California Public Employees Unions are shocked and saddened that the Assembly won't pass the massive tax increases necessary to maintain their lavish wages and pensions.
The relationship between Democratic leaders and some of their labor benefactors has turned particularly frosty: Many of the programs union members rely on for paychecks -- and the unions rely on for dues -- have been slated for deep cuts.The union leaders say they are appalled that Democratic leaders are talking openly now about decimating government programs without first making a stand for bigger, broader tax hikes that could substantially offset budget cuts.
"Democrats came to Sacramento to help people," said Marty Hittleman, president of the California Federation of Teachers. "I know they did not go there to destroy government. For some reason, they are unwilling to stand up and say 'This is not what I was elected for.' "
Yes! Yesss! Oh, let me taste your tears! Mm, your tears are so yummy and sweet! Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! My-yummy!Mm-yummy!

They just DON'T get it do they? Unions just are amazingly shortsighted and gut-smackingly greedy. It's called killing the Golden Goose. That's what they are doing.I feel no pity whatsoever for any hard time they have coming. I only feel bad for people who are forced to be in a union, but don't want to be.
Love your graphics!
