Minnesota's public-sector unions fight for a tax increase. Screw you, Taxpayers, we want OURS NOW!

This is exemplar of why, you see, these public-sector unions are bad, bad news and should never have been allowed to exist. Here we have a State, Minnesota, unable to balance it's budget; these union thugs want merit raises come hell or high water, no matter what is going on around them: unemployment, people raking in seemingly never-ending unemployment benefits and other public largess (welfare and food stamps), paid for with mostly borrowed funds. But we're gonna get our merit increases, Minnesota, no matter if it is stolen in the form of tax increases on ALL citizens, as proposed by the Democratic governor, Mark (Union Endorsed!) Dayton.

From Labor Union Report...

The state's largest public employees union is starting to prepare its nearly 20,000 employees for a government shutdown. "We are telling them they need to prepare for the possibility that they may go for some period of time without a paycheck," said Eliot Seide, executive director of AFSCME Council 5. The union gave Gov. Mark Dayton his first campaign endorsement. Seide said members are fully behind Dayton's tax increase proposal. He said he hopes the meltdown at the Capitol doesn't lead to a shutdown in July.

Seide said union workers will not be "pawns in a game to try to defeat the governor's proposals. Our people are too smart for that."

For public workers, the possibility of shutdown will become very real if there is no budget deal by June 8, when layoff notices would go out to employees.

The public employees union is also planning to rally at the Capitol on Monday night -- the last night of the regular legislative session -- to try to convince Republican lawmakers to get their job done. "We do our jobs. ... Now we are going to see if the legislators are going to get their jobs done," he said.

Their jobs, asshole, are to balance the state's budget in very hard times, and to represent ALL of the citizens of Minnesota, not just the loud, mouthy, 'Community Organized' Unionists who think they are better than 'average' citizens, so much so that they can DEMAND taxes be taken from other citizens so they can have their merit raises without interruption.

Lazy-Ass Unionist can't comprehend his own damned sign.

Again, let's see these public-sector unions broken, torn down. They've no 'evil CORPORATION!' to fight against; only their fellow citizens who are taxpayers, who don't deserve to be held up by threats from low-down union thugs.
