So you want to punish the "rich" while the unions want to punish everyone? Doesn't sound like an ideal situation.

Government unions protect incompetence; if that's not a reason to slash their clout, I don't know what is.

Too funny, I never knew the American dream was collective bargaining and inferior schools!

For the middle class? No. It's the unions vs. the middle class. The tell is the crushing property tax bills.

THIS is why the left can't win arguments. They post such asinine things that people just can't take them seriously. What's scary is that some of them believe themselves.

Thankfully, this is the death throes of the public employees union.

Abolish EPA, OSHA and IRS, GOP US House District 5 candidate says - Decaturdaily.com

If the Koch brothers and the rest of the crazyass Republicans had their way (and you, yours), we'd all be living back in the 1800s.

You don't see anyone wanting to repeal them? TAKE OFF YOUR PARTISAN BLINDERS, DUDE!

We're fighting for people like YOU, dammit! What is it you don't GET about that?

$2 BILLION.

Per YEAR!

$2 BILLION.

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!!!!!!!
Get the government off the religious organizations teat. Without the Church, you'd have no hospitals or charities. The VAST majority of these are run by religious organizations. There are VERY few secular ones worth mentioning.

And I love the imaginary numbers the left makes up. If they say it enough times and use caps lock enough, they think they'll enlighten people to their garbage.
