Heritage posted an an excellent video today breaking down the basics of collective bargaining. A must see for people who don’t quite understand the issue not only going on in Wisconsin but in many other states too.
From The Foundry blog
Our new video is a helpful primer on the rise government unions and the monopoly power given to them through collective bargaining. Along with our helpful factsheet on the subject, they form a powerful tool to combat misinformation and educate friends and family about what is at stake in Wisconsin.

Here is a partial list of prominent names willing to support or ignore slavery for political reasons.
Paul Krugman, a Nobel prize winning economist and writer for the New York Times
Bill Maher, an extremely popular stand-up comedian and host of HBO Real Time with Bill Maher
Stephen Colbert host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report
Harold Meyerson, a columnist for the Washington Post.
Yves Smith author of the site Naked Capitalism and one of the most popular economic bloggers country
Rick Ungar, a writer for Forbes magazine.
Of course, no one on the above list has actually stood and said “I support slavery”, yet they all do.

That’s a good point actually. And it’s something the commies usually forget. Those are government employees. Where’s the money going to come from? A consumer who buys a product on his own free will?
Nope, from the tax payer who has to pay taxes or go to jail.

I could send this to all my liberal friends and they would refuse to watch it.

stand up and fight for COLLECTIVE BARGAINING RIGHTS for taxpayers. we should be able bargain with the politicans about how much we should pay in taxes. the liberals like collective bargaining so much they should give the same right to taxpayers that they give to union employees.
