Yup. I enjoy paying a 400% increase in property taxes over three years so our public employee retirees can collect 95% of their pay and have COLA and medical too.

You are one of the few people on FR that get it. Unions only make up about 10% of manufacturing in the U.S. It's the govt. unions that are destroying the U.S. They are about 50% of all govt. workers.

Don’t forget State employees and Teacher’s unions - money they lost in the recent “downturn” of the market will be made up on the backs of taxpayers. We went through this before in Texas when the market crashed (1989?) - watch for higher property and school taxes coming soon to a location near you!
