CT is getting fucked by union deals. These fucks have pentions they can get starting at 50 or some shit. When was the last time private sector had those?

Oklahoma collects close to the lowest tax revenue per capita

@Grenade123 I think if pensions matured when they were promised, then a lot would be better.

It would not surprise me if females and males had different brain structures.

I do not want any Unions in my state... period.

Exceptional... they are focusing the taxes on certain things.

@Grenade123 part of the problem is that the state gets to wait to be liable for pensions.

Making them expensive as hell instead of using broad taxing.

@Grenade123 it should come out of the current-year budget.

Taxing across the board in low percentages is better.

Public sector Unions should be illegal.

@Grenade123 They are fast becoming so.

erh, rather, forcible ones.

I favor luxury taxes personally

Mostly focused on Tobacco and Green Vehicles.

That is because you probably don't smoke.

@Dusty Morgan How will you pay for the roads without taxing non-users more?

But for the people who do smoke, it is hell...

wee popping in this discord channel for fun

unions often times can be good for workers-i just think of wrestling where they are treated as "independent contractors" Wrestlers in comparison since they have no union and thusly aren't compensated for the revenue they bring in anywhere close to what actors or athletes get

These Unions are paid with my money but yet I have no say? I can't fire the lazy fuck at the DMV, neither can my state, and they get paid with my money? No, fuck that.

and i have no clue to whats going in here

but hi everyone

Hello @MourningMoon Welcome

@Grenade123 Yeah, no public office should be required to allow workers to do union work on the public dollar.

@RomanReigns there is a difference between public and private sector unions

Unions charge workers automatically... then donate that money to political parties that workers are probably not for. If are a republican and get charged by Unions, they take the money and donate to liberal organizations.

honestly was just watching tims vids on youtube and saw he had a discord ch and decided to pop in and see whats goes on in here

Basically they take the money and use it against you.

seems like some more violence tonight going on

@RomanReigns in the public sector, the unions are outrageous. In many places the law requires the government to allow workers to do union work during work hours.

Hell Unions have been charging workers who are not even in Unions for crying out loud.

@RomanReigns In many cases, workers can not work for some government offices without paying the union.

Recently they had that practice struck down by Congress thankfully.

Unions donate overwhelmingly to liberal causes and Democrat organizations.

Any Republicans in Unions are misrepresented.

And overwhelmingly because they support legislation which further ingrains unions, and funnels money to their leadership.

Workers should be encouraged to negotiate as a group without the bureaucracy of a union.

in the case of teachers persay many republicans literally try and slash education budgets a teacher supporting state level gop would literally be like an oil exec who supports dems

Here in Canada, our public sector and pseudo-public-sector unions are incredibly abusive.
