Here is the other misconception. The unions dont care about anything other than money. Did you know that the union boss for the teachers union in wisconson makes $450k a year? That is outragous. Unfortunately the collective bargening must go as well because it is things like that that make the problems they are facing at the moment with a $3.8 billion deficit by 2013. The concept behind collective bargening is to give better than market wages and benefits. That just isnt right to make the tax payers give them better pay and benefits than they get in the private sector. Many states facing the same types of budget woes are also moving in the same direction against the unions because they are paracitic. Unions when they first began were probably pretty useful. But in this day and age they are for more money and power hungry than those who caused the creation in the first place. As far as I am concerned, unions have no business in any government what so ever. It is ok to have them in the private sector.
As for democracy dying, that happened the minute the democrats decided to run away just to stop a vote. The people of the state have even spoken out against the demonstrators on this matter and guess what? Those who are against the bill are in the minority. So democracy dying is truely being caused by those who fled not by the rest of the government.
