Divide and Conquer. Textbook example, cop pension.

Know who these people are and what they are talking about?








To get non government employees to be angry about the wages and pensions of government employees. They call it divide and conquer, and in this video or the longer version SCOTT WALKER himself says that is what they are going to do.

That woman has THREE BILLION in her bank account, not exaggerating , and what keeps her awake at night is a school teacher getting a pension that she doesnt want the school teacher to get.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

So please stop with the anti pension talk, OK!

Seems like Republicans are doing a pretty good job of it by themselves.

Specifically, a teacher, a school principle and a police officer. Each of them owe their jobs and retirement to organized labor. However, each of them decided they had discovered the cure for what ails us after they retired. I joke...they are a**holes and it sucks, because they are commonplace nowadays..
In the case of the police officer, his job (detective) was actually going to be downgraded due to county budget cuts, but the union intervened and he was grandfathered in. Yet, he never paid a nickel of union dues and still supports Trump. Sadly, this is my brother. The others are in-laws.

For visibility.

I’ll delete my post on that other thread, too. It’s true, but it’s really just gossip that serves to hurt organized Labor. Veracity doesn’t change reality for the 99.99% of honest government workers.
