At what point do the american people say enough? We bail out banks, we let CEO's rob thier workers blind, ship jobs out of our nation and tell the workers of our nation to pay for everthing, while everything gets taken away. We've lost our homes, jobs, savings, retirement, good wages, fought wars and sacrificed everything only to be shit on again and again. How can anyone not support these people? If you don't start fighting for it now, they're going to take it later. Taking is all they do.

@BorakOBummer Yeah, screw the unions... what have they ever done? Except for the weekend, the 40-hour work week, child labor laws (oh wait, that was socialists), and a voice at the table with the power elite to represent the little guy. But other than THAT.

How dare tax payers tell us we cant collectively bargain for more of their tax dollars.

@signejorgenson Its that same all over the US. GM and Chrysler would be out of business if the US Gov didn't bail them out with our tax money, why, greedy, lazy, unions. They have a mob entitlement mentality. Now, states are having to make adjustments with local and state Unions r talking about needing a bail out. Now, when the Fed runs into problems with Fed Unions, who will bail them out? How about those big Union bosses give back some of those billions of dollars they collected.

@signejorgenson One out of a million will not excuse them all.

@clay9280 My dad was in a teachers union. He was at school an hour early every day to volunteer for a before-school study hall so that parents could drop their kids off early on their way to work. He stayed after school several nights a week to referee basketball, football, & volleyball games without extra pay. He also advised the science club, which was more unpaid time after school. He served on committees & did a lot of course prep and conferences during the summer. Lazy? Definitely not.

@clay9280 No, but I do think it's wrong to make only one segment of the population responsible for being the financial solution to a budget crisis. It's not fair unless we ALL have to make real sacrifices that impact our lives -- and that' s just not happening. It's not only about teachers and unions -- it's about Badger Care, it's about corruption in government, it's about having a leader who refuses to listen...really, the unions are only one small piece of a hugely distressing puzzle.

@danz177 Venus Project, will do.

[danz177]

@nucsol No my friend a Resource Based Economy is the future of our planet. It uses the very technology you speak of the free humanity. It may not happen tomorrow, but it will happen if we are to survive. Our current system is destroying our planet and our way of life. 95% of all people working today hate their jobs and are unhappy. Google theVenus Project and open your mind a little, you don't have to like it, just learn about it. Information is power.

@danz177 It takes what they did in Egypt, just say fuck it and live in the streets. We're hooked on technology and plastic crap, go back to camping, fishing and living in the woods. Don't buy shit and live as groups, refusing to work like the Indian's did so many years ago. They were killed off for that reason, because they lived off the land and wanted nothing to do with the chains of materialism. So they killed the buffalo, drove them into the cold, hooked them on booze and crushed the way.
