By: mason72518. on 12 May 12, 23:44:35
Public sector unions should be illegal. Unions are valid in the private sector but not in the public space. In public sector union negotiations the? govt & the union bosses negotiate together, both against the taxpayer.

By: PanzerDivisionBOM. on 29 Apr 12, 09:47:37
- In this case, it deals with a sector which faces no competitive pressure overall. There's no limit to how much? they can charge and how badly they can underperform. The taxpayer is forced to foot the bill, the children and their parents are still allowed to attend, and society suffers immensely for it.

By: PanzerDivisionBOM. on 29 Apr 12, 09:46:33
The political discourse around unions has to do with state-empowered unions.? Unions that can shut down employers by preventing non-union workers from underbidding them, and sometimes by even more overt means. Anti-competitive measures which enrich themselves at the expense of other workers, and more importantly at the expense of the consumer. -

The right to free ...
By: tmmy773. on 27 Apr 12, 12:35:42
The right to free speech is to be free to express your ideas civilly in a public way (nothing about unions) The right to peaceful assemble is to gather in the public as a group (nothing about unions). There is nowhere in the US Constitution that? says public employees have a right to form a union.

By: 8thRRFS. on 24 Apr 12, 16:02:33
I have no problem with private sector unions bargaining for pay and benefits. As a taxpayer, I'm not affected. But I DON'T HAVE to? buy a GM car. However, I HAVE to pay taxes (or risk being incarcerated). Understand the difference? Secondly, Corporations contribute as much, or more, to the Dems as they do to the GOP. Check out General Electric and Jeffrey Immelt, for example. Good day.

Are you implying ...
By: detroitMI76. on 24 Apr 12, 12:24:56
Are you implying that corporations and special interest groups do not donate to the GOP in equal proportion. This is a major problem with both parties. But I doubt that people stop buying GM cars because of their? lobbying activities so why should I abandon an organization that is fighting for the rights of the working class.

"We're a? non-partisan union, we contribute to the Republicans as well as the Democrats". Yeah, of course you do. You give 99 percent to the Dems, and 1 percent to the Republicans". Hey, I was born at night, but not last night!

By: 8thRRFS. on 24 Apr 12, 02:36:28
Public unions donate money to the very same Dem politicians who get into office and then, in turn, negotiate with the? unions who gave them the donations. C'mon, can you say "Corruption"?

By: skydome29. on 17 Apr 12, 19:31:16
Haha Stossel has it perfect in Ontario (Canada not Cali) the provincial government told the public unions (teachers) to vote liberal *wink wink* and put out emails thanking everybody in those sectors. It is the perfect embodiment of a kickback, but in Canada the only kickbacks that get? called out are corporate (sometimes?). How do they pay for these big powerful public union incentives? Stupid eco and wage taxes of course. North America funds, exempts, and advertizes failure.

This is a problem for any state. Where I'm from, Maryland, 15 of the wealthiest counties in the country are with bounds of D.C. A byproduct of all the government jobs. According to the Maryland Reporter, over 5000 state employees earn over 100,000 dollars. Almost two-thirds of them or 3,310 worked for the University of Maryland, which includes the flagship College Park. Coaches and top doctors were the second highest? earners and 117 employees in the state police.

By: Marcara081. on 16 May 12, 12:16:25
This is bullshit. All of it. He's presenting false equivalencies like a FOX news anchor. The private sector is responsible for bribing our politicians AFTER elections. All elected officials are done by vote from the people - not their wallets. Unions DO NOT destroy their employers - they'd lose their jobs otherwise, that's such horseshit. DO NOT take anything this shmuck says at face value, he's here? to push an agenda and NOT to present real facts. It all bullshit and it's bad for ya.

And perhaps the most delictable? post... The BLS uses the U3 or U4 numbers, whereas any economist with a brain knows that in order to get an accurate unemployment picture you need to look at the U6. The BLS statistic is notoriously unrealistic. Strange how one can learn that trough a simple undergrad. economics course and not FOXNEWS. Now that you have been owned again, I wonder..... What will you change the topic to now? Bring it on, as I am ready to OWN you again.

Quit getting your information from MSNBC. If liberal policies are so great, then why didnt Clinton stick to them?? Only after Clinton governed as a CONSERVATIVE did the economy see the gains that it did. What does this have to do with unions anyway? Wow, you have a way of ignoring central points. I smack down your liberal bs, and you try to change the subject. Admit it, you LOST the debate.

