The Taxpayer Needs to Win One

Re: The Left

“For many on the Left the real fear is that for the first times in their lives they would have to find a job in the private sector they so vilify. Therefore the real interest of these radicals [regarding Wisconsin] is not the so-called denial of the ‘right’ to collective bargaining but that by eliminating compulsory union dues … a major source of funding for their groups will be eliminated. … The Left, despite their protestations that they always have the best interests of the people at heart, have only their own interests at heart. It is their individual income stream and their massive egos which must be fed, and there is not enough private funding to do so. Therefore it must come from the public coffers whether directly from government programs or indirectly through compulsory public sector union dues. It has taken a national and various state financial crises to pull back the curtain so the American public can view the corruption and greed in the full light of day. The Left … will not go gently into that good night; but no longer will they operate with such impunity as their influence wanes and funds dry-up.” –columnist Steve McCann
