'because people are willing to pay dues' ...WILLING??? the people have NO SAY in whether or not the money is taken from them....theres nothing 'willing' about it.
Americans that care about kids should do what they have to do to keep as little of their money as possible out of the hands of public schools and teachers' unions.
Wow...just when I thought liberals couldn't say anything else that was stupid...then this. At least he's being honest, it's not about the kids or giving them good schools or a good education, it's about POWER for the union employees. What a typical union, lawyer scumbag. this, boys and girl, is the exactly what's wrong with our country today.
They do care about children, they do have a vision for a great public school for every child.
The fact that they are effective because of power and money is because that is what matters when it comes to lobbying. They are lobbying because they care about children. Get a clue.
His point is that caring about children is not enough to have the power to change. You anti-union people are really reaching here. Fox News is disgusting.
I've heard the entire speech. This was taken completely out of context and was in 2009 at his retirement speech. He was saying that what the people who attack NEA because "It is not about..." this clip. I found the entire speech on youtube.
1) Fails to mention any greater context of the video, which may reveal a larger point than the single shocking statement advertised in the title.
2) Doesn't realize that the phrase at the end of the statement is the most important. "...because they believe that we are the Unions that can most effectively represent them." That's always been the point of a Union. Representation.
Gee, I sure would like to hear all of this and not just the clip. I am sure that there is more said here than in this clip. Also, please note that he never says NEA, "does not care about children"; he he says it is, "not because we care". This is a very different thing! Get real people, of course teachers and NEA care about the children!
They are shameless!! They are saying it loud and clear and the dumbies that support the teacher's unions still don't get it. Good for Governor Walker...he stood his ground and did the right thing.
Wait. I got a question. Is he currently still the head of some union? It seems like economic suicide to be saying what he is saying?
I am quite shocked to see this honestly. I dont support unions to begin with, but I never would think a union person would blatantly go on television and basically say "We suck"
I am shocked that that due said " We don't care about the kids." How the hell do these assholes get funding? A better question is why does anyone fund a teachers union that admits they don't care about the students?
but these people are dumb and think that unions help them! by stealing their money... then if they don't pay the dues the unions threaten them - then the money these unions do collect which he said was 3.2 MILLION dollars goes for lavish parties for the union leaders not the teachers - then if there is any Cash $ left they steal the money that is to be in the pensions of the teachers.... I mentioned they were dumb right?
@BlessedONE333returnz I had been hearing about this man and how he said "we don't care about the kids", but I didn't he actually said it. After I watched the clip I was stunned that he actually spoke those words. These people are obviously not here to help students, but to fill their pockets with taxpayer money. Why are these people still being funded? Do these unions hold such much power that they can control elections or something?
@ZM7241994 "It is not because we care about children, and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and it's affiliates are effective advocates because we have power..."
we don't know what "IT" is he is talking about in the beginning
@ZM7241994 Trying to get you convinced of the notion that you don't know what he means because you're nto in his head. at best i think he chose the wrong way to portray something. At worst he's a money and power hungry person who looks to be at least in a mid-level leadership position
@nottinmatterz2day I don't see how anyone can interpret his statement a different way. In my opinion, he was saying that the teachers unions don't care about the children, or giving them a good education, and the only thing they do care about is power.
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE THE MONEY THEY DO - NOT FOR THE KIDS - BECAUSE IT'S THE KIDS AND THEIR CHILDREN WHO WILL HAVE TO PAY THOSE PENSIONS AND OVER THE TOP BENEFITS THESE EVIL UNIONS ARE DEMANDING
GO BACK TO TROLLING ON SUBJECTS YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND - IDIOT
How stupid do you have to be to support the corporations? Strictly speaking he is correct. It is the union's job to represent the rank and file members. Of course, if you're stupid enough to support the corporatocracy, then you're too stupid to understand that.
IT COMES FROM UNION MEMBERS WHO COULD USE THAT MONEY FOR THEIR FAMILIES
SO BASICALLY YOU ARE A TAKER =- YOU TAKE THINGS THAT YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITED TO BUT ARE NOT
UNIONS ARE CAUSING BUSINESS TO LEAVE THE NATION BECAUSE THEY CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO DO BUSINESS HERE -IT'S NOT COST EFFECTIVE TO BE TAXED TO DEATH AND THEN PAY WAY TOO MUCH TO WORKERS IN BENEFITS LIKE PENSIONS WHICH ARE STOLEN BY UNIONS
It is NOT Nothing Nor Zero to do with the kids.... Exactly Blessed! They take your money to sit on their rears and play poker all day long eatin Dunkin Donuts Greedy 7 sin suckers all these idiots are lining up.. .Next!
so uh. ghost brought me a here a few seconds ago.

@BlessedONE333returnz you can not watch this clip and honestly say that NEA doesn't care about children. Eric Bolling is a Glenn Beck wannabe.
The point is that teachers unions don't have power because they care about children, that speaks more about the right than anything.
