Gas Prices R Skyrocketing Under Obama: Oil futures is just that, futures market. Price-per-barrel spikes oil this week have not affected domestic market yet. Iin face former Shell Oil Pres John Hofmeister predicted in Dec 2010, America would face $5/gal gas by 2012, a full month before the revolution in Egypt began. At the end of Bush’s two terms in office, prices were 9% lower than when he took office. The day before Obama was inaugurated average price of a gal was $1.83.
Charlie This Wisconsin State had a 120 mil. Surplus of state money before WALKER. This is BS he got two reps from the house to charge some fictitious taxes and stole their surplus and charged them 240 to make their deficit 120 Mil.
Why should corporations pay taxes anyway? The employees pay taxes on their wages. The share holders pay taxes on their dividends and on any profit when they sell their shares.
Tax is already being paid on any profit that comes out of a corporation by the people taking the money out. Any further tax is double taxation.
Term limits for legislators and abolition of public sector unions would accomplish much more than any more FAKE corporate taxes.
@magnum090909 So you think its ok that corporations who post record profits such as GE last year not only paid zero taxes but in the case of GE (and some others) received a tax credit of nearly $3 billion? All while the top executives received millions in salary and bonuses? All this being on on the back of ordinary Americans who are being fleeced dry?
You're a complete ass. Corporations never pay taxes, they pass them on to the consumer. If you raise taxes on corporations the prices on everything just goes up. You should be railing against the corrupt public sector unions and the corrupt politicians who give them everything they want at the taxpayer's expense in return for campaign contributions. Public sector unions are sucking the states dry with their exorbitant wages and pensions.
There was a time and place in our history when unions were sorely needed and truly did represent the "common man" and workers and did them (us) a great service. Now, however, for the most part, they are too big, too powerful, and too corrupt. The tail is wagging the dog at this point. Look what unions did for the automobile industry in this country. Nope, I disagree with you here Charlie.
The sad truth is that no one wants to be equal; they want an edge. The unions in Wisconsin are no different. I have little pity for them when federal law enforcement agencies are not even allowed to have a union.
The Wisconsin Retirement System pension fund made a $10.5 Billion dollar profit (return on investment) in fiscal year 2009, and a $5.4 Billion dollar profit in fiscal year 2010.
over $632 million in taxpayer money went to support this pension fund system in the form of government employer contributions, which could have gone to support government activities that would support the taxpayers themselves or to pay off debt.
So the states investments (taxpayer money) are at risk of loss with no recovery or insurance while it is being invested without the consent or knowledge and comprehension of the taxpaying public.
You're not to well thought out if you think the financial problems of the state of Wisconsin have the same genisis as the financial problems of the country .
Attack the CORRUPTION in the unions--not the unions themselves.
Most people cannot get their heads around this because they are brainwashed by the MSM day in and day out. The People's voice must remain strong, yet we must route out the Corruption within the unions.
The only reason I don't support the teacher's unions is because it is members of our government, lobbying members of our government, for more money from.... Our government.
I am fine with private sector unions, I am 100% against public sector unions--Just like FDR was.
One of the 12 Step programs has a saying, "One is too many and a thousand is never enough". These too-big-to-fail "Money Junkies" (as Gerald Celente calls them) are the same as any addict wanting "just one more hit...", "just one more blast...", etc. Cold Turkey is what these b@stards need...
The RIGHT to negotiate, collective bargaining, with fellow employees, organized where United we Stand divided we fall is the motto is the peoples rights, lest we all work for China type wages and conditions.
Its HOW Unions got their start here in the states in the 1st place.
Striking Miners in West Virginia had bombs dropped on them and their families by President Wilson, bet you didnt know that either.
Organized Labor has given the US worker-Retirement, Weekends, Safety Laws, Benefits etc
While I fundamentally agree that unions may not be necessarily responsible for our current state of affairs (debatable).. I disagree with having to pay for someones pension and healthcare when I myself have none. Lets kill the banks, I think we all agree on that. But lets kill the govenment unions as well.. I can't believe you stand with those protesters Charlie.. WOW!
Like your children at school Rather than working in a factory, in dangerous conditions?
Thanks to the Unions
Like Unemployment? Retirement Benefits? A Safe workplace?
Thanks to Unions
