AD: "Sacrifice" - Vote NO on Issue 2

Firefighters, police, nurses, teachers and other public servants have taken pay freezes and furlough days without pay, saving taxpayers $350 million. But the Columbus politicians are pushing Issue 2 -- blaming public employees for Ohio's budget woes -- all while funneling over a hundred million dollars in tax breaks to their corporate campaign contributors. The politicians have turned their backs on the middle class. But in Ohio, we don't turn our backs on those who watch ours. Vote NO on Issue 2.

Any one who votes "Yes" on Issue 2 must want to live w/ lower wages, less medical benefits at a higher cost, increased lay-offs, ETC. By what means would you have to plead your case against your independent, out-sourcing, profligate employer?! Yourself? Goodfuckingluck, repub brainwashed dicks!

Hey, guess what, you, "Yes" duckweed neo-fascist fucks? You're currently being trounced, 65% - NOOO 35% -yes. Too bad, so sad. Unions alive and well against profligate corporations.

Read your history of the struggles of American labor, which got their standards of living uplifted by the development of unions in the late 20's.

I'm voting YES! I know of teachers that should NOT be teaching, but they are, because they can, and there's nothing we (the parents) can do about it. What a shame!!! Unions was worthless and promote JACK SQUAT in the workforce! And sadly, our children suffer the most!

Behold! Your Public Sector Unions at Work

@stevee66oh I am also a tax payer. Fire fighters, police officers all pay taxes too, so don't feel you have a monopoly on paying taxes. I pay 10% of my retirement and 25% of my health care. And we are actually paid less than the private sector people with comprable education and experience. (That includes my benefits.) You can't copmare my salary (I have a Master's) to the salary of a high school graduate.

For those of you that feel that you are under a "monopoly" by your local fire department, remember that they will always be there when you need them. Without questions asked, they will still come to save your life and property, all while putting their lives at risk. Every day that my husband goes to work, I know that he may not return. But yet, no one cares about firefighters until they need them. For the safety of our firefighters, Vote No on Issue 2.

@baritonebynight - And you have the right to feel that way, and to vote your personal best interest.

So do I... along with everyone who is not a recipient but a payer (through their taxes) of govt workers' paychecks... who simply can't afford for our representatives to be forced to "negotiate" with (i.e., beg for "concessions" from..) a labor monopoly. I'm betting there are more of us - your employers, the taxpayers - than there are of you.

Yes on Issue 2

@steve66oh Do you realized that we are already paying 10% into retirement and I'm paying 16% of my health care.That was done through collective bargaining. We have made concessions but we REFUSE to give up our voice in the work place. I refuse to work in a place where I have no voice in what I was professionally trained to do by thoes who were not trained. No to issue 2.
