[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 357913, member: 1007"] For starters, while I despise the existence of ALL unions, my sentiments in this thread are aimed mostly at public worker unions, not private ones. Private worker unions, as much as I hate them, aren't funded by the tax payers. Public worker unions are. Next, did you even READ ThxJackVainisi's post? It has NOTHING to do with being jealous. There are lots of people in this world who make way more money than I do, and I'm not jealous of them. I figure some of them at least worked for it, so I respect them more for it. What I hate, though, is the entitlement mentality unions and their members have, especially when with the public worker unions who rely on our tax dollars to earn their living. It's this idea that they shouldn't be expecting to share in the sacrifices the rest of us have to make. Me me me me, and screw everyone else. It's this idea that it's OK to continue to raise taxes on everyone so you can have a fancy retirement on the tax payers dime, all because you happened to work for the state. Sorry, but eff that. Finally, so what if public union members pay taxes. As I already proved in a previous post, they don't pay enough to cover their compensation. It's simple math- You need 4 tax payers making $40,000/year paying 20% in taxes to cover just the salary of 1 government employee. Double that to factor in benefits and pensions. It's a BS system that absolutely needs to be fixed. Private business and unions, whatever. I hate them, but I won't rail against them since that's absolute capitalism at it's core. Public worker unions though, they need to go. [/QUOTE]