Unions have been Our only buffer to the Zionist Elite criminals running this country, who would would gladly shop out your job to China at $2 an hour and will.
The replies you get are funny to me. “You don’t understand economics.” “You don’t understand how the market works.” Your most upvoted reply is an argument in favor of shipping jobs offshore. Here’s the truth: if there were labor laws which consistently and fundamentally prevented worker exploitation there would be no unions, yet in a “lottery culture” which prioritizes wealth over community you will never have such laws. That’s why we’re moving towards anarchy.
There's no money left in the states to support 70k pensions. And the States are made up by the people who live in those states. They're broke and unemployed!
Are you insane? The bailouts were done by the fed for the bankster scumbags.
The backs of the citizens are where they'll strap your local municipality bailouts. Via astronomical property taxes, state income taxes and sales taxes.
Which will the turn the entire country into Detroit!
To me, it makes no difference whether a person backs the unions or not. The problem there, is the same as the problems in most states. There is no more money to pay their oversized pensions and cadilac health care plans. The state is broke. Everyone is broke. The union membership can cry till the cows come home. at the end of the day, the state is still broke. I'm happy for anyone who can get a pension plan that good, just don't expect me to pay for it. remember----broke.
@thaboomer53 -- Excellent post. You hit the nail on the head. What part of the negative state budget would the WI teacher's union like their members to absorb? I mean, let's be fair and all. Bottom line: There is no money.
50 yrs ago, US was ranked #1 out of all the developing nations... Ever since the Govt took over our schools we went from #1 to last place as it stands this year !!!
What does that tell you about the future of America...
Who really runs the govt, and who is destroying this country from the inside out ???
Watch "THE ZIONIST MATRIX POWER IN AMERICA" ..... Dr. Duke dares to tell you... Wake up people, there isnt much time left..
But Charlie, FDR even said, "the right to collective bargaining can't be transplanted to the public sector". I'm not calling you names and I agree with you that we are on the precipice of collapse.
Finally someone gets it! This bullshit about the unions vs. the tea parties is a totally contrived and manipulated occurrence. I hope that both sides wake up and realize that they are in the same fight. This fight starting in Wisconsin is a distraction to keep people's attention off who is really to blame for our financial woes. . The large banks and corporations who bankrupted our country and are now trying to take even more from the little guy union worker and privateer alike.
@wthf5 You are so right. it's all a distraction. The very fact of many, many states like Wisconnsin being totally broke IS the key issue. not whether you're union or not. In the end, the unions are going to lose, and so is any other state taxpayer who has to make up the deficit spending. The unions are just a good example of, 'there is no free lunch". Someone has to pay for those great benefit packages, and it's their turn to pony up, or be without a job. It's that simple.
I do not agree with you, government unions make no sense, O said I will create or save x amount of jobs, now you know why he saved the government jobs and did very little to help the rest of us. I may un sub ! shame
I "sort of" agree with you and "sort of" don't...the every day average worker who happens to be union is not to blame. The Union leaders/elite are, as are the politicians. The average union Joe, is being used by the Union,
any times, they don't even have a choice on whether to join if they want a job. I believe that a contract is a contract and they must be respected, however, contracts can be renewed in a different way.
@pepintheshort100 But isn't is sad that you had to do that? I tell my son to question, explore, reason it out. If it doesn't make sense than something is wrong. You taught your daughter to go along to get along, be non-confrontational. In the little things I guess it makes no difference. What about the big issues though? That's why we will never break out of this system, most people are afraid to break the peace, to rock the boat. Youtube search John Gatto.
@pepintheshort100 Who taught your kids to count, tie their shoes, their colors, and on and on?? You did (I'm assuming). Teaching is a natural skill, it does not have to be learned. We have been told by the establishment to leave it to the professionals (so they can brainwash our kids). Another assumption I'm going to make is that you spent time with your kids when they got home from school. I'm glad to hear that your kids made it through the indoctrination system relatively unscathed:)
The Governments Bad....Fema's out to get us....Prepare for Austerity!!! Damnit Charlie........THAT IS ALL YOU GOT!!! Not once have i heard you offer any sort of solution or advocate a peaceful resolution to any of this??? Im starting to think you're a NWO FEARMONGER paid to scare the shit out of your fellow countrymen!? What are YOU gonna do about it??? Scare people into a violent revolt??? No one wins with Violence. This is my last visit to your channel
