THE UNION AND ENTITLEMENT PROBLEM GO HAND IN HAND

The tail is waging the dog. Politician from either party have not come close to address the challenges we face.  Those of the Democratic bent are at the beck and call of the public unions. Without their support they would be nothing. This is where the firestorm starts. Democrat after Democrat has given away the bank to these unions. Town after town, city after city to state after state and soon it will be the country that comes to their heel. Public unions rule our lives on a daily basis. From the teacher to the policeman. The majority of government workers belong to a union. And most Americans do not understand the ramifications of this. Government employees receive 44% higher wages than those in the private sector. And most can retire at 60% or more of their final 3 years pay after 30 years, no age limit. This is unheard of in the private sector.  .
 
Greece is a prime example, their overall debt is equal to 900 percent of their GDP. What does this mean? An example will suffice. Let's say an individual amassed debt equal to 9 times his yearly earnings, in order to pay off the debt, the debtor will need to turnover to his creditor all the earnings he makes for 9 years. And if he does this, he will have no money left to spend on anything else. Do you get the picture? The United States is waiting in the wings to join the party. We will be auditioning for three more years.

For 45 years the liberal progressives with the Republican complicity have entitled certain segments of the population. This segment believes they are entitled to everything and for free. We ask the basic question, are the taxpayers entitled to anything? Apparently not. These liberal economic policies and profligate spending produced an entitled underclass and therefore a false solidarity in our nation We bought peace for the past 45 years. We have now reached a point where the taxpayer is frustrated, angry and ready to revolt. Do not be shocked to find that a major taxpayer revolt occurring in the very near future. 

The  liberal progressive legislation that became law was done  in a very reckless fashion. The end result, it has brought our society to the brink of class warfare. From affirmative action to entitlements the average American has had enough.  We see this in Arizona, we see it during union negotiations and we see it daily in the world around us. The liberal progressives have have seated judges that make law instead of enforcing the law. Their by product is the release of criminals before full sentences are served. Criminals roam our streets because of mere technicalities. The chickens rule the roost. School children cannot be disciplined do to rules and regulations promulgated by liberals, this has caused mayhem in educating them. Today our Country is divided. And this is not a good thing. Like tectonic plates, something has to give and soon.

Back to our main point, as we brought this to your attention months ago, the pensions of the union employees who are on the verge of  retiring and those that are retired, have saddled the states with a contingent liability (debt) of close to $3,000,000,000,000 (three trillion dollars). And many of these civil servants can retire at 55 years old. A deal not unlike those in Greece. And you know where Greece is today, BANKRUPT.  If we continue to go down the same path, our future will be not the same as our past. We have spent our future.  To use an old quote, "YOU CAN'T GET BLOOD OUT OF A STONE". The Revolution is just around the corner.

We failed to mention the rioting unions in Greece, they are fighting against the government that have given them these lucritive salaries. When they are asked for concessions, these blood thirsty unions RIOT. Do not expect less in the United States.  Are the unions for themselves or are they against the United States? Can they be for both?  You be the judge.
