The Circle of Corruption

The Circle of Corruption

  

 

If You Can`t Figure This Out, Then You Are Part of the PROBLEM.

 

When private unions negotiate with private companies, there are two opposing ideas at the bargaining table. 

Both want to protect their individual interests.  The company wants to keep the money it earned and the union

wants a bigger share of that earned money.

 

When public unions negotiate with their congressmen, there is no negotiation.  There is an agreement that

whatever the congressman gives to the union, the union will give it back to support the re-election of that

congressman.  There is no negotiation because they are using O.P.M., other people’s money, the public tax

collections.

 

USActionNews reports the best government that money can buy.  The top 20 public sector union-paid politicians.

 

They have put together the following list of the 20 legislators who have received the most funds from public-sector

unions.   Now you see why unions which make up only 12% of the work force get 100% of the favors from Democrats.

I’ll let you do the math but as you can see your supposed representatives in Congress are bought

and paid for by unions. I’ll bet if you sit down and check, the legislators with the most union

contributions are from the most bankrupt states. This is ‘progressive’ government at its finest.