By: fahs. on 06 May 12, 01:16:58
The KKK? and the democtatic party were in colusion for years, read your history. You cannot be serious about Carter. You honestly think that the economy was great under Carter? Really? Were you alive back then? Unemployment went up during LBJ, Carter, AND Obama. Unemployment went down during Nixon, Reagan, and yes, even Bush II. If you honestly think that taking money from the earners and distributing it to everyone is the key to a good economy you should have your head examined.

By: jrwel14. on 05 May 12, 21:46:24
The GOP sported the Klan during the Volstead act. Bush cut taxes twice and fought 2 wars. BLS gov shows that since Truman,Only Reagan lowered unemploment among Conservatives the others raised it. On the Dems side, only Obama raised it. Carter it stayed the same. And,? the others lowered unemployment. Look up "If, you want to live like a Republican, then vote Democratic"

By: fahs. on 05 May 12, 05:47:53
Democrats cannot for one second claim that they are the party of fiscal responibility. While we are bringing up off the topic issues, Democrats want to have sex selective abortion, actively supported the KKK, put American citizens in concentration camps, got us into? Vietnam along with several wars, and silents free speech. Anyone that blindly follows a political party ideology (DNC or GOP) is a fool at best, and a useful idiot at worst.

I have never heard a Republican say that private sector unions should be banned or made illegal. What you? are saying has never happened. Debt cieling, balanced budget, etc. that you bring up has nothing to do with this issue at hand. However, those 91% tax rates that you refer to take nothing into the fact that we had a lot more deductions back then. Nobody paid 91%. (Don't believe me, look it up yourself.)

But, the new ...
By: jrwel14. on 04 May 12, 19:26:06
But, the new Conservatives want to get rid of ALL unions. What's wron with Conservatism? They lost what made? them better. Eisenhower knew about the need for taxes and regulations. He was in office in 1956. The LAST time the GOP had a balanced budget. And, that's with 91% tax rates and the Federal Highway Act. Reagan was the one who gave federal workers social security. Raised the debt ceiling 17 times, and raised taxes 7 times.

Reagan was not talking about public sector unions, but private sector unions. FDR himself said that collective bargaining for public emplyees was a bad idea. In reference to the air traffic controllers, we had government employees that were striking. Reagan stated that once federal employees are givien the right to strike, those same employees have the rest of us by the? balls.

By: scottwalkerwtch. on 04 May 12, 00:08:52
Police are in unions.? So are firefighters. I know, so are teachers. But that would not be important to people like you because you only get your thoughts from others, namely people who don't even know they have been pickpocketed by the Republican Banksters. They love how you are so cute in your brainwashed screed. Having actually been in Madison, there was NO violence during the Uprising. O'Reilly AND YOU used LA footage from the 1990's to act like it happened in Madison. Great job, putz.

I'm a public employee, and trust me, most pensions aren't as exorbinate as you've been lead to believe. I know that taxpayers pay my wages and I don't expect to get rich doing what I'm doing, but I am doing an important job and I do expect to be compensated fairly. Most of what I make that I don't pay in taxes goes back into the private sector. Private sector? employees need to start demanding more rather than demand that public employees get less; trust me, the money's there in most cases.

By: 77tongandeathgrip. on 12 May 12, 15:33:24
First of all, that simply isn't true. Yes, a county attorney makes more than somebody who works at McDonald's, but? makes less than an attorney who works for private practice. Public employees actually make less. There are twelve cookies. The Wall Street CEO grabs 11 of them. The public employee picks up the last one, then splits it in half to share with the private employee. The CEO then tells the private employee "Hey! That public employee is taking too much of your cookie!"

In fact, one of my friends, who has a M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from USC, just found a job in San Diego making $45,000/year after being laid off for 9 months. He has five years of experience. He doesn't get the job security? as teachers do, has to work year round and contribute to his retirement. Also, if you calculate the cost of living difference

By: R6Mike88. on 25 Dec 11, 07:20:39
- allowed him to focus on his online business more. Pulling in more than $75,000 in addition to his $54,000 a year + $32,000 in benefits salary. So in reality, that guy with an B.A. in Sociology is making over $150k/year. When he was? teaching, he didn't have to contribute to his pension and made a health care premium contribution that was four times lower than the average private sector worker's contribution. Wow.

