Public sector unions

J'accuse!

“ The Governor wants to cap annual property tax increases at 2.5%, on the model of the successful cap that Massachusetts imposed in 1980. Over the next 27 years, property taxes in the Bay State rose 22% compared to 68% nationwide and 102% in New Jersey. The cap is crucial to preventing local Garden State school districts, which are dominated by teachers unions, from raising taxes and thus defeating whatever spending restraint Mr. Christie can impose on Trenton. The unions know this, which is why they've spent some $7 million in TV ads portraying Mr. Christie as the scourge of police, firefighters and children. ”

I think it's important to know the identities, so as to dishonor their memory in perpetuity, of America's  rat bastard politicians.   Reading  Chris Christie fights for a cap on property taxes caused me to wonder which RB to blame for allowing public sector workers to unionize in the first instance?  I mean, the idea of allowing inmates to run the asylum is so manifestly an insane circular error,  how did it happen?  Believe me, it's not easy to find the answer, but  Doug Ross knows.  We can thank a  mayor from NYC, Robert Wagner, for promulgating the initial outrage, and John F. Kennedy for taking his pass over the national goal line.  Come to think about it, aside from being the first good looking American president, this seems to be JFK's single, aside from being assassinated,  legacy.   And a very bad one.  To the pitchforks then!
