You don’t want to talk about forcibly taking their money.

Because Walker, and you, could not care less that union members have their dues withheld from their paychecks. You, and Walker, care when the unions support Democrats. When they support Republicans then Walker, and you, are just fine with dues being withheld.

“You don’t want to talk about forcibly taking their money.

Why?”


I didn’t read your full comment.

In response..

Do you think firemen and policemen get fair and equal treatment from elected Democratic Party officials?

Like most Walker supporters, ignorance is bliss. You put on blinders to the fact that your candidate is imploding and that he's in danger of winding up at the kid's table for a future debate. And his fixation on unions, something the overwhelming majority of people could not care less about, is indicative of how clueless he is.

-—“We know one of Sheldon Adelson’s top priorities is lower wages for workers and fewer rights in the workplace.-—

Unless something’s changed recently, another high priority issue with Mr. Adelson is the elimination of online gambling which, of course, will force people back into the brick and mortar casino buildings.

I am 100% with Adelson on that one. And I don’t see why Scott Walker would object.

It’s true where I work. I’m the IBEW unit president at a company in a right to work red state.

Washed out loser. And I doubt Adelson will offer him a job after he's out of office. Ex-governor, embarrassed nationally, hated locally, no college degree, no job skills, what's he to do?

He'll be hunting for a union job that pays enough to support him and his family...

Your “probing” questions is meant as nothing more than a dispersion to put me on the defensive in addition to you trying to change the argument. Just like unions, it does not work on me because no matter how many times you try;

Your 2012 Perry is still showing.

“Maybe it’s time for people to look honestly at the candidates - evaluate what they have done vs bluster about what they can only say they will do.”

I’d say it’s high time.

In order to be a major business player in New York City you have to play ball with the politicians or you will never make it. That’s the way it works New York. Certainly in the Real Estate business.

Lol...the notion that Trump had to donate to Nancy Pelosi or the Clinton Foundation in order to build a high rise in NYC is an absurdity.

However if were true that Trump engaged in this type of political bribery and quid pro quo favoritism to make money, it would simply demonstrate how corrupt and amoral he really is.

I try to be polite to you but you don’t want to have a conversation with me, and it’s becoming clear why.

You don't want to have a discussion, you just want to lecture on your favorite subject.

Like a petulant adolescent, you don’t want to be corrected or questioned.

See, you’re teaching me how to push back.

Trump wants to raise taxes.

From the link you provided:

A spokeswoman for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Hope Hicks, wouldn’t tell us if Trump still supports that plan and said that he will release his current tax plan later in September.

But in 2011, talk show host George Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he still supported that tax, and Trump said it was no longer viable.

"Well, at a time, it would have paid off the deficit. I mean, you wouldn't have a deficit, at that time," Trump said (though he confused debt and deficit). "Unfortunately, the world has changed, today you can't do it. Today, and I'm very strongly against tax increases. And the reason I'm-"

"So, you're no longer for that tax?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"No, no. I'm no longer for that tax, no," Trump said.

This is not DU...Dishonesty is not appreciated here...Your headline says just the opposite of what the article states...Apparently you are hoping people won't check out your links that you use to attack Trump to see if you are telling the truth...

No doubt in my mind that when Walker leaves you'll be supporting Bush...

Winconsin as a heavy leftist state makes Walker’s victories there that much more impressive.

Doesn't add up...Either Wisconsin is a Red State or Walker is a Blue Governor...

It’s not the private sector unions, it’s the government unions. They are bleeding this country dry while they fail at their putative jobs, day after day after day.

If you get rid of the unions you are left with the incompetent management that was there with the unions but without the organization prowess the unions provide...

Scott Walker is a Red Governor bringing a Blue state to its senses.

You want “more rights in your job”???

Cough up the $$$$$$ yourself & start your own business.

Those on the outside looking in & screaming about how much money a business owner is making need to have the experience for themselves. IMO.

As a life-long bookkeeper—mostly for small business, I can tell you the unions are NOT the path to go down.

The stranglehold that Unions have on some areas of American commerce are not helpful.
