[QUOTE="Johnny Paycheck, post: 1294260, member: 51820"] Agreed, :censored: those police, teachers, firemen, and EMT's. They're not allowed to want anything. Only us package boys in brown shorts are allowed to want things! Public sector unions do not "bargain against the tax payers," they have bosses just like we do. The money they're paid with originally comes from the taxpayers, but to say they bargain against the tax payers is to say we bargain against UPS shareholders and investors. They bargain against management just like we do. And they want raises to adjust for inflation/cost of living, they want decent pensions, healthcare, time-off for when they're not saving our lives/educating our children, but we should tell them they don't matter because "You're paid with taxes."? To say "I deserve to bargain for things I want but a fireman does not because he gets paid from my taxes." Makes no sense and betrays an extremely exceptionalist mentality. You move a box from Point A to Point B. [/QUOTE]
