then vote for them?

hahaha..
A lot of us are multi-millionaires. My pension fund lump sum will be well over a million when I retire at 59 1/2. That's not even including my 401K
