The Oregon teacher’s union, using their forced unionism privileges, spent a remarkable amount of money fighting educational reform. ”. . .the nation’s two large teachers’ unions and their state affiliates contributed $357 per teacher to elections,” making it the biggest spending teacher’s union in the nation. The union bosses pumped over $10 million into efforts battling three initiatives including one that would tie pay raises to classroom performance.
How much time and tax dollars does the GOP spend in trying to dismantle worker rights and why doesn’t their far right, ignorant base realize that any attack on workers rights is an eventual attack on their own sectors wages and benefits. Americans need to educate themselves, turn off the noise of vulgar propagandist and study their history. Read books based in well documented facts and not books written by propaganda pushing cynical pigs that make millions on your ignorance and anger. The rights you take for granted such as an 8 hour work day and a 5 day work week, benefits and living wages, work place safety and dignity were fought for and paid for by the blood and suffering of your great grandfathers and grandmothers, WAKE UP! READ! THINK FOR YOURSELVES! Americans were shot down in cold blood by police, private militias and even the national guard doing the bidding of tyrannical plutocrats who were the heads of corporate America. Don’t believe me? Look it up! Ask yourself, what was the LUDLOW MASSACRE OF 1914? Goggle it and read and see just one example of what the American worker went through to gain the rights you take for granted! The GOP is working hard to sell us out to corporate America while the inept Democrats stand bye idle and complicit in the destruction of our quality of life. You better think twice before jumping on a bandwagon driven by morons and sell out your children and the rest of your fellow Americans and drag us all down with your misdirected rage!
