I was reading an article about the NEA the other day and its former leader bragging about their power. They have 3.2 million members, who pay somewhere around $1000 per year in dues. This is over $3 billion a year. Wow. You can buy a lot of Democrats with that kind of loot.

And it is all non taxable since unions are “non profits”. It is past time to end the non profit status of every group with assets of half a million or more.

They have. The NEA also takes some pretty insane stands, a lot of posts on FR about that
