I agree with. The next civil war may very well be between the public unions and the over taxed citizens who are no longer willing to give up everything they earn for the leeches known as”public employee”.
Here in NJ the taxpayers have conceded defeat, and they are fleeing in droves. The companies that employed them in the past are fleeing as well. This angle to the housing glut here in the northeast is never discussed; the fact is that with today’s diminished standard of living, nobody wants to buy homes in very average neighborhoods with property taxes starting at $10K. Those unions have ensured that increasing shares of today’s taxes are to pay union members who retired years ago.
While liberals push the $15/hour wage for unskilled workers, they conveniently omit the fact that this would never allow those workers to purchase homes in the areas where people need them to prepare their meals (due to those high taxes).
