Agree with all the comments regarding unions.

What really gets me is how most union members somehow feel they represent the middle class???

And what really infuriates me is how most union members somehow feel they’re “underpaid” when compared to their private sector counterparts…

[...] California legislators electing a union acolyte as their new Speaker of the House, the odds for reforms beneficial to small business are next to nil. And our legislators in [...]

You forget, John, you’re talking to an Obama Party member.

It’s not what you do, it’s what minority status you are. If you are not a minority, everything is your fault, and if you are a minority, nothing is.

Therefore, Perez can run the state’s economy completely into the ground (granted, it hasn’t far to go), impose ridiculous taxes to give gold-plated benefits and salary increases to lazy government workers, and still be hailed as a champion of the “working class”.

Union members claim to be “workers”, but honestly, the only thing unions support and endorse is being paid for NOT working.

Tano: Why does this man’s sexuality matter one bit if, unlike what you claim, he is going to continue to the same nonsense which has gotten California into the mess they find themselves in? “Champion of the middle class” my foot. Run businesses out of state, destroy jobs while hiking up the tax rate – NONE of this makes one a “champion of the middle class”, if anything it makes them their enemy!

and a champion of the working class!

A “champion of the working class” is one who’s a champion for enriching union bosses at the EXPENSE of the “working class”. All unions are good for is keeping the incompetent employed.

What a surprise — Tano supports and endorses the person who believes in massive tax increases to give already-overpaid and unproductive government workers salary and benefit increases.

That shouldn’t surprise anyone, given that Tano is paid illegally by the US government to propagandize for his Barack Obama and the Obama Party on websites. It’s just another example of how Barack Obama breaks the laws as he sees fit — particularly disgusting in this case, because Tano, as he has bragged, is paid by the Department of Health and Human Services. Literally, money is being taken away from disease prevention, health management, and providing care to those who genuinely can’t afford it so that pathetic Tano can propagandize and spread lies for his Barack Obama.

I salute Annise Parker, her fiscal position will be what matters in Houston. I’m sure she is very happy to go home to a loving partner – but that will have little effect on her constituents.
Perez on the other hand, will destroy some more CA businesses with union rules. but hey, he’s gay so those newly jobless people should be very happy at the turn of events.

CA’s employee unions are truly job-destroyers, having sucked the life out of CA’s economy. Thus, Perez is truly an enemy of the poor and an enemy of working people.

Cont.

Compare and contrast that with the post of certain Trolls Annoying with No Opinions of their own. They celebrate the one candidate’s sexuality first, then can’t say anything nice about the one they disagree with.

It is ironic,

Two elected represenatives, and while ‘we’ (meaning the small community of posters here on GP) accept that their sexual preference is a component of their personalities worth noting, our host’s primary concern is the agendas of the two individuals, not their choice of bedmates.

Defiantely a victory of the conservative value of judging someone by the content of their characters.

A gay man, and a champion of the working class! And a “very nice man” to boot. Fantastic news.
