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.
