Think about it: Taxpayers fund salaries for public school teachers, corrections officers, health workers, administrators, bureaucrats, and more. Taxpayers also fund the collection of union dues and pay even more for trainings, conferences, and professional certification classes. Then, the cash-rich unions make massive campaign donations. Now clout-heavy, the unions, with tens of thousands of dues paying members then go back to the very politicians that they helped elect to negotiate for more pay, perks, and pension benefits.
It’s a closed loop system of back-scratching on our dime
