Going off on a tangent.
Hey guys Im gonna take a little break from the 90's and touch on some issues of the day. I'd like to start of with the protest in Wisconsin. Now I'v been following the events there since the start and I kinda just want to go on a little rant if I may. Seeing as its my blog I think that is allowed. Background on my family almost everyone is in the public sector for work and trust me none of them have gotten rich doing it. On my moms side her family has been life long Democrats/DFLers, six aunts and uncles are teachers, one cousin and my grandma they all belong to unions and my dad is a member of AFL-CIO lastly my mother is a member of a different union the name of which escapes me. Any who there has been a attack on unions saying they keep pay higher then it is in the private sector what most don't look at is the level of eduction those in the public sector have. A person with a 4 year degree in the private sector makes more then a person in the public. Ask most people who work in the public sector they don't do it for the money they have a sense of pride and duty they do it for there city, state, and country. As i'v said before they don't get rich they make a wage that allows them and there family to enjoy a nice middle class type of life style. Today on the huffington post and yes I know it has a liberal bias but its one of ten sources I use for news in a typical day. What can I say I liked to be informed hell I even go on foxnews if only to read comments on there articles try it sometime it is really entertaining. Any who getting back to the my thought they had a clip of the daily show that really exposes the B.S around what union members in Wisconsin make starting with a fox news report saying a teacher who makes $50,000 a year is overpaid but they then go into a montage of fownews contributers ranting on how people who make $250,000 a year are not rich and are barely scraping by one even saying that a family of four sending kids to collage are basically poor tell that to my parents who combine income of $110,000 are helping me and my sister get thru collage.
