Guess The State
Facing crushing financial burdens, lawmakers took on the labor unions and voted to strip collective bargaining rights from teachers, police officers and government employees with the goal of saving taxpayers $100 million in the next year alone. Can you name that state?
If you said Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida or New Jersey, you'd be wrong. The latest state to tackle the fiscal mess created by the unions is … Massachusetts!
Tuesday, the Democrat-dominated state House voted 111-to-42 to roll back collective bargaining rights.
That Massachusetts liberals are following the example of conservative Republican governors would seem like news. But the liberal media have no desire to explain to you that conservative ideas actually work. They want you to think that Republicans are dysfunctional and can't run anything. The media's double standard is disgusting, and matched only by the hypocrisy of the left.
Where were the union protestors? Where were the college students and radical activists storming the state House in Boston? I guess it is okay when Democrats "assault unions" and workers' rights. By the way, where are all the anti-war protestors marching against Obama's war of choice in Libya? Did Obama go to war for Libya's oil?
