Ah, you stepped right in my point (dont worry, the shoe will wash off).
SC's economy is doing quite well!! The state gave huge tax deals to massive companies like Boeing, Amazon, BMW, etc, and they are bringing a lot of business here....to our low tax, non union state.
But the TP'ers have preached that if we cut taxes and grow business....then government revnues will GO UP!!!! THus, enabling the state/city to take care of it's workers.
Well, SC govt workers (teachers, cops, firemen) are all non-union and already among the lower paid of the 50 states in their field. SC's economy is doing great, revenues are UP!!!!
Yet, the Tea Party Queen is cutting pay/benefits for them anyway.
Its outright ideology that she is cutting teacher, police, fire pay/benefits. Not necessity. Same goes for most of the states primary cities, such as Charleston, Greenville, North Charleston, Columbia, Mount Pleasant.
Revenues are up. Businesses are blossoming. And the govt is cutting their already undercompensated employees anyway.
Oh poor, poor Progressive. Your economic theories only result in poverty and failure and you can only be the pooh flinging monkey.
Here's a thought: get some economic idea that don't suck and fail 100% of the time, then we'll talk.
OK?
Wow, once again, jumping to conclusions. You make a fine Tea Party mascot I'm sure.
My economic theory wouldn't include massive welfare. Or massive food stamp programs. Or recreation departments, or funding arts and culture centers. Or many of the other massive govt spending projects the right wing hates.
Nope. Mine would be fairly basic. But it would NOT include fucking over cops, firemen and teachers.
And the Tea Party's current theory does just that.
Which is why I'm voting Democrat.
It's quite simple.
We need to reform public employee pay and benefits. If that's the reason for your becoming an Obama Fluffer, it looks like you didn't really need a reason in the first place.
