And about my taxpayer money being used for corporate welfare, auto industry bailouts, billion-dollar junk projects for the DoD, subsidies for the oil industry and corn industry, tax cuts for the ultra-rich, tax breaks for the purchase of high-dollar large trucks for the rich, special tax rates for capital gains for the rich...
I thought this thread was about unions, schools, benefits and the position of a governor of a state. As usual, it is turning into a general Leftist harangue about everything imaginable.

BTW, your school taxes and your state taxes are not determined by Washington. They are a local matter. State governance (with regard to unions) is not a Federal issue. It is the dominion of those who live in that state and is determined by their legislature and elected officials.
