Davebarry109....... and why are we broke ???? Is it the fault of these hard working people? The answer is of course NO. The way I see it the problem we are into is because of a few MAIN reasons. First, politicians stealiing the money from the budget. Second, the non-accountability regarding early disability retirement. For example, the stories of the firemen or cops who are collecting on their pensions yet are at GOLD's gym pumping iron. That is just a slap in the tax payers face !! Third, the unprecidented recession we went through. Fourth, RI sucks. The economy sucks and half the population is collecting and not working! So many lazy, non-work ethic people in this state. That is why I side with the union workers because at least most of them are working ! The union employees have really been hit hard the past few years and I'm surprised they all aren't on stress leave ! No where else has the pay, and benefits been so quickly and drasticially effected in a negative way and the attacks continue !! I don't think people realize what they are doing when they are attacking the unions. It allows big business to win. Big business such as Walmart than can do what ever they want. Which means very negative things for their employees (working holidays, long hours without compensation, etc..) Mean while the CEO's continue to make their crazy salaries. I'm personally disgusted with how much money CEO's of companies make and they really don't deserve that type of income while their employees are struggling just to put food on the table. This really comes down to the continuation of the self=destruction of America. As you know things aren't getting any better, in fact it's getting worse. We are imploding as a nation due to a hoist of reasons but it all boils down to society, the aclu, democrats and republicans, and greed. Society is the worst I've ever seen it. Guys getting girls pregnant,than not sticking around, or the 50 percent divorce rate, broken families, lack of religion, living above their means, excessive alcohol and drug use, bad parenting...to name a few. The politicians are the worst I've ever seen. None of them can agree on anything and nothing is getting done except for spending our tax money on the lazy population that doesn't want to work. The ACLU is probably the worst organization that ever was created. It suppose to be for equal rights or something like that. All they have done is aided people who are anti-social, anti-religious, anti-everything. They defend the 51% not working in this state. Greed is the worst of all. Money is the root of all evils. Examples are the politicians, the CEO's, professional sport players, and the unemployed living off the system. But, MOST union working employees are just trying to make a living in this cruel world. The media has warped the image of the majority of union employees. A few bad apples who should have been dealt with swiftly that still have a job also doesn't help the image. As a tax payer I'm tired of hearing about the few bad apples down at the "City Yard". Those criminals need to be fired. I think there has been 2 or 3 that stole from the city that we know about, whether it be loam, tools, using city equipment etc.. Why do they still have a job ? There seems to be a problem with how things are being managed down there at the Warwick DPW for this to continue to occur. But, does that mean the employees down at the library should be grouped togeather? The obvious answer is no.
