Greece arrived in America allot sooner than many expected.
This War is all about the special interests of society going to the streets to claim their piece of the pie and they don’t care one bit if theres any left for the other things the country needs.
The Unions would ruin this country if they had the chance.
The unions have already ruined this country.
Bingo!
At one point in time, roughly 100 years ago, unions were thoroughly necessary to protect workers who lacked bargaining power against companies, where there was child labor and there were horrid working conditions. However, now we have labor laws guaranteeing minimum wages, maximum hours before overtime must be paid, no child labor like we had and lots of safety measures. At this point, unions are a leech on society and, more than any part of society, on the very workers that they claim to represent.
Here we're talking about a public employee union. "Public employee" is another phrase for "civil servant." Where is their desire and willingness to serve? Why, if the military doesn't have them and its members endure far more hardship and danger on the job, are there even allowed to be public employee unions? I think that this question will begin to be asked, now that the WI teachers have begun to act like a bunch of 2-year-olds that just had their lollipop taken away.
But let's get back to that "leech" thing - what is a leech? It is a parasite, it is something that lives off of its host, it produces or contributes nothing to the host (like a sybiote does). You know, the Mafia is also a parasite - it produces nothing, it lives off of the labor of others, and it clearly harms its host, which is us, all of society. But at least the Mafia KNOWS that it is a parasite, and it KNOWS that if it kills the host then it, too, will die. So the older criminal organizations, looking long-term, limit their effect on society to a certain extent. Also, the Mafia knows that if it harms the host too much, the host will fight back, and it will be hurt a lot. The public employee unions haven't yet figured out that they are parasites. No, not the individual members, but the union itself. Hopefully, WI's governor will communicate this idea to the public (and, frankly, to the teachers themselves, who will end up worse off than if they had simply accepted the Gov.'s proposal), and also stand strong like Reagan did against the air traffic controllers and Chris Christie has against the NJ Mafia, errrr, teachers union.
Time for the host to kill the parasite!
