The money belongs to the citizens of WI...not the goddamned govt.

That type of thinking is why we (collectively, as a country) are in this mess.

Reagan: "You PATCO air traffic controllers better go back to work or I'll fire all of you."
PATCO: "WTFE, dude. We're going on strike. You can't fire us. We belong to a UNION!"
Reagan: "You're all fired."
PATCO: "Holy shit! He fired us."
Reagan: "That's right, bitches."

You pro-union types can get your panties all wadded up if you want. Unions are part of the problem...not part of the solution. They should all be fired. And the elected representatives of the people in WI should be impeached and removed from office.

Fuckin' unions and democrats. They're perfect for each other.

The unions/union members think that just because they are making "slightly more" than their public counterparts that they are OK. Its the fact that they are getting cadillac benefits/perks and paying for a sliver of the cost is the issue. The people who are paying the taxes that fund the lion share of their cadillac benefits packages don't get these benefits. Then, they fund and support the politicians to get them elected who they will then be negotiating with?

It is corruption and redistribution of wealth in its most basic form.