Jewish pigs control most of the financial. Talk all you want. Every one of you 'truthers" sidestep that fact. It's not about 'religion'. Those fuks consider themselves a 'master-race'. They're worst than Nazi's.
The last of America's organized resistance is now the government's scapegoat. Any problems collective bargaining creates pales in comparison to what government overall does to destroy our once great nation.
Charlie: You're not informed. Wisconsin has among the highest property and personal income taxes in the nation. The bailouts you are speaking about were done on a federal level, not a state level. Wisconsin is BROKE -- the teachers' unions an state employee unions pay NOTHING towards cadillac health care and stratospheric pensions. Why should the rest of the taxpayers in Wisconsin pay more in STATE TAXES to fund unsustainable benefits that no other taxpayer here has?
@celtica1965 I have to agree with you here. I see the unions and the crap they retain in terms of workers, especially at the county hospital, any many places abroad that are union. There is no push in the quality of services rendered from government union workers, get rid of it!
@celtica1965 You are selling us the loss of the people's voice because the economy was deliberately imploaded. It is the governemnt that should be reduced in power not the unions, for deliberately imploading the economy.
THE TAX-PAYERS ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT. NOT THE UNIONS.
GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD BEFORE YOU THINK.
THE TAX-PAYERS ARE SUFFERING BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT. NOT THE UNIONS.
@celtica1965 Wisconsin had a budget surplus before Walker came to office and gave tax breaks to his corporate backers. The unions agreed to the budget cuts but Walker still insisted on stripping them of their rights to collective bargaining. This is not about the economy, it is about stripping workers of their rights. Notice that he exempted the police and figherfighters unions from this - the two unions that supported his election campaign.
Sorry you get the grief here Charlie, but I knew it was comming. Anytime the squeeze gets futher clamped down the reaction is the same. Left vs. right, here we come. Basics are sorely lacking Im afraid. People better get a grip on the most basic right quick. What it is to be a human being and look another one in the eye and see onesself. Thank you so much for what you are doing. Peace
I think it was Benito Mussolini who said "Fascism should called Corporatism". Thomas Jefferson warned that the creation of a Central Bank would lead to Corporations taking over that grow up around the Central Bank.
So, what is the answer? That's simple. DESTROY the Federal Reserve and have the US Congress issue the money DEBT FREE.
Either that or continue to be economic slaves to the issuers of currency via usury and taxation.
For those of you who don't pay taxes, find an economy where you don't have to and see how the people live, how the people are schooled, how the people survive. Third world economies is the real life practice of when governments are nothing more than postal workers.
watch the chris martensen crash course. it is free on utube or on his website. it is 3 hrs,so maybe watch the condensed version first. this will blow your mind. unions are great in an ideal world,but there is NO money. i appreciate your passion,though. i promise this video series is absolutely incredible.
I have no sympathy for anyone who gets a paycheck from people who are forced to pay taxes. I have no sympathy for anyone who has a job because the government steals from me. I want these Union people to get paid as little as fucking possible, naturally.
Charlie expresses hostility toward bureaucrats. That's a lot of people. There are around 20 million government employees in the USA, and tens of millions more depend on government funding. John Maynard Keynes, Fabian Socialist economist, designed the system, which involves waste and corruption everywhere.
@DeathKorps94 When Exxon Mobil and Bank of America pay ZERO...I repeat....ZERO in federal taxes they are ENEMY # 1. Break the corporations save AMERICA!
Public unions have no place in a democracy because they're paid with taxes; we elect people to tell them what to do. . If teachers don't like the situation, they can always go to work for a charter or private school.
On the other hand, corporations hate public unions. Anything corporations hate must be good. In theory anyway.
@budb11 i agree i00 % . what frustrates me is the amount of blue collar workers who would rather work for less wages , less benefits , less rights in general . i would much rather make 25 dollars an hour and get this , be able to save some money and not be a slave to credit .and who cares if gas costs 4 dollars a gallon or butter costs 8 dollars a pound . if i dont need it i dont buy it . not that simple i know . but organized more attainable . NWU .
