Pretty soon, they’ll have 9 year-olds working in the textile mills for 60 hours a week at 10 cents an hour. It’s coming. #democrat

... it didn't matter if, say, a city hall clerk or a public school teacher wanted to support a union or not. They had to pay if they wanted to keep their jobs. The money was taken directly out of their paychecks just as if it were a tax.

The most unbelievable part of this whole mess is that quote. How in the hell could anyone think that is fair, appropriate, deserved? How did it ever come to that in the first place? I understand full well why the unions wanted to keep the government-enforced extortion racket they had set up, but who in the hell that could call themselves American could ever support such a thing?

Liberals aren’t too bright. I totally expect them to increase the dues to help offset their dwindling numbers. And as a result their numbers will continue to dwindle prompting yet another increase.

And within 5 years the union will be dead.

Lol.

Let’s see how elections change in WI now that the unions have less money to throw at them.
