Q: Are taxpayers getting a 5% increase in their incomes.. ?
Twice a day, I drive by the NH Public Employee Union building.
They have one of those signs out front where the number changes every day, you know, “240 Days Without A Contract”, the next day, “241 days...”, etc, etc.
The thing is, lots of guys drive by that sign thinking, “31 YEARS without a contract”
What makes them so special that an average working guy is going to care whether or not the public employees have a contract, reasoning (correctly) that if and when they get a contract, it will simply be screwing the rest of us over.
