Pubic Unions Are Screwing You Twice (At Least)

Maybe you have not thought too much about it but public sector unions are funded on the backs of taxpayers and those unions use your money to elect tax and spenders who grow government and expand union payrolls to defend their incumbancy.

It's a simple process.  You work and the government taxes you.  Those taxes go to pay for public services and the salaries of public employees.  The public employees pay their taxes or fees to the state and federal government from your tax dollars.  If they are in a union their union dues come out of the same paycheck--which if you recall is your money.  Government cannot pay anyone until they first take your earnings from you. 

So you, the taxpayer, pay public sector union dues.  These dues you paid for, pay union officials to represent the "interests" of public sector union employees in contract negotiations and labor disputes against your government at every level including state, and  local; you the tax payer are paying for both sides.

Union officials and union employees also use your tax dollars to support candidates (in personal or union political contributions) who grow government and spending (increasing your tax load) and adding hundreds, perhaps thousands more state or federal employees, who will then collect salaries at your expense while using a portion of that money to pay their taxes and their dues.  This provides even more money to the unions to squeeze you out of more tax dollars at every level of government, to support more tx and spend candidates, who will try to grow more government at your additional expense and on, and on, and on.

Why public sector unions are even legal is a question we should seriously consider.
