...so what exactly have these clowns ‘lost’? The ‘right’ to fleece the taxpayers?
The protesters are not even teachers. Just a bunch of Obama Trash.
Nope. Any time these union aholes are on strike, they’re allowed to ‘fleece the taxpayers’. They’ll get to claim the EITC. Free money in the form of tax credits paid for by us.
Note the forms of income that qualify.