I don't agree with you on this one Charlie. There are clear links between radical elements that want to bring this country down and the unions. I agree we can't lose focus against the banks and that should be addressed however these unions are proving to be thugs looking for conflict. There are countless videos on youtube showing just that. The budget has to be balanced asking a teacher to contribute 6% to her retirement to avoid being laid off is not asking much,
This just struck me. The unemployment is at 20%, at best, right? I've been told by my younger brother, trying to seek work, that security companies are a "go-to" for any of us "too-stubborn-to-fails" to find a semi-assured "Yes, you're hired!" What will these individuals do, what we be their jobs? To GUARD the companies run by these monopolies. It might NOT have been planned that way, but it sure as hell is a beneficial accident for them.
Ever noticed how difficult it is to nego. a price for something you are really attached to. Enter the NEGOTIATOR...thats all the Unions were supposed to be. We pay them a fee. Whats wrong with that.
.
Yes, managment hates not having a squirming poverty ridden work force trembling at their every whim, ready to dismember each other for a job that won't pay their bills. (so they can borrow from loan sharks {the central banks} and loose their homes). Its the American Way!
We're told not to play into 2 party games, but fuck that shit. Fucking Libertarian cuntservatives economic views are fucking insane. they are the most selfish S.o.b.s i have ever encountered. especially that visionvictory prick.
@RWBenjamin - Unions and Banks and Day Traders, you name them down the list, have no corner on greed. It is multi-racial, crosses all language barriers and HAS been the single biggest motivator of this country for 50 years. Like Geko said!
.
IT HAS been. What you refer to, is a growing awareness that what we share, we multiply, and what we hoard, we destroy. Wealth is now hoarded and stagnating, the end is close at hand. And so much the better, behind it is a place where abundance reigns.
A very important vid, Charlie. This is not about being for or against the Wisconsin Unions, it is about the fact that TPTB want to divide people on this matter in order for them to continue the looting of the USA. TPTB knows that this will divide people in two categories: the "leftists" and the "rightists". Wake the fuck up people! They have done this here in Europe for over 100 years. Divide and rule, that's their policy. Are you so blinded you can not see what is going on? Focus on the enemy!!
moveon.org George Soro's baby is behind the Union , do you really think this is grass roots like the Tea Party at it's beginnings? Workers Unite, Wear Red, over throw the Capitalist Gov. Charlie are you serious?
Excuse me but your first statement is not correct. Try not paying your property taxes for one year and see what happens. Around here (upstate NY - where we have some of the highest taxes in the nation), the tax bill is sent to the county commissioner of finance after 3 months. You have one year to pay in full (plus interest, plus fees), or else the town puts a lien on your home. They then begin the foreclosure process.
We need charter schools and a choice of where our tax money goes. the Teachers union is wrong...plain and simple and they are being co-opted by marxist forces....as in the past this will not end well for them. Yes the govt is screwing everything up. But remember it is by design. Do not let yourself get penned into a single mode of thinking. Think and react like an entrepeneur in all your dealings. Best of luck.
@RWBenjamin the basis for a union still stands . a fair wage for a fair days work . unions have been poisoned by heirarchy , but that can be changed . the membership if it unites and reinvents itself can rid itself of corruption . without unions , and yes they do have their faults, the honest working man is doomed . now is the time to re invent the unions . i cant live on minimum wage . and thats where were headed if we break them .
I get what you're saying but the property tax system is unjust and needs to go. More than 40% and in some cases 50% of a school's budget is tied to teacher salaries and more importantly benefits. We CANNOT continue to pay for these increases mandated through the unions. Think what you will, but this is an enormous problem. Many folks I know are losing their homes because they can no longer afford their taxes.
So from that perspective, how is this much different than the sub-crime crisis?
Doesn't make sense that people work against their own interests. I haven't seen a tea partier protest the ridiculous payout packages that company management as a whole get for not even performing. Any regular union benefits is a mere pittance to what the top in the corporate world get as regular perks.
Of course, all the naysayers ejoyed working OT for straight time at their minimum wage Walmart greeter "job", and are simply jealous they don't have the balls to organize. And, they seemingly love working whatever hours they are told, no insurance, no retirement, no OT pay...just a "yessir" when told what to do: wussies. WE stopped child labor. We gave you pensions, health insurance, made the Banksters SHARE the proceeds of OUR labor. Koch suckers like those posting crap here: up yours.
