Not secretly funded; it's public information.
What's the misleading part?
Unions do support Democratic candidates and do not fund Republican campaigns. You can quote all the Supreme Court decisions you want. Fact: go look at organized labor contributions.
The NEA's Chanin - Watch the entire speech; in context or out of context doesn't change his words.Why don't you provide a link to the speech? Nice effort trying to blame Carl Rove for what Chanin said.
The top 2% pay 80 percent of all federal taxes. Consider fact checking and then form an opinion on facts.
The wealthiest Americans own businesses, they build new buildings and, they buy things, etc and that all equals JOBS; union jobs! Obama set unions back further than any other elected official or group of elected officials in this country's great history. Remember the auto industry? Obama put Chrysler out of business, permanently shut down Amercian union auto plants and those workers are still out of work. He put Mexican and Canadian auto plants back on line! He closed successful Chrysler dealerships all over the country and put entire business districts out of business in the process.
Obama did fund Goldman Sachs while putting their biggest competitor, Lehman Brothers, out of business. How pepople did he put out of work there? For how much? Where did all of the money go for the stressed subprime homeowners that were facing foreclosure? Any clue? Here's a hint; it did NOT go to those intended. Foreclosures continued and those folks who should have received assistance are HOMELESS! Look it up and start dealing in reality.
Or you can continue slandering and blaming the right with your empty rant while this President stands on the backs of organized labor and on the backs of the poor and tells you its the fault of the conservatives.
Stop falling for Obama telling you to look over there, not over here.
A FACT is something that actually exists; reality; truth.
A partial truth is not a fact. if you want to lecture about facts then try using some yourself.
The Clinton administration was benefitted by the THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA. Remember Newt Gingrich? Remember when he shut down the federal government and brought Clinton to the middle? Clinton takes credit for Republican policies and so do left wing progressives.Public record; check the facts. The left is wrong. The right is wrong.
The Bush Administration was hurt by 9/11. Remember that? What about the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS that eliminated the Contract with America? Start with welfare, food stamps, healthcare, free school lunches, etc for illegal immigrants. Nancy Pelosi? What did her husband's business receive from the Federal Government? Look at the liberal spending during the democratic reign in congress, raising the debt ceiling over and over. Former Bush administration defense secretary Rumsfeld - "the congress forced $10 billion on us that we did not want and did not need". Try facts.
You care about collective bargaining? Then do something about this President and stop misrepresenting previous administrations. The Obama bailout - shut down Chrysler motors permanently shuttering union auto plants. Those skilled workers are unemployable and are still out of work. Obama shut down American auto plants and put Canadian and Mexican plants back on line! Why doesn't that make you crazy? Obama closed American dealerships all over the country; the fallout was entire business districts, Mom and Pop shops, small businesses, etc that were dependent on the autodealership traffic for their livelihoods went out of businss.
The subprime mortgage mess; where did all of the money go that was earmarked for stressed homeowners? It didn't go to homeowners! It went to Obamas friends. Corrupt federal officials are stealing and killing the US economy and allowed to continue because they create these scenes, screaming look over there! Stop falling for it. Look at Franklin Raines former Fannie head and former Clinton official; should have been indicted but walked away with millions as a reward for his reckless, dispicable tenure that cripled the economy.
Why did the federal government bailout Goldman Sachs and put Goldman's biggest competitor, Lehman Brothers, out of business? Geitner? Bernanke? Paulson? Who do they report to? Who are their friends?
Why did the Obama administration exempt the SEC from the Freedom of Information Act? So the stealing could continue unabated? What are they hiding?
Obama's Fed Dept of Education has a $77 billion budget. We didn't have a dept of ed before Jimmy Carter. We were NO 1 in the world back then and now we are number 25! FACTS.
Public Pensions; Wisconsin's are 100% funded. Illinois are 50% funded; who will pay the retirement benefits when there isn't enough money for Illinois retirees? Maybe the Ponzi scheme of union growth? Same in Massachusetts. In 2025 90% of all State income taxes will be going to pay public union pensions of those States that are only partially funded now. Do you really think that THE PEOPLE will put up with that? Focus on eliminating corruption instead of beating up good people.
Stop the devisive name-calling. Stop blaming the wealthy, the successful hard working Americans who pay 75% of all taxes collected by the Fed. Stop pitting good working Americans against each other. It's people like you who are causing the loss of support from within with these stupid efforts. Too many union members are sick of the corruption, protection of the worst and the stealing of their retirement money.
Try some facts instead partial slant to bolster a position that is contributing to bankrupting America.
Unions were once great in this country; responsible for stopping abuses of so countless working men and women. Unions created safety in dangerous workplaces. Unions stopped illegal child labor. Unions created a living wage for the trades. Unions created benefits for labor. Unions were something good and something to be proud of.
The loons are endangering all of the good work of organized labor that came through tremendous sacrafice. For the sake of those who gave so much and for the sake of all of those members working now who need their retirement; calm down, stop all the hate speech, name-calling, empty finger pointing and destructive rebel rousing.
Use facts and stop spewing drivel.
LAME get over it! you lose 88% of the wage and salary earners in the country say be thankful you have jobs!
PS union protests ...nowhere on the news anymore...
