The bastion of liberalism and the progressive's hero, FDR was totally opposed to unionization of public employees.

In New Jersey? No, because the taxes are sky high thanks to our tax and spend politicians who were in bed with the unions.

Wrong! The war against the uber rich who don't pay their fair share of taxes. The war to fight for the middle class once and for all!

shhhhh.

I lean left and am opposed to public employee unions. Seems like common sense to me.

Money involved with Politics is what is wrong with our political system, that and an abundance of mouth breathers.

We are all Wisconsin. We are all Americans."


You can put in your zip code to see all events in your area and the details. Time to show the tea party radicals what REAL grass roots is all about!

I bet a lot of people show up. The idea of getting paid more than you are worth is very attractive, even if it is not sustainable.

Patently absurd. Everyone pays their property tax, or loses their home. Same with renters who pay property tax via the rent their landlords collect, part of which is used to pay the tax.

Oh for g-d's sake, private cops? Yeah, because that would stop corruption. GMAFB.

How about the $2BILLION a year doled out to RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS stop sucking on the public teat, huh? Let them do their own damn fundraising!

$2 BILLION.

Per YEAR!

$2 BILLION.

That could put a hellofa lot of people to work for a long, long time!

Republicans keep telling me they're sooooo generous and give to charities at such high levels. Well, DO IT! Stop taking MY money to funnel to religious organizations that preach crap I do not support. You want to defund Planned Parenthood (who doesn't use a dime of federal money for abortions, btw) because you don't agree with what they do? FINE, BE CONSISTENT!

$2 BILLION PER YEAR to RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS.

Get religious institutions off the government teat!!!!!!!