Takes more balls to look your boss square in the face each day work smart &save those union dues,
better your position and move on when neccessary. Don't defeat yourself.
It's too easy playing follow the leader.There are a lot of good people in this world but you would not know that by blogging sites such as this one all day.Crabbydog does a good job but he needs balance.
Corrupt unions vs corrupt wallstreet bankers can't have it both ways.
any working man ( blue collar worker) , should be ralling around each other now . i cannot understand how a blue collar worker cannot be pro union . and the reasons i m given when i ask just cause me to shake my head . this man is correct in telling us to quit fighting amongst ourselves . us working class better unite , whether were black or white , catholic or muslim . react with logic not emotion . our enemy is the wealthy . german ,irish , chinese , indian . doesn t matter .
Very good video. I totally agree. XtremePacifist made some very good points on his/her comment. This whole union busting is just another way of putting more distance between the Rich and the Poor by crushing the Middle Class. This is just another scheme by big Corporations to take more away from the working class.
We simply DO NOT have the money. Yes, they are being screwed, but the corporations have nothing on the unions. If there is no more money, then you must take it from those who are getting it. (unions)
When a direct circuit of money is created i. e. tax money to wages to unions to politicians who vote on tax money, well you've got a dog of a different color.
You nailed it when you said they divide and rule us with the left/right paradigm.
The MSM is so important for the controllers because the masses will always accept as truth whatever they are fed.
A Trojan horse approach into MSM is the only way to wake up the masses.
Alex Jones reached 30 million people instantly on the View, and they never would have even looked into these truths, and even if only 3 percent start asking questions and seeking answers, that's progress, Peace.
And all these public worker's union cause our taxes to be astronomical. When I lived in NC paid WAY LESS in property taxes and our kid's school had bus service. Their school in Michigan doesn't even have bus service! And we pay out our rear end for prop taxes. That is messed up. My kids have to cross a 5-lane highway to get home after school. Our city creates reasons to employ workers. They sweep our streets when there's nothing on them to be swept. A complete waste of money!
I moved to Michigan nearly three years ago & discovered that teachers (they're all union here) make nearly three times as much as the ones in the state I moved from (NC). Why do union teachers get to make 3 times as much AND it is nearly impossible to fire them no matter how awful they are at teaching. People become teachers here for the money, not for the kids. In plants, union people aren't even allowed to help someone if they want to. They're only allowed to do "their job". Nuts!
@missjen516 "In plants, union people aren't even allowed to help someone if they want to. They're only allowed to do "their job". Nuts! " In other words, you are not a union worker and are making crap up. When I go to a hospital, I don't expect the janitor to remove a gallstone or lasik my eye.....and they aren't union: it's called doing YOUR job, try it instead of sucking Koch.
You goddamn commie pinko. I’m going to get you for this. Walking on my fiefdom and shit.
Just kidding. I’ve been a Christian Socialist for the past 5 years—even before the bailout. I just saw the WTO, IMF, American Enterprise Institute and Club For Growth for what they were. Bunch of shits making you hang on the cross for Ludwig Von Mises’ sins. Whatever. I got better things to die for.
I watch you Charlie..but no way do I back the unions that cost all of us money dont produce quailty anymore and control the left with all the cash that no one knows where it goes...other than this subject i agree with you most of the time..But not now...the civil up rising is upon us....
@DarktimePatriot, a talking anus erupts: ".but no way do I back the unions that cost all of us money dont produce quailty anymore and control the left with all the cash that no one knows where it goes..."
Yep. Tell it to the union mechanic servicing the jet you fly on, or the cop you call when someone scares you "patriot" nitwit.
Or, try telling an Iron Worker or Boilermaker they don't "produce quality anymore" and see if you can pick your worthless, Neocon, Fox IQ-level self off the ground.
@farang TYPICAL UNION response....Always talking out there ass with nothing do back it up except a loud mouth and nothing else... bail out unions over priced unions and over payed....your over the hill and worried your world is coming to a end....well you know what it is....
Why should I as a business owner have to pay for those peoples benefits ? For every dollar the teachers put into their retirment they get around 36 dollars of tax payers money. I must put 150 % into mine
What your saying is correct but it not relevent to Wisconsin... Wisconsin did not bail out AIG or any other corporation. The "Fed" is responsible on the national level... controlling both Dems and Reps. Wis is broke... must cut, no choice.
