Now, Look at Who Wants Higher Taxes

Grandpa was reading the newspaper when he began chuckling and said,

"So unions are the vanguards of the workers rights and the sole protector of the exploitation of the worker from the greed of the employer, huh?"  Well, from this article it sounds as if unions believe that the taxpayers are the greedy ones now.  Or are they just showing their true greedy selves now?"

"You tell me, boy" as he handed me the section of the opinion pages. I began reading what he showed me.

"New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show that a majority of American union members now work for the government. The pattern of unions adding members in government while losing members in the private sector accelerated during the recession. The typical union member now works in the Post Office, not on the assembly line.

Representing government employees has changed the union movement's priorities: Unions now campaign for higher taxes on Americans to fund more government spending. Congress should resist government employee unions' self-interested calls to raise taxes on workers in the private sector."
