Saw your post above on another thread as well. Great! Can’t see it too many times. Most people know that unions are supposed to protect workers from ‘greedy’ corporate employers who hold ‘unfair’ bargaining positions. Almost no one extrapolates from that the purpose of public sector unions must be to protect their membership from the beneficial owners of their employers: us. The absurdity of it strains imagination. Like so much of the insanity the Left foists on the nation to advance their mercenary or bizarre agendas.

They have gotten away with this for decades! Perhaps, with Wisconsin, we’re seeing the whole thing come apart before it completely and irrevocably bankrupts the whole of society.

Years ago President Franklin Roosevelt called the idea of public sector unions "unthinkable and intolerable." Not long after, AFL-CIO President George Meany declared that it was "impossible to bargain collectively with the government." They were both speaking to the morality of public servants making demands on taxpayers' earnings under the threat of withholding public services -- or as FDR put it, "looking toward the paralysis of government by those who have sworn to support it."
