Individual liberty anywhere is a threat to the Progressive-Collectivist Cause everywhere.
Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC) has introduced the Empower Employees Act, a bill that would stop labor unions from automatically deducting union dues from federal government employees’ paychecks.(full story at netrightdaily.com)

Scott wrote, “Time and again, when the automatic deduction of union dues has been stopped, there have been dramatic decreases in the amount of dues collected.”
Rep. Scott went on to further note two prominent moments when unions were barred from automatically collecting dues. When Indiana Gov.

Clearly, once the workers were free of the paycheck shanghai that was occurring, they chose to spend their money elsewhere rather than pay the union.

"Oh [Muslim] brothers, the nation that excels in the death industry, and knows how to die a noble [death], Allah grants it a precious life in this world and eternal bliss in the Afterlife. The only weakness that shall humiliate us is the love of this world and hating death. Therefore we have prepared your souls for great action, strive for death - and life will be given to you."-- From Palwatch translation of The Muslim Brotherhood handbook.
