Union dues belong to the union. The Teacher's Unions belong to the Democrat Party because that is who the Teacher's Unions and Government worker unions give their money to. Government unions support Democrats.
You don't know this?
Ren; I am sure you miss the point... Unless people individually donate part of their money to a union pac, it cannot be used... And the marriage between the democrat party and the unions is clearly one of inconvenience... The democrats are the party of everyone else... It is not made up only of union members, but of many minority groups... The republicans are much more unitary in their membership, representing the white middle class to rich of any color.... The democrats attract money like **** attracts flies, but only when they are elected... No matter what the democrats say they do little different from the republicans only because of the influence of money in politics....Incombants are a safe bet, and the capitalists, when they are not feeding money to both sides like to bet on a sure thing... Whether the tea party knows it or not, there is an element of revolution in their talk... They want to tear down the government as it stands, starve it of revenue, and deny to government its proper and well stated role... If they can so easily keep government powerless, and prevent it from serving the whole people (which it never really has done) then why should anyone support government and follow laws??? Let it fall.. It needs more than money... It needs the support of the people, and more than half the support of half of the people... Well we don't like it any more than you, but the intelligent people like the idea of government as much as they don't like the idea of a whole bunch of idiots running around with guns settling all with their own sense of justice... I am inclined to settle for the people with guns rather than a police state only because I am more inclined to trust people as the more intelligent have more sense than to do...
It is all fine really, but what we see is the power of demagogues over the uneducated and unenlightened, who are the very sort that raised Hitler to power... The respect for the right, say, for union members individually supporting candidates through pacs is non existent... But just let some dictator whip it out, and they will slobber all over it... They want to be told what to do just as they want to tell everyone else what to do... They do not realize the implications, or the consequences of such authoritarian desires... The germans did not march into dictatorship and world war... They took a whole lot of baby steps in that direction till they were at the brink, and then it was too late... The tea party is a party of American Nazis... They haven't got the balls to admit it, but hate is their common bond...