This made many banks fail and thus the financial system collapsed. Also, the federal reserve kept interest rates too low for too long (in order to encourage this bad behavior) - Tisk. Tisk.

By: R6Mike88. on 25 Dec 11, 07:07:05
- Third mistake - Tommy Thompson stole money? Really? Where is any proof of this? You don't have any because it was JIM DOYLE, the previous democrat governor who raided? the transportation fund to give to WEAC. Also, he used 1 billion in stimulus money to try and balance the budget AND he used the tobacco settlement money to try and do the same thing. In fact, he left us with 3.6 BILLION dollars in the hole. Not exactly the most ethical man ever. More mistakes to follow...

By: R6Mike88. on 25 Dec 11, 07:04:46
- First mistake. How are Wisconsin's state employees paid? Oh wait, by the taxpayers. Second mistake - Other Governor's are having trouble because the corrupt union bosses are very powerful, as evident in California where Democrat Gov. Jerry Brown is trying to make the same limitations to collective bargaining AND changes to pension and health care premium contributions but the Democrat legislature? vows not to vote on it. More mistakes to come, limited on the space.

Actually, it is not even close to being intellectual. Fortunately, the public was onto people like you in 2010 and now they're even more onto you coming into 2012. I can't wait!

By: R6Mike88. on 25 Dec 11, 06:57:37
- Most of the time they have succeeded in doing that. But you missed the point. Inflated wages only last a little while. They kill jobs and negatively impact the macro economy. Unions hurt the middle class. Are you just that ignorant or too lazy to research it? Was that why you failed to get my obviously clear and concise? point?

Wisconsin's pension ...
By: klugger4. on 21 Dec 11, 20:25:00
Wisconsin's pension system is 99% funded. It is not the taxpayer's money, it is the worker's who earned the money. Do I get a portion of your 401K when you retire? Other states are having trouble funding their pensions because their governor got away? with stealing the money. Remember this is what Tommy Thompson tried doing and was told to repay it. So are you adovocating for more corporate greed which is what drove this country into a recession under Bush in the first place?

How much do you ...
By: klugger4. on 21 Dec 11, 20:20:36
How much do you make? I don't think 40,000 a year is too crazy. How much school you need to get your job? Do you have to maintain your degree? Sounds like you should organize a union, so you too could enjoy some benefits of being a skilled American worker. ?

Oh poor teachers? with there summers off 10 holidays, vacation pay, 15 sick days, guaranteed pensions, snow days and health care for life. Oh you are so screwed and if you dont like the job others will take it along with the benefits. Quit crying and come work in the private non union sector jobs that pay on performance not on years of service.

Actually the Unions ...
By: tkcrofamericans. on 21 Dec 11, 19:41:10
Actually the Unions did cause you to lose your job due to the fact that Public Union pensions are bankrupting all of the states. Who gets a guaranteed pension along with health ins for life at very little cost except to the actual taxpayers. He has to make cuts along with giving tax breaks to company's so they will actually? come back to the state to create real jobs not government jobs that suck up all money it can get its hands on.

By: SPAD58. on 03 Jun 11, 14:08:32
Remember that union? benifits are a result of negotiation between management and the union. Management agrees to grant the payouts. In the case of government workers "management" is your elected officials. I have witnessed union workers caught stealing and reporting to work drunk return to the job as a result of union pressure. Maybe that type of action is the real issue?

By: EconCat88. on 14 Apr 11, 15:45:27
Cut their total pay and benefits by about 30-50% and they can collectively bargain all they wish. Also, we? probably could privatize and cut their overall workforce by 50% to become a more productive economy.

By: ejdf870. on 07 Apr 11, 18:59:42
Human hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. When the economy was booming, and the private sector was making a killing, no one gave a SHIT that public sector employees didn't share in that boom. Now that? their party is over they want to come to us to take away what we have. It's like the "Prodigal Son" who, after enjoying all his cash, goes broke and returns to his father to support him. Absolutely sickening.

@williejenkins666 I am so happy Wisconsin is not a 'right to work' state. I think that's some sort of code word for 'southern state'. Through Federal spending of tax revenues, the movement of money from Blue to Red states constitutes the largest, most continuous wealth transfer in the history of mankind. In other words, we make money, the south (sorry, the 'right to work' states) spends it. Enjoy your free lunch. BTW, I'd be happy if you would? look that up, just so you can see it for yourself.

