Members must realize if you stop paying your dues you will lose. Why else would your employer honor the rtw bill. Before you take this step think about what you may be giving up in the long run. Very little of your dues money goes to any dem candidate. YOu will never know how much your republican employer gives his party with money he could be paying the employee. Who will step up and demand better wages or benefits if you have no representation. Union is the way for a better life. Our carpenter union offers a 4 year apprenticeship and 2 year degree from Ivy Tech all paid for with union dues . This is a great opportunity for kids who cant afford schooling after high school. The same opportunity is there for any person,any age, either sex to provide a better living for their family. Pension, anuity, health insurance all for your dues. How is this a bad choice.
The FDIC is funded by assessments paid by banks, not taxpayers. That is not to say that bank customers don't ultimately pay the cost because, in the end, banks don't survive if they don't make profits.
SCB Bank's failure is expected to cost the government $33.9 million,dont you mean middle class another bailout our government has no money
Diogenes, the company did not call "pro-life" statements inflammatory. The IBJ article used the words "pro life."
All, the company did, is what it should do which is apologize profusely for offending people with a program that offered statements that support an infamous apartheid proponent, Dr. Verwoerd, suggest that sometimes rape is justified, and quote Biblical text to people, not looking for it.
If this is what you think is "insanity" then more companies need to behave insanely.
I totally disagree with $45mil being given to the state Attorney General's office. That money is a waste. All of the money should go to help the homeowners & the people who were foreclosed on. Why such a big percentage to state govt? They'll get to start another agency staffed with people who have new-found power & don't care about the people they serve. As soon as the program was announced, I knew the states would end up with a huge chunk of the money for themselves that would just be squandered. Or maybe Mitch Daniels will just happen to "find" another big chunk of money that was "posted in the wrong section of the state's books."
