The vast majority of the “middle class” is not in a union. They work hard and many of them make less money than union workers and have no defined pension awaiting them. I have a daughter who is a social worker for a non-profit. She loves what she does. She doesn’t make a lot of money. No one is getting rich at the non-profit. Management are very middle class. How can you ask my daughter to pay confiscatory taxes to support people who retire 10 years earlier than she will and will get a pension higher than her salary? If you really cared about the middle class, you’d care about ALL the middle class, not just the minority in unions.

I’m a scientist and a product of public education! Here’s what’s happening in public education: http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2012/10/bay_city_teachers_union_gave_4.html

The article says: “The Bay City Public Schools teachers contract would allow teachers to come to school under the influence of alcohol five times before being fired, three strikes under the influence of drugs and two if teachers are caught selling drugs. The language has been in the contract since 1997.”

Now, I ask you honestly…does the union have the best interest of children in mind when they insist that drunk and drug-dealing teachers remain in the classroom? Why do you support this?

I don’t trash “working people”. I’M a “working people” BTW. I point out that climate profiteers like you want “skyrocketing” utility rates and $9 a gallon “European level” gasoline prices. That would really hurt the middle class and the poor. It would do NOTHING to budge global temperature. I’m on the side of the middle class, not you!

I’m trying to protect children. The union is trying to protect drunk and drug-dealing teachers: http://www.mlive.com/news/bay-city/index.ssf/2012/10/bay_city_teachers_union_gave_4.html

From the M-Live article:

“The Bay City Public Schools teachers contract would allow teachers to come to school under the influence of alcohol five times before being fired, three strikes under the influence of drugs and two if teachers are caught selling drugs. The language has been in the contract since 1997.”

Rolling Stone…now there’s a leading scientific journal! LOL!!

First I’m also ignoring Armadillos and Persian Rugs! Television meteorologists give weather forecasts. We don’t shill for climate profiteers!

Even the most rabid of climate alarmists has been forced to admit that global temperatures are not rising: “The five-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade…” – James Hansen et al.

I still think it might be to early to say anything yet, so I will wait until early to late afternoon to comment. But if this storm comes in the way the Euro is saying parts of West Michigan could be in for some major snow accumulations….

A shift of about 50 miles more southward and we are golden.
Team Euro!
