Thanks for posting.

First, I’m highly skeptical of police and fire unions, and have no problem get rid of them as well. That said, they put their lives on the line in ways that teachers don’t. Walker was clearly playing a little politics with singling them out, but that’s politics. Divide and conquer.

My bet is that these unions are still fighting him on this bill, even though he singled them out.

The Kochs are no different from Phoenix university founder John Sperling or Progressive Insurance billionaire funding the radical left. Ted Gill of Colorado put millions into flipping the state blue. I have no problem with political spending on either of the aisle, as it is access to free speech.

You’d probably like nothing better than stopping the Kochs or Business from funding campaign, while Union thugs continue to fund the Democrats campaign to bankrupt America. I am more fair. Let everyone fund everything they like with no restrictions or contribution limits.

The left is LOADED with rich donors, who, frankly are more creative than the Bozos on the right who fund the same groups and consultants.

I am a critic of corporate greed, but I have a choice not to buy their products. I’m stuck with the obscene property and income taxes generated by the insatiable greed of the public worker. Greed is a human failing, and applies equally to corporate toadies – who are siding more and more with the Czarist left of Obama, as long as they can keep their coke and porn parties in the Hamptons and LA.

I notice their invite lists are full of Obama administration toadies. Seriously. Dump the cheap class war rhetoric. It doesn’t solve anything.

Both parties are corrupt, and most politicians are forced to make compromises.

That\\\’s an important point here. Unions are fine with him if they side politically with him.

What about the corporate pigs? You know, the ones who are funding the Tea Party groups, made up of just regular folks like the billionaire Koch Brothers? Why aren\\\’t people up in arms about corporate greed and their hijacking of democracy?

Have you read this blog. I’m generally pro-immigration, not anti.

Read first, comment after.

It’s also a hazing process. The system is designed to weed out the talented and independent, and create Union Drone, who then gets tenure, and fights for the union. It’s an insidious and evil engine of greed and mediocrity.

My wife and I have home-taught each of our four children, absolutely refusing their participation in California public schools. Two of our children, a son and daughter, are well on their way to completing 4-year university educations in engineering and pre-med, respectively, each at the top of their classes. Our youngest two will soon finish our \"home education program\" and have scored high on ACT tests.

Not only have our children excelled at our hands, they are socially adept, prolific writers and thinkers and have excelled in music and sports. It\’s too bad that many parents lack the wherewithall to teach, train, inspire and challenge their own children. It\’s also too bad that our California schools have NEVER been up to the task either.

It\\\\\\\’s been a long time. I can see you\\\\\\\’re still fighting the good fight. You could have made a point regarding Ms. Lewis\\\\\\\’s comment that many teachers leave the profession after five years. Such departures needs to be put in this context: females make up the vast majority of elementary ed. majors. As a result many of them leave teaching because in the span of the five years following graduation, they get married, have children and decide to be stay-at-home moms. It happens all the time.

They saved us from winning the Senate and being “responsible” for solving problems. Not taking the senate was a blessing.
