How in the world are you a Ron Paul supporter?

s(he)'s not

People who want a voice in democracy are not insane or rabid you fool. Koch Industries and Gov Walker illegally tried to strip union power. He gave away public resources to private, mega rich corporations. People are taking to the streets against this totalitarianism.

Exactly. If Ron Paul were president (governor in this case), and he had his way not only would "public" unions not have collective bargaining rights, but those public jobs wouldn't even exist at all in the first place.

There is no reason why public unions should be able to destroy the state budget.

Irresponsible Spening by EITHER Party is what is able to and has destroyed a lot of States Budgets.

I thought destroying the state budget was the good thing about them?

I'm noticing this graphic going around a lot among the Left, and so I just thought I would give fellow RPers something to combat it with. You'll notice the blue line represents the middle class share of income over the last few decades, which is essentially a measure of the wealth gap. It ignores the rise in real wealth that the middle class has gained during that time though.

Margaret Thatcher already took down this line of logic quite forcefully 20 years ago in this speech:



I hope people on this forum will draw people's attention to this video when the union-freaks start whipping out the ridiculous "union membership decreases, middle class income shrinks" graphic.

Of course INCOME will rise, it's called inflation. Problem is, the cost of living has been going up much faster. Are you trying to argue the middle class is better now than 40 years ago? REALLY? Honestly?

Public union members pay into their pensions much more than other employees. Tax payer money is not a part of it.

As union members decrease so do costs and this graph is based off of a flawed measurement (the dollar). It does not take into account the price of goods and services in said state. Just what the nation considers middle class. This graph is subjective and therefor useless.
