We must do something about the hundreds of thousands of people who can't afford healthcare. I think more people should know what lengths families are taking to ensure their children are protected and healthy. So sad. Thanks for the great post!
I'm glad you mentioned that public workers choose to be in the public sector. When unions fall, anyone that has a problem with the way they are being treated has a right to leave their career and peruse another one. I don't have a union backing me. I don't have collective bargaining. When the economy took a down turn my company made cut backs, to keep my job, I picked up a second job. Maybe if I had collective bargaining, I wouldn't have to work two jobs but it probably would have killed the company that I work for. I firmly support Walker and his efforts to cut back spending. If Walker would have taxed Corporations they would most likely move out of state to a lower cost location.