THERE IS? NO "FAIR" WAGE FOR TEACHERS. The closest we can come is that wage structure produced from negotiations between a strong teachers union and a powerful government body. Pitting a SINGLE employee against a powerful state government or a multi-national corporation is laughingly unfair. Only through COLLECTIVE bargaining between these entities can something approaching a "fair" wage be reached.

Truly secret votes where employers can't identify and fire organizers. Force employers to bargain? with unions 30 days after a successful vote.

I've been a union member for 25 years -- even served in union leadership. Unions have their place in the private sector where the other side (management) has skin in the game in contract negotiatioons. In the public sector, management has no skin in the game -- having little concern about how much a labor contract costs since they can simply pass the cost on to the taxpayer. No government worker should be represented by a union. He is there to serve? the people -- not the other way around!

Still watching, but unless there's a complete breakdown, Cenk? is losing this. I don't see why the burden of proof, in explaining away "assumptions," should be expected of Dranias and not Cenk. How does Cenk assume without collective bargaining there is no bargaining power. It's usually pay that gives workers the power to give his talents to a higher bidder. Leaving cheap businesses deprived of talent (capital-ism). Maybe I should watch a little bit more, and see if Cenk comes back like Ali.

The protests in Wisconsin are just the surface of a far, far larger phenomenon taking place beneath the surface. In this Firewall, Bill examines the three great waves of human civilization, and how what we are seeing in Madison is a war the Unions ultimately cannot win.

By: Alaskaslim. on 03 May 12, 06:31:18
"How does the 17th Amendment diffuse the states power?" State legislatures originally voted Senators into office in order for them to be their Advocates, now they're just another advocate for popular majority. States typically like to be able to control their own issues and not have that power taken from them by the Federal Gov't. Having Senators accountable to THEM would help ensure that. You only have? to look at the number of court cases of States vs the Federal gov't to get the appeal.

They could vote over the internet and then could reside WITH their constituents in their home state. It could happen.

I agree, I agree with most of what the tea party says: Free Markets Small government etc. However, as a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pacifist, atheist I could never support the tea party's homophobic, pro-abortion, hawk and religious components. However given that Bill? talked about the paleolithic era in this, the religious component might not be as an important of an aspect as the media has led us to believe...

By: cmustard599. on 20 Mar 12, 04:38:53
That was my first impression, too. While the historical and economic narrative that Mr. Whittle espouses makes perfect sense to me, I have been deeply ambivalent about joining the Tea Party bandwagon due to the huge anti-science, religious fundamentalist constituency. As an atheist and an American, I am happy to allow others to follow their conscience and practice their religion as an expression of? their liberty. They do not seem to want the same for me, however.

Despite the "diametric opposition" you allege between private and public sector employees, most people do not act as rational, economic-minded individuals in every one of their political decisions. Our country would be in a sad state of affairs if every voter was a purely profit-driven minion voting and spending only in cases in which she finds economically advantageous. Fortunately, many private sector workers still believe in fair treatment of those poor souls who work for the? government.

By: peltecs. on 02 Mar 11, 10:56:48
That's right. Its not the middle class that is being affected here, its the government class that has to take the hit. They have been living with unreal benefits and slightly higher pay? and they don't want to take the hit now that the government is broke. The only way the government class can continue is through taxes and fines. The average working person should shun the government class. They have no right to a high standard of living at the expense of the average citizen.

Unlike private business, governments are monopolies. They face no competition and get their? money by force. So they can conspire with public-sector unions to milk taxpayers. Politicians (primarily Democrats) get union political support by granting government workers generous pensions and health benefits. After those politicians leave office, taxpayers are liable for trillions in unfunded promises. That explains the fix we're in today.

All the bankrupt states, like Illinois, New York, California, and New Jersey, are forced union states. Meanwhile, the most fiscally sound states are all right to work states. For those that insist union states are better for education, Florida is rated 3rd, Texas 8th,? and Kansas 7th, and these are all right to work states. Public sector unions are a monopoly and can go on strike whenever they want. They prevent competition and create a corrupt relationship with union bosses/politicians.

Forced unionism is bad for the union because politicians change. FORCED unionism is forced SLAVERY! Closed-Shop unions bosses are greedy slavers of Useful Idiots!
