If public sector unions can collectively bargain & get contracts, why can't taxpayers get these same rights?

Democratic politicians are elected by the tax payers so the answer is simple. You should ask the same question of Republican politicians talking out a corporate contract on some new military weapons system.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
