Nice to see so many Leftists don't have to actually WORK for a living off of the taxpayer's dime, eh?

Are they foolish enough to think that's going to thwart Democracy enough to stop lawfully elected officials from passing legislation that coincides with the voice of the American people?

Who'd work in their place? These are not 8 dollar an hour meat hacking jobs, to train a teacher is a long job in itself.

We're at 10% unemployment in this country, if you count the people who've given up looking for a job we're closer to 14%. There are tons of people out there who'll gladly take those jobs and once you get the union thugs out of the middle these people will still get paid great and have all the typical benefits of an employee.

We will definately be recording what these union thugs say and do. Half of our people will be counter-protesting and half will be mingling with the crazies.
