  1. what word in the "right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances" do you need assistance with? I'm sure some people here would like to see teachers protest only on weekends and holidays. Fallow along (both of you), demonstrating without arrest is a first amendment right...Sick-Out is lying to your employer in order to shut the system down (creating leverage).
  2. Lunch is a first amendment right! more like a 9th amendment right that required 1st amendment rights (organization, speech, and protest) be employed in order to realize Which amendment covers a "sick-out"?
  3. True but I get to pick who and what I vote for and I rarely vote yes for bond measures. Since I get a firsthand view of whats getting taught to our/my kids I think we're all in trouble. Its good to know that you think our public education is something worth bragging about, let alone paying more for.
  4. You clearly know fuckall about manufacturing.
  5. So you don't know. Compelling accusation you haven't made. 99.999% of mostly rural counties are subsidized by folks from the big city so it isn't a stretch to strongly suspect you belong to that list. we already know that you like to pay as little as you can for labor irrespective of whether it constitutes a living wage. As long as less comes out of your pocket you couldn't give a shit about anybody else. Portland City taxes don't pay for Deschutes county roads. If you mean this county pays less than larger counties pay for Interstate Highways then you'd be right since there aren't any interstate highways in this county. I don't know what the split is for standard highways as far as state matched funds, I'd be interested in seeing some hard numbers since taking your word for it isn't good enough. I'd be happy to pay more if it improved the service, as it stands paying more to union state employees doesn't equal higher service.
  6. Oh yeah, almost forgot...I'd like to see your data for this. Private schools don't make a habit of posting their compensation statistics. Until then, you're talking out your ass, again, moron. Feel free to ask Ivan.
  7. You realize Oregon isn't a city in Wisconsin, don't you j_b?
  8. Its in my profile, dumbass. So your services and infrastructure are most probably being subsidized. And here you are trying to deny public workers a fair wage when they already get paid less than private sector workers. What an hypocritical blowhard you make. So you don't know. Compelling accusation you haven't made. Oh yeah, almost forgot...private sector teachers make less than public school teachers. I guess you fucked that up too. SHOCKING!
  9. Well I pay the taxes so that doesn't exactly make me a leech now does it? tell me where you live and if it's in a rural area, you are likely being subsidized. Its in my profile, dumbass.
  10. until they need to pool their resources with the community, hypocrites. How does Nitrox drive to his compound? On roads he paid for by himself, perhaps? sheesh. There's a difference between paying state employees and over paying state employees because they hold power over the local or state government. You're stuck trying to exaggerate my position because you know I'm right.
  11. The ability to strong arm the state for medical and pension contributions is now a first amendment right? Ummmm, riiiiiiiiiight. Being on the wrong end of a negotiation is a bit like being banned, no? NO FAIR!!!! Bottom line is that state employees negotiated and won very reasonable compensation. Only a cube-zealot would characterize it as 'strong arming'. Now workers have resorted to strike and protest in a reasonable response to an attack on the union's very existence (a silenced union is one in name only). STRONG ARMING!!!! 'Persecution' is the first propaganda tool a Tightie reaches for. Nobody whines like a bully getting a much begged for slaparound. Isn't the union claiming they are being unfairly targeted (persecuted) by the evil Republicans? In this case the employees didn't strike, they all called in sick and violated the terms of their employment.
  12. Strange, I'm middle class and every time the local government employees get a raise I have to pay for it. There was a school district budgetary shortfall two years ago (they claimed a book keeping error) and my property taxes went up significantly. Neither represent my interests. nothing is keeping you from moving to Somalia where you won't pay taxes and won't be able to leech your way off taxpayer funded services and infrastructure. Well I pay the taxes so that doesn't exactly make me a leech now does it?

  15. Well, a Union can deliver a hell of a lot more votes than any millionaire per dollar spent.
  16. I didn't say they were stupid, just not in the best interest of the country. They are donating just like the evil Koch brothers that j_b rails against daily.
  17. Would you at least make this a challenge, j_b?
