#2 Poorest of the poor. Made $5.00 an hour. Charged me $86 a month to join. Job was temp and it really ruined my chances at having a good 18th birthday.
If I work for thugs at the store level, working for the Army should be a breeze!

#3 What if I look at it like this. If over the last 20 years more students had learned real-world and vo-tec skills during school they would know how to balance a checkbook, gauge whether a mortgage payment was within their means, understand the government structure, use tools, have a larger percentage of polyglots, and read at or above age level.

Instead we have this...which is less productive which means less revenue for everyone, maybe even less for the 4th generation of public union teachers who have failed to produce business savvy students but by state know how evil the white man is, 5 different pledges of alliegence including a special obama song, & math and science suck unless it is gore theory.

Quite honestly, when your rate of success is less than the winning percentage of the KC Royals, you are doing something wrong.

And for the record...lot of those guys wearing fire helmuts at the renaissance festival don't look like they could extinguish anything tougher than a hot dog stand. Guess what their job is..thats right, promote the union and making damn fine money doing so. Tax money. Public Money. Not just Republicans would gain, the only real losers would be those who collect forced dues because they are afraid of what would happen if dues were optional donations. They have ran the numbers and know getting larger chunks from fewer people is less revenue than small bits from everyone...wait what? The other big thing all unions are attempting is for the employer to pick up more health coverage costs or at least maintain current percentage (not cost, percentage, big difference). Its like they have run numbers and expect health costs and insurance to increase large and quick.
