March 17, 2011Taxes are too high for average Americans because large powerful corporations don’t pay taxes.
Nice job reporting on this, NPR.[/quote]
Ah yes, the good old Double Irish…

Participant[quote=paramount][quote=CA renter]BTW, can someone tells us again how the unions caused all our financial problems?[/quote]
Who said they caused ALL of our financial problems?
I would say no more than 90% of our financial problems were caused by the public employee unions in California.[/quote]
How do you arrive at your 90%?
How did you factor in tax breaks (including Prop 13 protection that subsidizes the profits of RE “investors”), or the added burden of an increasingly large illegal immigrant population? How did you factor in the housing bubble and subsequent burst? How about the investments that the pension funds lost so much money on (that had nothing to do with the unions, BTW)? Did you factor in the bond measures that voters have repeatedly voted for, many of whom don’t even grasp that these bonds represent DEBT (kid you not, I’ve had some Republican friends and relatives who thought that bonds “paid for themselves”)?
You think unions are responsible for 90% of our budget problems…seriously?

Back it up, paramount. Bring facts.
Or were you just ‘making shit up’?
I see some problems with public unions, what’s happened here in the City of San Diego is corrupt to the core.
But compared to getting gang-raped by the financial industry, the problems are minor. Do the math. As a matter of proportion, we have bigger problems than unions.
Right-wing populists, tea partiers, should be upset with wall street, banks and corporations. Instead they bitch to no end about liberals, unions and hollywood.
Entire generation of clueless idiots re-living Vietnam while corporations and robber barons plunder the country into oblivion.
