What do the nutty unions expect of any WI governor? Simple - Tax the hell out of the state's taxpayers to pay for their greedy demands.

The taxpayers have had enough! No more!

Unions are for high school dropouts and people too stupid to negotiate the value of their own labor.

Or for those whose labor has little value, but want to be grossly overpaid at someone else's expense - and given benefits way beyond what their skillsets would normally earn them.

Besides...the government wants to be the ones to tax the hell out of us! Not someone else! If the dust ever settles from this and other union issues, I think the light will shine where it should...on government spending and the subsequent, and seemingly inevitable, taxation deemed necessary to fund that spending.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, join a union.

The right are hilarious in this thread with all the lies they believe
The teachers in that state who have masters and grad school degrees make on average about 25k a year to start and the veteran teachers around 47K which is just national average wages. Those greedy union thugs
