You have strange fantasies. Why do you hate working people? Say this on the mccain trail too. Maybe it's time to reconsider the electoral college.
Maybe working people are tired of paying for other working people.
Maybe the private sector with their lower wages, lost pensions, devalued 401K's are not going to pay anymore.
Maybe you should be going after the Bill Gates of the world; they have plenty of money to be used for the "poor working people".
The people who are upset ARE THE WORKING PEOPLE.
You are asking the taxpayers to bail out unions.
We all don't have printing presses in our basements you know.
FANTASTIC, this is going to go over about the way the day without illegals working did a couple of years ago in CA. People then said bye bye don't let the door hit you on the way out.
These days unions are going to get the same boot with their elite pay, benefits, free health care and retirements fit for kings on taxpayer's dollar.
Time for them to hit the road and to ban collective bargaining in anything connected with government.
And all of these idiots should be fired for not going to work.
With the Obama economy as bad as it is how do these people take time off of work to strike and disrupt things in our streets like this?
Every single union members who calls in sick or does not show up for work should be automatically fired and their benefits taken away for breaching their contracts.
In trhe end the voters have spoken and the budgets have to be cut. The etqchers may rally but other who have alreqdy thajken cuts and paid more are not going to budge just because the recessio has caught up to teachers and public employeees shirlded by the stimulus for last two eyars. most public employeee saw it coming and have settled already . Teachers think tehy are special but they are notas they will soon see.
I'm hoping they'll be outnumbered by the taxpayers who have to foot the bill for their bennies!
The unions were quickly becoming irrelevant anyway. When this is over, the average American will think of public union employees the same way they think of career welfare queens.
That's not fair - they actually do work. But....
- they will appear ungrateful, greedy, clueless, and obsolete

You don't But every Union thinks we do.
What are their collective bargaining gripes going to be:
We need Maternity leave - done
We need an 8 hour day with two 15 minute breaks - done
We need paid vacation - done
We need paid holidays - done
We need arbitration before firing - done
We need time and 1/2 working off hours - done
We need health care - done
We need a pension - done
We need etc.....
We need, we need, we need
Not to mention all of this is already been put in Federal and State Labor laws.
We need, we need, we need, holding the taxpayers
prisoner.
We need to say NO

Maybe it is - since many are leaving unionized states.
Northern States are loosing population. 22 states have
right to work laws - they are in the west and the south.
