The Unions should pay taxes too. Right now most are tax exempt even on the multi-million dollar private resorts some own for their bigwigs.

which union owns a private resort? Please dont say its the International Brotherhood of Caribbean Beach Workers. Im sure they already have access to a resort and would be a bad example.

You dont think the middle class has carried the rest of the low lifes on there back? You are Crazy!
No no. I laughed because the part about the lower class needs to pay a fair share. Good luck with that.

And working upper class pay more than middle anyday.
ie.. doctors, lawyers, sbo's-- not so much the kids who inherit everything but the folks who work hard and make alot sure do.

tran, please tell me what "trevor fair share" would be. I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but the top 5% pay something like 80-90% of all the income tax paid. How much of a person's income should they be allowed to keep?

And what precentage of income is that?

I've got a couple of buddies in Tulsa that are union plumbers, they told me about their union buying a resort several years ago.
Then there's the United Auto Workers Union and apparently others...


[Check in to the luxury $187 million Westin Diplomat Hotel on the beach outside Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and you’ll be impressed by sumptuous, art deco features, hotel suites overlooking the ocean, flowing fountains, waterfalls in its infinity swimming pool, the plush green golf course and the top-notch restaurants.

It’s a place even Donald Trump might envy.

You might also be impressed that this opulent hotel is owned by a labor union, and is frequently used for union junkets, government documents show. As is the $15.4 million Hillcrest Golf Club in Saint Paul, Minn. As is the $33 million lakeside resort and golf club in Onaway, Mich., owned by the United Auto Workers Union, a resort now hemorrhaging millions of dollars at a time of auto bailouts and auto job losses....]
