For many years now there has been an unholy alliance between the Democrats and the public sector unions. The unions gave large sums of money to Democrats and voted them into office, and in return the Democrats gave the unions whatever they wanted in terms of wages, pensions and health care. But anything that is unsustainable will not continue forever, and now the states are broke and electing Republicans who vow to stop the financial bleeding. The teachers and other members of the public sector unions will have none of it. They care not that the state and the taxpayers are broke, they will not give up their ill gotten gains. I spoke to a union leader in Wisconsin a moment ago, and this is what he said:
I’m telling you we’ll hold the fort
We’re keeping what we did extort
From Democrats who looked to us for votes
Why should we kneel and give it back
To this elected Repub hack
He wants a fight and you can hold our coats
We know the State is broke and poor
We know bankruptcy is in store
We know taxpayers are all out of jobs
But we have earned what we have gained
And though you see me hurt and pained
We’re union and we’re better than those slobs
We’ll close the schools and fight no fires
We’ll bust your nose and slash your tires
We’ll do what all it takes to keep our stash
We don’t care that you’re in a hole
It’s Repubs out, that is our goal
The Dems will keep it coming, checks or cash