Fleecing the nation is the function of the criminal politics which is the figleaf of the peoples' power.That's all it is a figleaf.Just as Zionism hides behind Judaism,the the thieves of the world hide behind democracy,representation,communism any -ism as long as they get your money.Enough,use your brain for once and don't let this happen-if only to yourself.
It's the old "I Got Mine" tune or as my dad liked to say "Hurray for me and to hell with you". I don't see any innocent parties. The current administration got left holding the bag full of pie in the sky promises made by past regimes. And what about the union leaders who asked for the pie in the sky because they're "special" unlike you and me.
I'll take the side of the union but at this point I don't think that it matters much. Want to push back, grab your bats and head for Wall St.
Welcome aboard the "WE HAVE GIVEN ENOUGH" train. The banksters and Wall St have asked us to give up our homes, our jobs and our children to war. Now they want us to give up our voice in shaping our own futures by shutting down the rights to organize in the work place. Enough is Enough! Not one more dime, until the corporations start paying taxes, stop hiding profits, and fleecing the rest of us. No ! We're done. We Stand United !!
@Boomer1949 you are absolutely right. The government & big bankers have taken enough from the normal American tax paper. 2 incomes and we can't make ends meet. Our children are being raised by strangers in daycare centers,we struggle to pay higher and higher taxes in fear that the IRS will come after us ,we are losing our homes and jobs and even unemployment is taxed!. We live in tyranny. I say we need a tax revolt in this country for sure.They are killing the middle class with these high taxes.
Besides protesting everyone could watch INSIDE JOB, winner of best documentary at Oscar awards a couple of days ago. There is the explanation and the culprits of the decline of the US
ALL of it is a set-up, and the gooberment workers are only "protesting" because it affects them personally. B.S.
YOUR A SUCKER who thinks the gooberment "union" is the private sector Unions? They are no "Steal workers union". They are a labor monopoly for benefits, not for contracts for safety and profit sharing, with a FOR profit corp.
THE UNITED STATES CORP is the "controlling share holder" of the "FORTUNE 500". They have plenty of money.
@IronRangeSurvival , you missed the point. They are free to gather and you are free to find a better job or get a better education. We are at the place we are, Divided and conquered and imploding on one another, while the Left and Right in high places are pulling their puppet strings to keep us dancing. We need to stop imploding and turn it back around to the corporate whores and war mongers whose money controls the corporation called Amerika with bail outs, kick backs bribes war and deception.
Thank YOU CHARLIE, finally the voice of reason, ppl are being pitted against each other. They can't see it because "unions are bad". They don't care about the facts...the corporations pay 8% in taxes where you and I pay 34%... Reagan's trickle down theory in action. They destroyed our economy & took all the tax breaks & put them into off shore banks....They've depressed wages here for so long, ppl now believe what union members get is wrong...UGH!!!!!! Public workers were on the bottom before.
AMEN! american axle workers in three rivers, mi. took a 51% paycut to try and keep jobs here, while the owner settled for a big fat 8 million dollar bonus when strike was over. wtf!?
Well said, im glad you and Chris Greene are teamed up, this story needs to be spread, even though most people react like you're crazy, they'll see soon enough.
The Cold Steel Gurkha Kukri Kraton Handle with kydex sheath is the best knife on the planet currently on sale for $179 on amazon. Please get one. you will very happy you did. Just felt like saying that. Because it's on sale.
I have a hard time backing Public unions nor there masters, over half of the First stimulus to the Unions, Second stimulus 26 Billions all to the public unions. There a lot of videos of the protester that are communists and out right Marxist in the unions after seeing the videos I will never back public unions again
What product are the teachers turning out? The abuse in education rivals that of the mainstream media. In fact, they are pretty much the same. Charlie is taking the high road here, but I've witnessed political discrimination first hand in public schools. The teachers really brought it upon themselves and their union leaders will sell them out. The AFL-CIO head was on the Trilateral commission. They alienated the public by indoctrinating (sacrificing) kids for their careers.
Their political indoctrination of kids alienated them from the public. Home schooling is growing faster than all the religions of the world combined. The Rate, that is. They had their chance to side with working Americans and taxpayers exponential times over and instead, decided to stick it to 'em, never making a compromise nor a concession. I'm afraid they already chose their fates, no matter what us non unions members may think.

