Where does one start on such an outrage as we are seeing from many of the public employees who work for the state of Wisconsin. From the state that brought us the the excess of collective bargaining, where bus drivers for the city of Madison can make up to $162,000 a year including benefits, where teachers call in sick for four days straight without fear of discipline, thanks to the bloated and obese unions, to attend rallies state wide, abandoning their students whom they 'so deeply care for' and the list goes on and on.
To Governor Walker and those politicians that are trying to simply bring a bit of parity, sanity to the arena of what and how much the public workers have to pay for their insurance and ability to completely CONTROL the entire process of negotiating wages, benefits, bravo for standing up to, not giving in and capitulating to the unions. Or those public employees who have abandoned their charges and are getting paid for playing hooky.
What is the evil Governor Walker and his fellow conservatives asking for? The public employees of Wisconsin pay a measly 12% of their health care costs, to pitch in a sacrifice like the rest of us have had to do whether we wanted to or not. Walker is also trying to save between 5,000-6,000 jobs but no, that does not matter to these nefarious commies of entitlement who have become and are behaving like spoiled, rotten children. Throwing tantrums, using threats and intimidation against the Conservatives who are trying to bring some semblance of order and responsibility back to the state budget which by the way, is in a flaming free fall.
So how do these spoiled brats, supported by yours and my tax dollars respond? The chief community organizer and activist himself, barrack hussein obama, the first muslim, islamist, potus calls in his komrades to send the storm troopers of the unions from OTHER states to support the 'have their cake and eat it too(and ours)ranks of those public employees who have been sucking off of all of us for far too long. Yes, Walker wants to bring an end to the endless, totalitarian extremism of collective bargaining as we know it today. Bravo for that too, Governor Walker. This is about sacrifice for those who have given up VERY little in the past like many of us have been forced to do. How many of us would love to just have to pay for roughly 12% of our health insurance premiums and bit more of our retirement plans? I know I would and how many of us have neither, or even a job anymore, or have seen our hours and wages get nibbled away or be gone forever? Yet all the while the unions ensure their ranks get fatter and feel that they DESERVE more entitlements at our cost, and a horrendous cost to our children?
My hat is off to those public workers in Wisconsin who STAYED at their jobs, were in the classrooms, teaching our kids, behind the counter, doing their jobs and perhaps being very thankful they still had a job with benefits and retirement. I have some friends in Wisconsin who are horrified by what they are seeing from these spoiled brat baby communists flocking to their state, not to mention the fact that the potus is too stupid and arrogant to keep his nose out of local state issues. Two of these friends are retired school teachers who are disgusted and embarrassed by what they are witnessing. Democrats who are too cowardly to stand up and vote, take the heat of defeat of their corrupt and bankrupt policies. These cowardly liberals fled to Illinois and Ohio rather than do the job they were voted in to do. Impressive? No, not even close and why do you think these libtards lost control of the state in the last election?
Before anyone attacks me; I am a state employee. I am a temp with no benefits and limited hours and live in a state that has been ravaged by a bad economy and is the wreckage of progressive and liberal policies for the last two decades. I work part time and love what I do; helping those who are out of work obtain certification, proof of their workplace experience and job ready skills. I would jump at the chance to get on a limited duration, permanent part time or full time position and be happy to pay 12% of my benefits costs. Heck, I would gladly pay more than that and for retirement too. I would also officially request that my union dues go to a NON POLITICAL cause or organization, which I can do. Personally I do not ever want one cent to go to either the democrat or republican party or any such organization. The union also has to refund the majority of my dues(if I ever get a position where I must face this problem)at the end of each year when one chooses to do this. Guess what? I am not alone in our region in how I feel. I cannot divulge much information out of respect for my co-workers and superiors nor do I want to jeopardize the program I run, I work with an outstanding group of professionals who are there for one reason. That is to serve those who walk in the door seeking our assistance in finding employment and re-training in one of the most depressed regions in the country.
Below you will find numerous links to what is going on in Wisconsin and beyond. Thanks for reading my opinion and yes, I feel very strongly about this. Unions need to change or become extinct and their members need to grow up and learn to sacrifice before they too become a statistic in the ranks of the unemployed. PatriotUSA
