If the Union Members are going to not support themselves then why should I continue to support them?

110. You have every right to express frustration at union workers that vote for Walker.

I am also amazed that they would do that. I do not know why so many working and middle class people vote against their own economic interests. I think it is because they do not take the time to understand the issues or they have preconceived biases about the two parties.

I admire your support of Unions, especially in view of the fact that your economic well being will not be harmed when they are threatened. You certainly have the right to ask the question why help people who will not help themselves. It is a legitimate question and it does not mean you will stop supporting the many because of a few misguided ones.

This forum is supposed to be a place where we can discuss democratic politics in a civil atmosphere. If we have a point of view that others disagree with, we should be able to discuss our differences in a reasonable way. Unless that view is outside our democratic principles. It was appropriate for you to mention that you are in the seven percent group as it related to the subject. Many posters mention their economic status as it relates to their post and if is related to the post, it is relevant for all income groups. It is not a crime to do well in life and still care about other people.