The sad truth is that no one wants to be equal; they want an edge. The unions in Wisconsin are no different. I have little pity for them when federal law enforcement agencies are not even allowed to have a union.

over $632 million in taxpayer money went to support this pension fund system in the form of government employer contributions, which could have gone to support government activities that would support the taxpayers themselves or to pay off debt.

The WI Teachers Union has each member fund their Own Retirement, you Moron.
Each Pension is 100% FUNDED, one cannot fund more than 100%.
Its only if the teacher outlives the actuary table, defined by the state, and outlives it a few years that the public has to kick in.
Keep in Mind, these teachers paid taxes over decades and some die before the pensions funds also.
Blind, ignorant and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

The replies you get are funny to me. “You don’t understand economics.” “You don’t understand how the market works.” Your most upvoted reply is an argument in favor of shipping jobs offshore. Here’s the truth: if there were labor laws which consistently and fundamentally prevented worker exploitation there would be no unions, yet in a “lottery culture” which prioritizes wealth over community you will never have such laws. That’s why we’re moving towards anarchy.

There is no more money to pay their oversized pensions and cadilac health care plans. The state is broke. Everyone is broke. The union membership can cry till the cows come home. at the end of the day, the state is still broke.

@wthf5 You are so right. it's all a distraction. The very fact of many, many states like Wisconnsin being totally broke IS the key issue. not whether you're union or not.

Someone has to pay for those great benefit packages, and it's their turn to pony up, or be without a job. It's that simple.

Notice that he exempted the police and figherfighters unions from this - the two unions that supported his election campaign.

There's public unions and private unions.
Public unions have no place in a democracy because they're paid with taxes; we elect people to tell them what to do. . If teachers don't like the situation, they can always go to work for a charter or private school.
On the other hand, corporations hate public unions. Anything corporations hate must be good. In theory anyway.

Excuse me but your first statement is not correct. Try not paying your property taxes for one year and see what happens. Around here (upstate NY - where we have some of the highest taxes in the nation), the tax bill is sent to the county commissioner of finance after 3 months. You have one year to pay in full (plus interest, plus fees), or else the town puts a lien on your home. They then begin the foreclosure process.
That's losing your home.
I agree with you on what to do with bankers.

I get what you're saying but the property tax system is unjust and needs to go. More than 40% and in some cases 50% of a school's budget is tied to teacher salaries and more importantly benefits. We CANNOT continue to pay for these increases mandated through the unions. Think what you will, but this is an enormous problem. Many folks I know are losing their homes because they can no longer afford their taxes.
So from that perspective, how is this much different than the sub-crime crisis?

Their school in Michigan doesn't even have bus service! And we pay out our rear end for prop taxes. That is messed up. My kids have to cross a 5-lane highway to get home after school. Our city creates reasons to employ workers. They sweep our streets when there's nothing on them to be swept. A complete waste of money!

I moved to Michigan nearly three years ago & discovered that teachers (they're all union here) make nearly three times as much as the ones in the state I moved from (NC). Why do union teachers get to make 3 times as much AND it is nearly impossible to fire them no matter how awful they are at teaching. People become teachers here for the money, not for the kids. In plants, union people aren't even allowed to help someone if they want to. They're only allowed to do "their job". Nuts!

@missjen516 "In plants, union people aren't even allowed to help someone if they want to. They're only allowed to do "their job". Nuts! " In other words, you are not a union worker and are making crap up. When I go to a hospital, I don't expect the janitor to remove a gallstone or lasik my eye.....and they aren't union: it's called doing YOUR job, try it instead of sucking Koch.

@missjen516 -- Yup. There's a lot of homeschoolers in Michigan for good reason. We are likely headed that way eventually.

