I guess this helps explain where a lot of union dues are going these days.
This underlines the importance of de-funding the Left. Public employee union dues, "research" grants to Left professors, NEA grants to Lefty "artists" -- the list goes on.
“I guess this helps explain where a lot of union dues are going these days.”
EXACTLY. This is why I want to see unions BANNED, and I’m hoping President Cain does just that.
Once they entered politics, they put their legitimacy on the table...and once the stars line up, we’ll be through with that UGLY CHAPTER of American history.
Not only union dues but our tax dollars. For more than fourty years our money has been doled out to every king of “social justice” group out there. There must be hundreds if not thousands. The tax payers pay for the grants that these commie groups receive and then they in turn send some of our tax money back to the democrats in the form of political contributions. This is what they have done with Planned Parenthood for many years. The dems give money to the Planned Parenthood and then they give some of it back in donations to the democrat party. I realized that this must be what they do with all of the leftist groups. They are funneling our money back into the dems pockets. Don’t forget that politicians get to keep any unused campaign funds when they retire, so we are funding their retirement pensions.
More likely foundation money --- Ford, Carnegie, Heinz, Annenberg --- name them, and the slimy 60s Hippies have taken them over and are using the old money meant for good works, for their own evil intent.
You beat me to it. Union dues go to two thing these days, Union officials salaries and the Democrat Party.
