From the WSJ today in "Athens in Mad Town":

The larger reality is that collective bargaining for government workers is not a God-given or constitutional right. It is the result of the growing union dominance inside the Democratic Party during the middle of the last century. John Kennedy only granted it to federal workers in 1962 and Jerry Brown to California workers in 1978. Other states, including Indiana and Missouri, have taken away collective bargaining rights for public employees in recent years, and some 24 states have either limited it or banned it outright.

It CAN be done!

They didn’t have an interloper like obama. Someone who actually wants the protest - someone who wants a riot. He truly makes me nervous - all the makings of a dictator.
