When they're paid with taxpayers money, then it's our business. They aren't. It isn't. I have no real issue with private sector unions. It's the bastards sucking the taxpayer dry that's the problem. Public sector employees are paid for by us, we pay for their greed.
*I'm not saying that all public sector people are greedy - but their unions are destroying the country.*
4% of government workers are sucking us dry?
CG: Want pancakes - yum!
Acutally its 36.2 percent of govt workers that are unionized. And yeah they are. Look at California for gosh sakes.
The amount of unionized workers in the US is just over 11%, with 7.5% being in the private sector. That leaves around 4% of the remaining Union members working in government. Of course there are substantially fewer people working in government, so yes, 36% of government workers belong to Unions. But that is still only around 4% of all workers nationwide.
So the economic crisis was brought about by 4% of the workers making less than a hundred thousand a year? Of course not. That is just plain crazy.
So, if Republicans actually believe that so few middle class people are responsible, do they also feel the cost of Iraq and tax breaks for the wealthy had nothing to do with it?
Since their tax cuts for the rich didn't help, what happens if we go after these people and that doesn't help? What's next?
