Labor Unions are not dead. They are reloading.

Labor unions suffered a setback in Wisconsin last week, but anyone who thinks they've been knocked dead is living in a dream world. There are laws on the books which ensure that the unions will always bounce back. Scott Walker knocked them down, but they will come back up like a bobo doll, and long after he is out of office, they will continue clutching for more power. All the laws are on their side.

The only certainties are death and tax [exemption]

Labor unions are categorized as tax-exempt 501(c)5 organizations. In 2010, these organizations collectively held $32,498,906,714 in assets. This number comes from the combined assets of all labor unions and farm bureaus. After all their expenses, lobbying efforts, and voter intimidation efforts, these organized labor gangsters still have more money than the entire GDP of many countries. None of it is taxed, and 92% of them are in violation of Dept. of Labor audits.

I couldn’t agree more. Here in my hometown their is a group of homeschoolers that number over a thousand. They go on fieldtrips together, play sports and do all the things that the government schools have to offer. Head of our 912 group has children that are homeschooled and these children are a joy! It is truly the parents responsibility and if those families that take this seriously will teach their kids we will have hope that there will be future leaders.
My children went to Catholic school which was wonderful for us. I gave up vacations, eating out and other things to give them a good foundation. They all turned out well.
God help those that leave it to the public schools to teach their kids. God help us if this is the best we can give our kids.

Suggest all Feepers read the entire article. There are many details about unions that I was not aware of. Here's one:

What exactly is a militancy fund for? All sorts of things. In 1973, in United States v. Enmons, the Supreme Court ruled that labor unions are exempt from prosecution for violence related to collective bargaining goals. If you are upset that none of the threats against Governor Walker's life were prosecuted, it is because they were legal. They have $20 million in their militancy fund, and permission from the Supreme Court to commit violence without prosecution. Do you think they are afraid of a new rule in Wisconsin?
