Why is it the Unions fault? Was it Unions that caused this mess? No I believe it was massive banks and hedge funds that wrapped up shitty mortgages and sold them as triple A. Was it Unions that caused Enron and the rest to cheat their employees? Was it Unions that still made 6 billion after the oil spill? Remember when the Good old days were the 50’s and 60’s. That’s right America was union. When America was Kicking ass it was all done with Union Labor. We do not manufacture stuff here because of Unions you say? Well ask the companies who shipped those jobs to other countries how much their profits expanded? Business is there to make money no matter what product that they make. Unions are there to protect their workers and get as much as you can for them. Eight hour work days, Medical benefits, workers compensation vacation days and holidays all there because of unions. Do not think that business owners would have done any of that unless they had to. Oh wait go to China or Thailand or Mexico or any of the countries that are now manufacturing and see what they make. Remember in America people used to work in factories and be able to but the items they produced, thank you Unions and Henry Ford. Now business would rather build a factory in another country pay their workers a pittance (great word I know) and import it to America to increase their bottom line, Nafta did not raise the wage in Mexico but instead let business go there and increase their profits. We are not broke because of Unions, yeah it’s the Cops Teachers and Firemen, no it is all the MASSIVE lobbyists that manipulate bills and laws for their gain. Are you really against a tax on the top 2 percent of Americans? From 36- 39% REALLY??? We as a people need to wake up and start figuring out that for ourselves.
I know I sound like a liberal and that is bad, but remember, my Republican Friends the President who was labors friend as well as the people was Teddy Roosevelt, big supporter of the people. Author of the Square Deal, you know the idea of fair and square, not equal, but fair.
Is it unions, the people, or other interests? By the way did you know that in the governor’s bill there is a proposal for a no bid contract?
16.896 Sale or contractual operation of state−owned heating, cooling, and power plants. (1) Notwithstanding ss. 13.48 (14) (am) and 16.705 (1), the department may sell any state−owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids, for any amount that the department determines to be in the best interest of the state. Notwithstanding ss. 196.49 and 196.80, no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project under s. 196.49 (3) (b).
Just so you know that Koch Industries is the Governors biggest donators with over 43,000 donated from their PAC. OH YEAH ONE MORE THING
The Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity has also been standing with Walker throughout his budget battles, busing in Tea Party activists and launching the site, Stand With Walker. After the election, Walker and other Republican governors received guidance from the American Legislative Exchange Council, a group that is also funded by Koch dollars and has pushed anti-union measures
