My sister is an AFSCME member working for Wisconsin DOT. The unions, especially the various "education" unions are hanging her out to dry.
The bloody teachers are paid 50% more than she will ever earn and none of 'em work fifty weeks each year, while two of five students never graduate high school.
She has no option regarding union dues, so a portion of her taxpayer-funded paycheck goes directly to the AFSCME general fund, hence to the Democrat-oriented PAC. She's not any sort of radical, but the red shirt wearing Mob at the capitol building thieves part of her paycheck and the common taxpayers' money.
My son is an ALPA member. If he did what the Mob at Madison is doing, he'd be out of a job at day #3.
Disrupting the business of the Assembly is subversive at best and likely seditious. The Mob at Madison deserves nothing but CS gas, bayonets and -- if they're truly, stupidly, stubborn -- ball projectiles. George Washington didn't put up with this crap. Why should we?
Regarding the supposed "legislators" who have abandoned their positions and failed to fulfill their oaths to serve their constituents, they are not any sort of "bulls". They are very much the typical sort of ungulate prey species whose female examples naturally flee at the first hint of danger, never fighting an adversary.
We are living a reality frighteningly similar to events described by Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged more than fifty years ago.
I am John Gault. Semper Fi!
