Government Unions

Letter to the Editor
Daily Press

It’s about time. Thank you Wisconsin and Governor Walker for finally taking action against the greed of your public employee unions. Collective bargaining has helped to get we taxpayers into the current financial disaster. The demonstrators are advertising their selfishness and now are asking us to be sympathetic. This makes no sense. Keep on demonstrating teachers, police, firefighters, prison guards, and judges, for the longer you fight the more you are alienating those of us who pay your salary and pensions. Tell your AWOL senators that this isn’t America when they cowardly run to Illinois.

This reader is beyond tax paying years but where it is possible I refuse to pay taxes. We private sector employees should band together for a Tax Boycott until this injustice is fixed nationwide. Down with the governmental Madoff Ponzi scheme when the taxpayer has to make the investment for you. The rest of the country is suffering and now it’s your turn. The public sector will never get the workers of America working so you are of diminished value to us!
