think about it

All the Dems fled the state and staying in five star hotels instead of doing the job they are paid to do. They were elected to vote and they have the right to vote no. They do not have the right to flee from the job they are paid to do and should be fired for it.

And by the way, who do you think is paying for their five star hotels and meals and all other travel expenses. It sure isnt coming out of their own pockets! Bunch of thieves like the uinions is all Democrats are.

cole And one other thing. I'm a teacher in IL and I pay for myself and my family's benefits. Over $300 per paycheck for health and dental. Plus I pay 18% of my paycheck towards my pension. So couldn't I sit here and call Texas teachers freeloaders? Why don't you guys fork up money to pay for your families? But I won't. Because you're not. I'm just tryin...See MoreAnd one other thing.

So couldn't I sit here and call Texas teachers freeloaders? Why don't you guys fork up money to pay for your families? But I won't. Because you're not. I'm just trying to make a point. You probably get lower wages in exchange for your district paying for your coverage. Just like Wisconsin teachers agreed to take much lower wages at some point in the past in order to have their benefits payed for. Things have changed and teachers understand that, so they are willing to sacrifice more. Maybe you should do a little research on what the unions are upset about. Because you obviously have huge gaps in your understanding of why this is happening.

wow Wow, sure is great the our lovely leader (BO) has brought in all the protesters. The unions intentions were grand when they were formed, now it's the opposite. Thank you very much, but I pay 700.00 a month in insurance for my family. My rates increased because the healthcare crisis. But I'll pay more because I need the insurance. I hope if you're i...See More
