PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS ARE A CANCER KILLING OUR GOVERNMENT...AND US.

Here is the real problem with public sector unions. They get to use taxpayer money to elect their bosses and they get to use taxpayer money to convince their bosses to give them more taxpayer money.

 Here's a summary of where we are with these freakin unions:

• We’ve allowed them to become monopoly personnel providers for many state and local governments
• We force employees to make weekly payments to union leaders
• The union leaders use these payments to hire lobbyists to agitate for more government spending
• The union leaders use these payments to spend millions on campaigns to elect politicians
• The union leaders then negotiate with these politicians to set pay, benefits and work rules for their members
• The politicians know that if they cross the union leaders, their reelection plans are more complicated
• Taxpayers fund the whole thing

If we can’t break this corrupt cycle, no other policy decisions we make will matter. Yes, it is that important.
