Email: Scott Walker, Hero of the Working Massas

Nobody Get Email

Life can be simple if you follow the signs. Today as I was minding my own business, laying around reading such nebulous facts like…In the year1996 the  spokesman for the CIA was Chase Brandon, who happened to be a cousin of Tommy Lee Jones, who happened to be Al Gore’s old college roommate. Chase’s job was to give access to previously restricted areas to the media and Hollywood. And then I thought..mmmm, Ron Perry used to be Al Gore’s campaign manager, a fact we should make him talk about. It’s such a small world in the elite power structure called Washington/Hollywood, don’t you think?

Like I said, I was minding my own business when I got a call from Minnesota from a conservative black man who wanted $100 dollars to help Scott Walker.  He wanted money, not for Scott  Walker, but to keep the unions from starting up recall elections throughout the country.

When I didn’t give, he lowered it to $50, then $30. Well, I’m following the Steve Jobs rule of “no charity but my own” at the moment and  so I come to the “follow the signs” moment of clarity.

Today, being the lazy day that I don’t write but POST emails…I knew exactly what email to post…I had gotten my sign. (Thanks to Tom Beebe)

Why in the world is this not being reported and talked about by our politicians.

Nobody Says–(Why indeed? Why isn’t China being talked about? Why isn’t Marxism being talked about? Why isn’t Michelle trying to force us all into a rehashed version of Hitler’s state vegetarian diet being talked about?)

Governor Walker deserves many accolades for his actions and grief in dismantling the WEA. Please pass this on…..

The Democrats and the Liberals are keeping really quiet about this. Remember the violent and disgusting demonstrations over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker doing away with collective bargaining for Teachers unions? The results are in. Some school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result. They are even hiring new teachers, not firing like the Liberals said would happen. Why?

It seems that the insurance company that provided all the “so-called” benefits to the teachers was an insurance company owned and operated by the teacher’s union. Since that outfit was guaranteed to get the insurance business from the teachers, and the state had to pay for it (not the teachers) the insurance company was increasing annual costs every single year to become the most expensive company in the state. Then the company was donating millions and millions of dollars to its favorite democrat politicians who, when they got elected, guaranteed to keep funding the union’s outrageous costs. In other words, the insurance company. It was a “pass through” for Wisconsin taxpayer money to go directly to the democrat politicians.

Nice racket, and this is the racket that is going on in every single State that allows collective bargaining. No wonder the States are taking it away.

(Nobody thinks this was what my phone call was about.)

Now the State of Wisconsin is free to put the insurance contract out for bids and, lo and behold they have saved so much money it has turned deficits into surplus amounts. As a result, none of the teachers had to be laid off, everyone got a raise, etc. etc,..and the taxpayers of Wisconsin don’t have to pay more taxes to fund the union’s political ambitions.

If you weren’t aware of the reasons Gov. Walker was fighting to take away collective bargaining, it gives you an idea of the problem the Republican Party has. Outside of one or two, none of them know how to speak up and explain properly what the problem was. We could sure use a Ronald Reagan now, someone who could explain things for people to understand, since we know that people don’t like to read anymore.

Here’s what Tom Beebe wrote, the reader who sent me this email, back during the demonstrations:

Let us acknowledge the right for all workers to collective bargaining with the limitation that it is a right, but should not be a condition of employment. The results of collective bargaining are often to the detriment of the workers. The UAW got sweetheart deals, and the management looking the other way when workers got less and less productive. Result? Check out the nearest lot for Hondas, Nissans, and Toyotas, and check out Detroit’s dismal streets or available manufacturing space here in Fenton Missouri.

The public sector is much the same in that negotiators across the table from the unions are as corrupt from the unions are as corrupt, perhaps even more spineless than those of the Big Three who gave away the store to the UAW. So let us seek legislation that would require public sector contracts be put to the vote of the taxpayers, just as the UAW contracts and member behavior were put to the vote of the car buyer. Unions and management’s last best offers to on the ballot for a binding vote by the electorate. And should we feel the politicians charged with representing us have made too generous an offer to the unions, we need only to look down at the ballot to find the opportunity to throw them out.
