"Take Union pay without paying Union dues"
"The Union could not effectively fight for them any more"
The Union does not pay anyone. The employer does. If the Union is no longer 'effective' then it is probably due to most workers are satisfied with their conditions.
The Union should go dormant when the workers are satisfied with their work conditions. If not, it could run amok.
He cut $300,000,000.00 from education to give the wealthy a tax cut.
He's dead last in job creation in the midwest.
Yep, he's a Republican.
Scott Walker is straight out of the neocon GOP establishment.
That is about as insightful and deep as that AFL-CIO response that boiled down to "we don't like him, neener neener."
Then give us a list of ten positions that Scott Walker has that separate him from the GOP establishment.
Why?
Because you disputed what I said.
If unions are so awesome, right to work laws should have no impact.
.
You mean people wouldn't take benefits without paying for them?
Hey, guy, how about just taking whatever business you have, and saying, "Pay me what you think is fair!" Betcha a lot of guys just walk off with your shit.
Same deal with "Right to Work". People would take union wages without paying their dues, until the Union can't really effectively fight for them anymore.
Now, I think there are criticisms that can be made
And Public sector unions are a disaster because there is no limiting control on how much money is given away to the union. In the private sector the unions know they can only push so far before the business becomes unprofitable. With public sector unions the "bosses" depend on the workers to keep them in office, and they both think they can just raid the taxpayer piggy bank whenever they see fit.
Sure there's a limit. It's called "an Election".
What worries you is that the PUblic Service Unions will make the rich pay their fair share to make sure stuff is paid for.
As I said on my longer essay, the thing is, Public Service Unions are not making obscene amounts of money. They are making a fair, living wage. It's what EVERYONE should make. they just have the political power to make that happen.
You completely misunderstand the First Amendment. No shock there.There's no such thing as "separation of church and state." It is nowhere in any founding document.Scott Walker Says His Presidential Bid Is 'God's Plan' - See more at: Scott Walker Says His Presidential Bid Is God s Plan Right Wing Watch
Not real big on the separation of church and state.......
“My relationship with God drives every major decision in my life,” starts the note, which is clearly designed to appeal to Religious Right voters who make up a major part of the GOP base vote, particularly in the early primary states Iowa and South Carolina.
The letter goes on to talk about Walker’s faith as “the guiding force of my life in both politics and in private” and promotes opposition to reproductive choice and marriage equality. “A lifelong supporter of the pro-life movement, my work defending the unborn goes back to my college days where I was a leader of Marquette Students for Life,” he writes, bragging about signing into law new restrictions on access to abortion and pledging to do the same as president. He calls the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision a “grave mistake” and calls for a constitutional amendment to overturn it. And he pledges to nominate Supreme Court justices who share his approach to the Constitution. - See more at: Scott Walker Says His Presidential Bid Is God s Plan Right Wing Watch
It is always funny to hear the lefty statists talk about separation of church and state, considering it comes from the one Founder who they hate the most, Jefferson.....and of course it comes from a personal letter, and like you pointed out, nothing from our official founding documents.
We all know that the words separation of church and state do not appear in the constitution. But maybe you can tell us- if it does not mean that the government may not show favoritism towards a particular religion and allow it to influence law and public policy, what does it mean? Religious freedom is a two way street. You and I cannot have religious freedom unless we are also free of the religious influences of others, and that includes the Imposition of religious values by the hand of government. The founders understood that regardless of their personal beliefs. JFK Understood that. These ass hat Republicans today do not. Consider this:

The Christian Right Does Not Want You to Know About This Day http://www.politicalresearch.org/2014/12/08/the-christian-right-does-not-want-you-to-know-about-this-day/
The Christian Right has made religious freedom the ideological phalanx of its current campaigns in the culture wars. Religious freedom is now invoked as a way of seeking to derail access to reproductive health services as well as equality for LGBTQ people, most prominently regarding marriage equality.
But history provides little comfort for the theocratic visions of the Christian Right. And that is where our story begins.
For all of the shouting about religious liberty — from the landmark Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case, to the passage of the anti-gay Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Mississippi, and more — there is barely any mention, let alone any observance, of the official national Religious Freedom Day, enacted by Congress in 1992 and recognized every January 16 by an annual presidential proclamation.
The day commemorates the enactment of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1786.
The bill, authored by Thomas Jefferson and later pushed through the state legislature by then member of the House of Delegates, James Madison, is regarded as the root of how the framers of the Constitution approached matters of religion and government, and it was as revolutionary as the era in which it was written. It not only disestablished the Anglican Church as the official state church, but it provided that no one can be compelled to attend any religious institution or to underwrite it with taxes; that individuals are free to believe as they will and that this “shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.” As a practical matter, this meant that what we believe or don’t believe is not the concern of government and that we are all equal as citizens. - See more at: The Christian Right Does Not Want You to Know About This Day Political Research Associates

Scott Walker Meet the Conservative Everyman - Breitbart
In a Monday campaign video, Walker said he stands out as a conservative leader who won three elections in four years in a blue state without sacrificing his conservative principles.
“In the Republican field, there are some who are good fighters, but they haven’t won those battles,” said Walker. “And there are others who’ve won elections, but haven’t consistently taken on the big fights. We showed you we can do both.”
Walker added, “We did it by leading. Now, we need to do the same thing for America.”
Walker’s humble, middle-class roots have helped propel him to broad support as a sort of “everyman” ordinary Americans can connect with. A passionate communicator, Walker’s record of turning Wisconsin’s $3.6 billion deficit into a surplus—all while cutting taxes by $2 billion—has found favor with fiscal conservatives. Social conservatives, on the other hand, have been encouraged by Walker’s defunding of Planned Parenthood and enactment of pro-life legislation. The combination, say Walker supporters, is precisely what the Republican Party needs to unite the party and defeat Democrats.
“If our conservative reforms can work in a blue state like Wisconsin, they can work anywhere in America,” said Walker on Monday in a statement titled, “Why I’m running for President.”

The 1A does two things: It prevents government from establishing an official religion, like Anglicanism. Along with that it forbids religious tests for office.
It guarantees free exercise of religion among its citizens.
Since our entire legal apparatus is based on Western Culture, which is heavily influenced by Christianity, it is inane to talk about taking religion out of public life. Question: How many times does the 10 Commandments appear in the Supreme Court?
