They claim this is an assault on personal freedoms and "rights" by the government. Is it really? Amid all this screeching is an irony so ridiculous it's almost laughable. These people, all union Democrats, are complaining about infringement of rights yet it is likely most all of them adamantly supported Obamacare, arguably the largest assault on individual rights in the history of this country. These people claim to be the ones who support the working man.......as long as they belong in an organized union. Unless you are, you don't count. What's more ironic, these leftists love big government, and here, they are arguing about government's intrusiveness into their lives. Why, they would make great Tea Partiers! Isn't this supposed to be the party of personal sacrifice for the benefit of all? Here's your big chance.
Let's take the teachers from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On average, they earn a yearly salary of $100,000/year. In my mind, these people have nothing to protest. It is appalling that these government workers, most of whom make more money than they contribute, would skip work to complain about their "rights", and drag their apolitical students into their own political battle, for their own political and personal gain. This proposed bill is no more a trampling of rights than Obama is a Republican, and you can take that to the bank. Unions protect unproductive workers. Unions are the primary reason for Detroit going under. Unions are the root of the problem!
Governor Scott Walker was elected fair and square. He was elected by the majority of Wisconsin citizens to do this job. The actions of this small, union minority, and yes they most certainly are the minority despite what the media would tell you, are a slap in the face to the people of Wisconsin and taxpayers in general.
I said I'd get down to the nitty gritty and here it is. Wisconsin is broke. If the masses of idiots who have converged on Madison get their way there is only one other alternative. Mass layoffs. So the way I see it they have a choice. Either...
A) Accept the distinct possibility of losing your job.
or
B) Sit down, shut up, and make a little sacrifice for the good of the state.
Because that's what leftists are all about, right?

That's about the size of it. Unionized public employees are ALWAYS a bad deal. Prices go continually up; service goes continually down.
They participated in the boom, and now they reject the bust.
They are children.
Liberals only know what they want. Nothing else matters.
