And as proven by the situation in Wisconsin many Republicans believe any collective bargaining is a priviledge to be discarded at their whim.

Give me a break. If the teachers want raises above and beyond the Consumer Price Index, they are free to bring it up as a referendum item to be voted on by those who pay their salaries... the taxpayers. Please, explain why this is a bad thing? Nobody in this thread seems to want to address that.

Don't think of it as an "arbitrary and automatic raise" above the CPI taken from the taxpayer. Think of it as a "state tax refund adjustment" conveniently drawn from your paycheck.

All of this positive thinking has me farting rainbows. Better take a Beano next time.

I like FOX. they are a good source for material. I do notice, like Hanutty, you don't want to to talk about Walker in Milwaukee County.
