Regardless of what public union workers or their supporters claim to contribute, they actually do not contribute a dime. Their salaries are taxpayer funded. Taxpayers pay those benefits.
Think of it as a highway robber holding you up at gunpoint, demanding your wallet, and then claiming he funded his retirement with it.
The motivation of Governor Walker or any other governor, is not the issue here. Slavery is the issue, and forced union membership and forced collective bargaining are nothing more than slavery imposed via campaigns of extortion, bribery, and threats, for the benefit of the slave masters.
Somehow things are so twisted that slavery is now seen as a "right" even though collective bargaining and forced union membership robs businesses of their rights to hire, robs workers of their right to seek employment, and robs workers of their right to do what they want with their free time.
There is no excuse for slavery no matter how hard union apologists try, or how many red herrings they throw. To end this form of slavery, we need a set of national right-to-work laws, an end to collective bargaining by public unions, and an end to Davis-Bacon and all prevailing wage laws.
