Is removing collective bargaining rights for public workers needed to guarantee the LONG TERM solvency of WI?

Yes. If you are not in a union the liberals don't give a sh*t about you.

Your argument is that because public workers make more than private sector workers, they should not receive taxpayer funded pensions. Guess what...your argument is false. Both in WI and nationwide.

http://www.slge.org/vertical/Sites/%7BA2... "In Wisconsin, which has become a focal point in this debate, public servants already take a pretty hefty pay cut just for the opportunity to serve their communities (Keefe 2010). The figure below shows that when comparing the total compensation (which includes non-wage benefits such as health care and pensions) of workers with similar education, public-sector workers consistently make less than their private–sector peers. Workers with a bachelor’s degree or more—which constitute nearly 60% of the state and local workforce in Wisconsin—are compensated between $20,000 less (if they just have a bachelor’s degree) to over $82,000 a year less (if they have a professional degree, such as in law or medicine)."

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.
