THE ATTITUDE OF GOV'T EMPLOYEE UNIONS IS TO SCREW TAXPAYERS

 Neal Boortz hits the nail on the head again. Here is one of his recent gems.  You don't want to miss reading this!

Have you been keeping an eye on the government employee unions lately? You better wake up folks. A war is brewing. It's a war between government employee unions in this country and the taxpayers who fund the government and pay the union member's salaries. These unions, like the Service Employees International Union and the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (SIEU and AFSME) together with the most powerful unions of all - the teacher's unions -- are so absolutely drop-dead used to getting their way that they can scarcely believe what has happened to them in the last few weeks. The very idea that Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin would take away their collective bargaining rights sends them into complete and absolute outrage. These government worker unions literally have the attitude of screw the taxpayers -- we have what is ours and were gonna keep it no matter what it does to the state.

A little bit later in NealzNuze you're going to read about how government employee unions in Wisconsin are running from business-to-business in Madison's commercial districts with a modern-era protection racket. They're demanding that business owners put signs up in their Windows saying that that they "support workers rights ".

Workers rights?

Let me tell you what workers rights are. You have a right to be paid for the work you do at a mutually agreed upon wage. You have a right to work in an environment that is, in so far as is possible, free from hazards which could affect your safety and your health. The right that you do not have is the right to leave the taxpayers out of the process when you negotiate for these wages, when you negotiate for your benefits, and when you negotiate for your working conditions. Right now in this country the government employee unions literally hire the people that they negotiate with. This they do with massive union contributions and get out the vote support for the candidates they favor. When it comes time to negotiate for wages or benefits the union leaders know that the very people that they're negotiating with our people that they put in office. The unwritten language of these negotiation sessions is:

    "Look, give us what we want and then go to the taxpayers to get the money that you need to pay for it. The taxpayers really aren't going to recognize the fact that our wages and benefits are far better than theirs, but our union members will damn sure recognize that fact if we fail at these negotiations. So if you want the votes; if you want to campaign contributions; then you better keep our union members happy and you better keep them well paid so that we can collect those fumes union dues from them and pass off your share to you when campaign time rolls around."

In Florida the government union leaders and members are so completely outraged that there is now a businessman in the governor's office. They know that this is a businessman they cannot shove around, and they're scared to death. As I understand it, sometime in the next few weeks these government worker unions in Florida are going to start up a campaign which they will call "Reclaim the State."

Reclaim the state from who?

Reclaim the state for who?

I'll tell you from who and for who. The Florida government employee unions plan to reclaim the state from the voters and the taxpayers FOR the government union members. You need to understand just what type of a fight you are in here. These government worker unions believe that they are entitled to their jobs, they are entitled to the benefits, they are entitled to pensions, they are entitled to the free health insurance, and that they are entitled to have their political allies rape the taxpayers and ordinary citizens by levying whatever confiscatory tax structure they need to enact in order to afford to give the union members what they believe is rightfully theirs.

The government employee unions across the country have some pretty strong allies in their battle against the taxpayers. One very strong ally in particular, the Democrat Party. You cannot forget the massive amounts of money that these government employee unions donate to political campaigns; and you must remember that 95% of these donations are made to Democrats candidates. Government employee unions, and especially the insipid and dangerous teachers unions, are the number one financial supporters of the big government high tax Democrat party in this country. So when it comes to these moronic union members marching around with their "Support Workers Rights" signs in Madison, Tallahassee, Columbus, and other state capitals around the country, the ordinary put-upon taxpayers have to remember that the right these union members are trying to protect is their right to stick their hands in your pockets.
