This union circus in Ohio involves 300,000 people.  That's the total public union membership, just 300,000 out of 11,500,000.  The union leadership dishonestly attacked taxpayers, fooling 'moderate' voters into thinking they were protecting policemen and firefighters.  Policemen and firefighters were the foundation of this union smear campaign against taxpayers.  The Ohio Education Association took an extra $54 from every member (average salary $95,000 in 2011 - no joke) to fund the smear campaign, dumping more than $5.8 million into “We Are Ohio.”  “We Are Ohio” claimed Issue 2 would mean fewer firefighters, policemen and nurses, leaving houses to burn and old people to die.  This effort to limit public union power was presented as an attack on Ohio’s middle class.  This 300,000 person aristocracy paints themselves as victims and taxpayers as villains. To support this aristocracy taxes are going up and thousands of young public workers will loose their jobs including young teachers, firefighters, and police who are going to be laid off because public sector unions are all about seniority, having nothing to do with competency or effectiveness.  Services are going to be cut.  Employers are going to flee Ohio.  After this vote in Ohio, America is in big, big trouble.  The far-Left used this play-book in the 1950's, 1960's and the 1970's to increase their power yet the elected republican political leadership in Ohio did not know this progressive attack narrative was coming.  People need to wake up and study these progressive narratives.  You cannot defeat what you don't understand.  If you are an elected republican or work for someone in public office, please read Saul Alinsky's book Rules for Radicals.  Democrats still can not understand that average Americans do not want an 'American Aristocracy' ruling over them from Washington.  Here's why:The far-Left created a tight political narrative around injustice created by capitalism and global corporations.  What the far-Left does not yet understand is that the far-Left "injustice" narrative applies perfectly to the current far-left big government project.  Bottom-line: The far-Left is all about power.  Stripped of its narrative myth, every progressive government is an armed minority occupying territory and subjugating its population.  But an armed minority does not just sic the police on its middle-class citizens.  It must reward its supporters. That's why government spending has gone from 7 percent of GDP to 45 percent in a century.  The American people are finally starting to understand the far-Left's true agenda.  It's the RINOs in Ohio who don't have a clue.  Current Democrats believe that collective obligations trump individual liberty.  The far-Left wants raw power over the lives of average Americans.