Just kidding. I’ve been a Christian Socialist for the past 5 years—even before the bailout. I just saw the WTO, IMF, American Enterprise Institute and Club For Growth for what they were. Bunch of shits making you hang on the cross for Ludwig Von Mises’ sins. Whatever. I got better things to die for.

Yep. Tell it to the union mechanic servicing the jet you fly on, or the cop you call when someone scares you "patriot" nitwit.
Or, try telling an Iron Worker or Boilermaker they don't "produce quality anymore" and see if you can pick your worthless, Neocon, Fox IQ-level self off the ground.

Charlie,
What your saying is correct but it not relevent to Wisconsin... Wisconsin did not bail out AIG or any other corporation. The "Fed" is responsible on the national level... controlling both Dems and Reps. Wis is broke... must cut, no choice.

It's the old "I Got Mine" tune or as my dad liked to say "Hurray for me and to hell with you". I don't see any innocent parties. The current administration got left holding the bag full of pie in the sky promises made by past regimes. And what about the union leaders who asked for the pie in the sky because they're "special" unlike you and me.
I'll take the side of the union but at this point I don't think that it matters much. Want to push back, grab your bats and head for Wall St.

Welcome aboard the "WE HAVE GIVEN ENOUGH" train. The banksters and Wall St have asked us to give up our homes, our jobs and our children to war. Now they want us to give up our voice in shaping our own futures by shutting down the rights to organize in the work place. Enough is Enough! Not one more dime, until the corporations start paying taxes, stop hiding profits, and fleecing the rest of us. No ! We're done. We Stand United !!

@Boomer1949 you are absolutely right. The government & big bankers have taken enough from the normal American tax paper. 2 incomes and we can't make ends meet. Our children are being raised by strangers in daycare centers,we struggle to pay higher and higher taxes in fear that the IRS will come after us ,we are losing our homes and jobs and even unemployment is taxed!. We live in tyranny. I say we need a tax revolt in this country for sure.They are killing the middle class with these high taxes.

ALL of it is a set-up, and the gooberment workers are only "protesting" because it affects them personally. B.S.
YOUR A SUCKER who thinks the gooberment "union" is the private sector Unions? They are no "Steal workers union". They are a labor monopoly for benefits, not for contracts for safety and profit sharing, with a FOR profit corp.
THE UNITED STATES CORP is the "controlling share holder" of the "FORTUNE 500". They have plenty of money.

@IronRangeSurvival , you missed the point. They are free to gather and you are free to find a better job or get a better education. We are at the place we are, Divided and conquered and imploding on one another, while the Left and Right in high places are pulling their puppet strings to keep us dancing. We need to stop imploding and turn it back around to the corporate whores and war mongers whose money controls the corporation called Amerika with bail outs, kick backs bribes war and deception.

Thank YOU CHARLIE, finally the voice of reason, ppl are being pitted against each other. They can't see it because "unions are bad". They don't care about the facts...the corporations pay 8% in taxes where you and I pay 34%... Reagan's trickle down theory in action. They destroyed our economy & took all the tax breaks & put them into off shore banks....They've depressed wages here for so long, ppl now believe what union members get is wrong...UGH!!!!!! Public workers were on the bottom before.

What product are the teachers turning out? The abuse in education rivals that of the mainstream media. In fact, they are pretty much the same. Charlie is taking the high road here, but I've witnessed political discrimination first hand in public schools. The teachers really brought it upon themselves and their union leaders will sell them out. The AFL-CIO head was on the Trilateral commission. They alienated the public by indoctrinating (sacrificing) kids for their careers.
biozamadotcom 1 year ago
Their political indoctrination of kids alienated them from the public. Home schooling is growing faster than all the religions of the world combined. The Rate, that is. They had their chance to side with working Americans and taxpayers exponential times over and instead, decided to stick it to 'em, never making a compromise nor a concession. I'm afraid they already chose their fates, no matter what us non unions members may think.

Crappydog your too young to know better regarding corrupt unions.
But it's time you learned. And that's the reality of it.
You can't rant against corrupt wallstreet bankers and leave out the corrupt unions.
Corruptions cancer and they both spread if not cut completely out.
