In the private sector of our economy, nearly everything union has been, or is being destroyed. A large part of our auto industry and its suppliers has collapsed, with the help of the UAW, in the face of foreign imports, leaving that industry near rock-bottom. Today, Boeing and the state of South Carolina are threatened by Boeing's machinists union and the National Labor Relations Board.
Nearly everything union is destroying all of us who are non-union....that means the greatest majority of us. In the name of taking all that they can for themselves, at the expense of mostly non-union citizens, jobs have left many of our states, excessive pensions are under-funded, legislators remain addicted to spending money they don't have and public employee unions continue to demand more of it.
Unions have become nothing less than just another big business. Worse yet, unions produce nothing! Unions are consumers who exist today for the primary purpose of demanding more money and benefits from all of us. Their achievements are paid not by the companies who are extorted, but by the end-users of the products manufactured by those companies. Considering present circumstances, is it really in our individual best interests to buy union-made goods? I suspect it may be….if you're a union member.
Remember, every time unions have achieved major increases in pay and benefits, non-union citizens found themselves with less purchasing power. By the time the rest of us caught up with prices, the unions were demanding more pay and better benefits, starting the cycle all over again. A perfect excuse for the rest of us to join unions, right? We could have thereby expedited the exodus of jobs from our states and bankrupted our economy twenty years earlier.
It most certainly is not in our best interests to allow public sector employee unions to dictate to the citizens who must pay for the excesses allowed to them by our pandering and weak-willed politicians. Is YOUR PENSION, guaranteed by a state constitution....by the citizens of your state? Unless you’re a teacher or public employee, I don't think so. It's way past time to amend our state constitutions to eliminate this ridiculous burden on taxpayers who will be stuck with the bill for the under-funded pensions of teachers and other public employees.
It's time teachers and public employees were using 401k and similar programs, like the rest of us who pay the freight....paying all the while our kids receive VERRRRY low quality educations in our public schools. There is no valid excuse for constitutionally guaranteed pensions for teachers, or anyone else for that matter. Just shows us all how corrupt our governments have become....suckling at the breast of the NEA.
It should be noted that a large percentage of school teachers retire when they are 52 or so because they can buy years of service. Many are retired longer than they actually worked. Many teachers 'got drunk' on the good times of the last 50 years and it’s time for them to 'sober up'. The effects of their overindulgence have devastated our once-great public education systems....K-12 and universities, alike.
Further, it's about time that we give all of the other unions a reason to sober up. There are way too many options available to us to have to settle for high prices resulting from continuing union demands for more and more at the expense of anyone on the other end of the transaction.

IS THAT ALL THEY'VE GOT?
It seems today that ignorance abounds. The sad thing is that most of the folks in this video probably couldn't find the state of Texas on a map of the United States.
They likely know little, if anything, about the Declaration or the Constitution. I would bet that many of them would tell you that they really don't give a damn about those documents. If they truly believe the lines they're singing, they're socialists and don't know it...or don't want to admit it.
Note their lines as....
They claim the world belongs to them and that others with differing views should "go away".
The Koch Brothers are bad. Apparently Soros is good?
True democracy? They don't have a clue! Nor do they understand the meaning of the term "constitutionally limited republic". Or, perhaps they like the idea of a true democracy that they might eventually control by numbers?
"Working class kicks corporate ass from sea to shining sea"? They are like children who choose to break their toys and then will cry and scream for someone to fix or replace them. It's about time corporations, small and large, go on strike to show these dolts what the world will look like once they do manage to "kick corporate ass from sea to shining sea".
Koch Brothers' culture war? These people must live under the rock they speak of, or perhaps another planet....or maybe just smoke too much dope? Seems to me that the democrat party has gone to great lengths to create class warfare and to escalate it at every opportunity. I would say that this video itself is a class warfare instrument, wouldn't you?
F*&$ing tea? Seems to me that word works itself into just about everything they want to say. Like i said...."Is that all they've got?" Unfortunately, there are so many of them that their ignorance and increasingly socialist views are destroying all that their ancestors, and ours, sacrificed for future generations. Folks like these spit on the graves of those pioneers and warriors who died and suffered to bring us the prosperity that these dolts seem to credit to themselves and our out-of-control government.
We are at war within our country....at war with ignorance and the entitlement mentality of so many parasites. People like these who, intentionally or out of ignorance, promote the power of the state to run our lives and to redistribute our property and to take away our liberties.....people like these are my enemy.
I will no longer grant them any audience, consideration or respect. We can no longer afford to suffer such fools. They deserve absolutely no consideration by those of us who respect our Constitution and cherish our liberties. We can no longer chalk this kind of crap up to simple difference of opinion. They are the truly evil ones and they should be spurned by all who value liberty and property.
At issue is the survival, or not, of our way of life....our freedom to pursue our individual interests and to be victimized by no tyrannical government or special-interest.

America’s 11th Hour…and the GOP is Not Up to the Task
We are faced, today, with a winner-take-all battle for the survival of our United States of America as we have known it. Already without the boundaries set forth in the Declaration and the Constitution, the future of our country now hangs by the thinnest financial thread. Ben Franklin and Alexis de Tocqueville warned about the prospect of a failure that we have managed to avoid for 230 years. Now, the citizens of America appear to be mere spectators awaiting their country and their futures to die by suicide.
Corruption in Washington, DC has become an accepted and flagrant practice. Those who would destroy the concepts of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness continue to undermine our Constitution and our way of life. Our local, state and federal governments, responsible to We the People, have successfully betrayed a willing population. Those destroyers have modeled a society made up, more and more, of victims, parasites, political opportunists and saboteurs of our constitutionally limited republic. Whether they have done it by design or through ignorance and error makes no difference to the facts at hand. Those charged with the defense of our Constitution and the rights of We the People have betrayed us none-the-less.
It’s time for a bare-knuckles, knock-down, drag-out battle with Socialist-Democrats in every quarter of our country. The Socialist-Democrats and their like-minded union supporters are rallying their members and parasites to the cause. Harry Reid and Barrack Obama have succeeded in cowing the cringling Speaker of the House and his band of RINOs to losing the first round of what should, and must, be the most important battle of the years since the end of World War II.
The most incompetent president in the history of our nation, supported by the likes of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Schumer and so many others, drew his proverbial line in the sand on April 13th as he warned Speaker Boehner and all Republicans not to pursue the budget recommendations of Representative Paul Ryan and his committee. It would appear, after the recent “compromise” between Speaker Boehner and Harry Reid and the President, that Speaker Boehner and too many of his Republican flock simply do not have the stomach for the fight required today. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has, thus far, “chosen” to run from the threats, barbs, lies and shouts of the Socialist-Democrats, the liberal media and big-business unions.
When can we expect the GOP to commit to the job they were elected to do? When can we expect to see the GOP get their hands just a little bit dirty? Are we left to expect that Republicans will remain the gutless chumps we have come to expect during the past 20 years? Perhaps it’s time for another political party…a party that exhibits an aptitude for hard politic as the Socialist-Democrats who have led us down the path to socialism and self-destruction over the last 60 years.
