Are you still so stupid as to support unions??

Well, well well.........

Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with the collective bargaining for teacher's unions? The results are in. Some school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result. Why?


It seems that the insurance company that provided all the "so-called" benefits to the teachers, was an insurance company owned and operated by the teacher's union. Since they were guaranteed to get the insurance business from the teachers and the State had to pay for it, and not the teachers, they were increasing the annual costs every single year to become the most expensive insurance company in the state.

Then the insurance company was donating millions and millions of dollars to their favorite democrat politicians, who, when got elected, guaranteed to keep funding the unions outrageous costs. In other words, the insurance company was a "pass through" for Wisconsin taxpayer money directly to the democrat politicians.

Nice racket...........</p>

I can't believe it the Free-market actually worked. Where is Obama when we need him? We need some more Gov't and Union control. Good Read!! We are going to start filling the jails up with Politicians and Union Leaders.

This will continue until we elect people who put the country/state/county first, not themselves. How do you say "HONEST"?

Its sad about Unions, as they did have a place and purpose in the past. Now it seems as they are nothing more than sanctioned Mobsters as they routinely extort and hold hostage businesses, towns, cities, and in some cases whole states. I do feel for some of the workers who are stuck in the unions as I have a friend who is in one and is a staunch patriot and does not believe in the liberal policies of his union. An easy way we could put an end to unions is to limit any single contribution to ANY political campaign to $100 per person or company. They need to put a stop to these $45000 dollar a meal dinners as they just use them as a way to get contributions. Make the meal price no higher than $100 and that would put a sever crimp on any hold the Unions have on politicians.
