It would be interesting if this whole Algeria, Egypt etc...thing is what will go down in history as the events that started the whole new world order/genocide of America/ Camp Fema ordeal of 2011.

Day Of Rage: Americans Finally Reacting To Economic Rape?
Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
February 17, 2011
Last month we speculated how long it would take for the scenes on the streets of Cairo to be repeated in America. After all, Americans are facing similar levels of economic rape to those that prompted Egyptians to rise up and overthrow 30 year dictator Hosni Mubarak.

The bill asks public sector workers to make a 5.8 percent pension contribution, roughly equal to the national average, along with a 12.6 percent health insurance contribution.

That's some pretty far reaching journalistic license going on there. It's Union people who are already paid far more than the private sector workers that pay the taxes to pay their wages. They want more candy and they want it now. Problem their State is flat broke.
We have had far, far worse than this little demonstration by overpaid people demanding more and that the State take more from other people to pay them.
The fear mongers are hard at work trying to cause trouble. The Nihilists, though they are few in number are pretending they represent the general population. Not even close.
One thing is for sure, they need some simple math lessons. When there is no more money, you can't give them any more money. Their demands are completely illiterate in fact. It's all political crap and the Union people are being played like a fiddle by the Progressives. They don't know they are being used to destroy the whole country for the interest of a few Globalists.

I'll bump that because it's happening in the great conservative wet dream of Texas as well.
That's right folks! We have no state income tax, are business friendly, and are a whopping $30 billion in debt! Our great governor, Rick Perry (10 years in office!! ha ha), lied through his teeth and said we were in great shape. After voting him back in........BAM----California sized deficit!!
Here's how deep the brainwashing goes in Texas. A colleague of mine at the University declared before the election that she knew Perry might cut our funding (and her job possibly), but she just couldn't bring herself to vote for a democrat!

This whole thing has nothing to do with unions or pay or equal rights or blaa blaa blaa. It has everything to do with making the middle class.........into the poor class!
Take away the unions powers and the union workers get shafted and become poorer and poorer until they are the same as everyone else.
Keep the unions with powers and they lay off thousands. those thousands become poorer! The rest are scared for their jobs and will work for less and not fight for rights due to being scared for their jobs! They become poorer.
either way TPTB win! They win by making the middle class poorer!
The only people that lose are the middle class, and the poor.
The poor lose because they see no point in even applying for a union job. They just become poorer.
Everyone gets poorer, except the corporations and government.
One boss gets 17 million a year. That's 300 times the wage of $60,000 a year per employee, if that's an average. Since when does anyone have to get 300 times the wage of someone else? That same boss is claiming that the company lost 100 million over 10 years. that's 10 million a year. Seems to me that if the bosses wage was 10 million a year less then his company would be in the Black! Hmmmm. If the boss took a wage cut, the company is doing fine and the workers could be fine the exact way they are!
The companies and government need to give their heads a shake! plain and simple.
So I think they should be RIOTING. The non-union workers should be RIOTING as well! not protesting like a bunch of wimps!
Stand up for your rights people! Don't let them take even ONE more step over that line! Push them back!

Im not rich, and im not supporting the TPTB, but abounch of people here are really pissing me off. You know why people are earning millions a year? because they worked their #ing asses off for that money. And they still work their asses off for that money. Why should they have to pay for you, with the money they earned? If i had that much money and people were grovelling at my feet for it, i wouldn't give it to them. I worked for it, I enjoy it the way i want. Why dont you go out and make that much money, instead of just sitting around and hoping you get it. Sure some people may have gotten their money in less then credible ways, and that shouldn't be allowed. But the people who worked their asses off for the money? they should be able to do what ever the # they want to do with it. and i am sure, if you had that money, you wouldn't want to give it out freely. So why dont you try thinking like the otherside for a minute, and get both perspectives for a change. I am not supporting co-orporations, or TPTB, but i am just telling some of you, that if you had that money, you wouldn't want to be throwing it around to people who didnt work as hard as you didedit on 18-2-2011 by thedeadwalkk because: (no reason given)
