A sneak attack by militant labor

Even the traditionally liberal Washington Post has figured it out. Yesterday’s headline read: “Ohio, Wisconsin shine spotlight on new union battle: Government workers vs. taxpayers.”

Not “middle-class vs. wealthy” or “struggling school teachers vs. billionaire Koch brothers.” No, the real fight is between public servants and the public they allegedly serve. The sentimental story line that unions are “friends of the workin’ man” is unraveling.

Six-figure salaries and benefits  .  .  .  and these government union workers are declaring war on us? They should be buying us drinks and offering back rubs.

I believe it’s because they just don’t get it. Protected, unionized government workers still don’t grasp how tough the economy is for the 85 percent of Massachusetts workers who aren’t union.

“Government workers vs. taxpayers”

It is also the government vs. taxpayers

Dems are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.

  To this feral Rat administration of losers I say -- 'Time to put the federal beast back into its cage.'

The government workers have no choice (not to exonerate them). They now work for the union and take orders under duress from the same thugs that we see on TV pushing, shoving, and screaming at the rallies.

This thing is going to get really bloody because the unions are fighting for their lives and union leaders will give orders--indirectly and subtly, but still effectively--to cower the taxpayers into submission by whatever means necessary.

In the corporate world, an executive is responsible for his employees actions on behalf of the company. Not so with unions. Union leaders can agitate until what needs to be done is simply done. No accountability, no responsibility!

, “Trumka didn’t say specifically how much he would raise the gas tax, but mentioned he’s shown the president a $256 billion plan to improve infrastructure.”

Now we have a union thug presenting plans to thug Obama on how to spend more of our money. This assclown has to be removed from office one way or another.
