Yes, the rights we enjoy now would dwindle away slowly but surely. Hell, they're discriminating against the unemployed now. And we have to pee in a cup or give blood or have our credit checked and our Facebook pages scrutinized in order to even be considered for employment. I'd say they've dwindled quite a bit.
It's about time the Wisconsin republican legislature got a chance to feel a little of the wrath of the working folks. Vote 'em all out, Wisconsin! We're with you all the way!
I understand the unions are upset that they can't buy Republicans, but do they need to act in such a petty manner? It really hurts them, and their employees (the Dems).

So let's get this straight. You're losing every job that can be outsourced because your workers cost too much. So your answer is to allow groups to form that can demand higher wages and more benefits? Even worse is when they're unionized and work for a government they help elect.

Yeah, that's pretty important if you want your company, America, to succeed.

Strange. If it's already a corporation, you want more of it? Yet your counter argument is if government goes away corporations will take over. You've set up a lose-lose situation so why not just go jump off a building now?

Now that you understand the definition of corporation and all...

Which is placing yourself as far out of the marketplace as you possibly can. No wonder no one else has your interest at mind.

At this point the only people that look like they're sabotoging things is the spend-happy liberals who seem to think demanding more jobs and more benefits while most of the rest of the world works for fractions on the dollar per day of what these thugs work for and then they have the unmitigated gall to complain?

Apparently it's all the same to you anyways so why not try to choke it out if you hate corporations (people) that is your government (people) that will take over your government (you) if government (your neighbor) gets too small?

interesting.
I would think as Americans youd promote free speech,
I guess that only applies to people who agree with you

Organized by thug union reps. It would be a badge of honor to be banned by such thugs.
In NJ the union boss of the teacher's labor union pulls in $550,000 plus executive perks and bennies.
yep.....sounds like just another one of those working folks.
