We can survive without public sector unions. They cannot survive without us.
I call for the formation of a new union, one representing the over 80% of all workers who are not currently represented. I suggest that membership be open to all taxpayers not belonging to a union and that membership can be begun and ended year by year, with a prorated refund of dues anytime a politician you don’t want to support is supported. I suggest that we vote ourselves the “right” to bargain and the “right” to have union members pay OUR retirement and healthcare. In fairness, the unions will likely loose the ability to negotiate pension and healthcare soon either way. Perhaps we should only reserve the one right we truly do have; the right to the pursuit of happiness; the right to keep our property. I suggest we organize a taxpayers union and strike to end the extortion of our property on the threat of public employee sickouts. I want the right to strike and put the golden egg laying goose out of the egg laying business. I want to strike to end the practice of borrowing from our children without their informed consent, to send from balanced-budget/right-to-work states like Virginia, to states like Wisconsin.

The Teacher’s Unions in Wisconsin have hastened the demise of public sector unions.
The teacher’s union could have simply allowed this proposed bill to pass quietly, then wait a couple of years and have the union supported Congress that would one day return, “fix it,” and get back to negotiating ever increasing benefits. What a fitting end to public sector union conflict-of-interest, at the hands of voter solidarity. Continue reading
Teachers are more fun than real people.
A person would have to be crazy to devote themselves to teaching students who do not value them, be berated by parents who want them to lighten up on school workload and complexity, while reporting to bureaucrats who will not support them except when lying about their motives contrary to their work agreement. I for one am thankful that such insanity exists.

Dennis Kucinich is the domestic enemy he is sworn to defend against.
It seems obvious to me that Mr. Kucinich turns to his sense of morality for guidance instead of his sense of reason. It does not take courage to do what feels right. Courage is doing the right thing when people like Kucinich want you to feel like it is wrong or immoral. Vegas was built and thrives on people waging their own money on hope and a roll of the dice. Consider how powerful such hope is with other people’s money and a belief in “moral responsibility.” Continue reading
Kudos to President Obama and Jon Stewart

If only the hens were less partisan.
Posted from email list distribution August 2009 – President Obama told friendly pastors today that they are morally obligated as men of faith to let the government provide health care. If his logic is not flawed, then we are morally … Continue reading
Culture of the Privileged.
What does it mean to have a right? How is it different than a privilege? In the simplest terms, a right is something that exists regardless of the actions of others regardless of location. You have the right to speak … Continue reading
