The SEIU Is At War With YouPublic sector unions are at odds with taxpayers.
Unions came into being to ensure workers received a reasonable share of company profits. But public sector unions serve the opposite purpose: they seek only to rape the taxpayer, because governments don't make profits -- they simply levy taxes.
And now, after decades of abuse, public sector unions' outrageous pension and wage obligations -- far beyond those of the private sector -- are crushing towns, cities, counties and states.
Given the horrible economy, will these taxpayer-funded unions agree to wage cuts? Let's review some headlines from around the world to answer that question.

Social justice hoax likened to corrupt racketeeringThe wounded ACORN snake continues writhing. This time, the group has been barred from the entire state of Ohio, a swing state where the organization was very active in the last presidential election.
So active, in fact, it received an “Unsung Hero” award from the Communist Party USA for its “critical but generally unrecognized role of organized labor and grassroots voter registration efforts in winning Ohio for Barack Obama,” according to a document on ACORNcracked.com.
But now, ACORN has reached a settlement under the Ohio Corrupt Activities Act, similar to the federal RICO Act – the same law that’s used to prosecute mobsters and drug kingpins.
Under the settlement, ACORN, along with Project Vote, agreed “to file a certificate permanently surrendering its business license in Ohio by June 1,” according to The Columbus Dispatch.
The next part of the settlement was critical: it bars ACORN from simply changing its name and moving back into the state. From the Dispatch:
"The center’s lawyer, Maurice A. Thompson, said the settlement is mostly confidential but permanently bars ACORN from doing business in Ohio or reconstituting as another group and perpetuating its practices."
