I hope the union members remember their leadership’s support of the Blank Check Amendment when their taxes go up

Has there ever been a union that has not endorsed a tax hike? More government spending is more revenue for union members and more revenues for unions. This is why their attempt at altruism falls flat.

He didn’t have to promise them anything! They know that in order to keep the gravy train rolling that Springfield needs to have a mechanism to raise taxes to pay for their lavish compensation and benefit packages!
