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
All at the expense of the taxpayer, which gets royally screwed from public sector unions.
Are we ready for the biggest laugh of all tonight?
Obama's response;
Quote:
“While tonight’s outcome was not what we had hoped for – no one can dispute the strong message sent to Governor Walker. Hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites from all walks of life took a stand against the politics of division and against the flood of secret and corporate money spent on behalf of Scott Walker, which amounted to a massive spending gap of more than $31 million to $4 million,” Tripp Wellde, campaign state director, said in a statement.
“It is a testament to all of those individuals who talked to their friends, neighbors, and colleagues about the stakes in this election of how close this contest was. The power of Wisconsin’s progressive, grassroots tradition was clearly on display throughout the run up to this election and we will continue to work together to ensure a brighter future for Wisconsin’s middle class,” Wellde said.
Except for when it came time to vote, you were outnumbered by the Red Tide of conservatism.....again.
Madison - Voters dealt a blow to the nation's public sector unions Tuesday in the state that first granted them broad bargaining power more than a half century ago.
Though public unions will not disappear as a result, they were the clear losers in a race that confirmed Gov. Scott Walker as a national star for Republicans. They now have no prospects for recovering what they lost, with neither the money nor manpower they had when Walker rose to office.
They were warned NOT to get instigate the recall...too costly, too close to a huge presidential election...but of course they didn't listen.
Walker got more votes tonight than he did in 2010.
The Left/dems/unions and their disgusting behavior and tactics were taught a lesson tonight by the voters of WI.
I AM A UNION WORKER, I am not the problem. Teachers, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, road workers, construction trades, etc. are NOT the enemy. If you're jealous of our benefits, FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN!, not against ours. The rich who created this crisis are putting middle class families against each other. We live here, pay taxes, work hard & try to support our families too.
That being said... Walker please let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya
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.

I know somebody
The reality of most union workers is that they are not very educated or hard working, they just happen to know somebody in the union
Guys giving other guys reach arounds to get unsustainable and undeserved bennies
The governor of Wisconsin. He's faced a lot of backlash from the left over the past 1.5 years for instituting a bunch of reforms that closed the state deficit if I'm not mistaken and also really cut down on public sector unions.
Then I gather you support government getting auctioned off to the highest bidders.
The funniest thing about what you just said sounds like you don't understand that the unions really got their butts stomped. Also, you don't seem to realize that the Tea Party and lots of small people like me beat their millions of dollars. Now they don't have the money to help Obama as he hoped they could when he failed to help the Dems in this one.
I guess in your thinking the little people managed, through organization, to outbid the unions. Is that right?
