What is happening?? Sad day for the public workers
I am confused and saddened by so much that I see in the news lately. Union busting everywhere. I thought that Wall Street greed caused the financial mess that we are stuck in today. But, apparently I was confused. It was caused by those greedy teachers, police officers, and other public servants wanting to get paid a decent wage and earn good retirement packages. Shame on the politicians who go along with this. Shame on the journalists who report as if there is nothing to analyze. Shame on everyone who screams they don't want to raise taxes on the wealthy. Our children are losing, the poorest of the poor are losing. As we fall into decline as a society, remember that your SUV that sucks gas as if it were abundant and cheap is costing a child his or her education and health. Your refusal to recycle is costing the future a clean planet. Your refusal to pay taxes for the education system that you used as a child is now going to cost the children of the future a decent education. When your house is robbed, remember those greedy police officers who had to be cut. When your home burns to the ground because you did not want to pay taxes to fix the roads and upgrade the fire equipment and pay the fire fighters, remember this day. When you are sent a bill for a 911 call because the greedy dispatchers union wanted a decent salary, remember this day.
