SJC1000rr Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I'd be there, but I had to work and was at court.Worse case it goes through, with deal with it for a bit, then we over turn it in election on referendum.

Disclaimer Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Though, to be fair... as is also the case in Wisconsin...I wonder how many of them either didn't vote, or actually voted for Kasich? If there are any Republicans down there protesting that didn't vote or voted for Kasich, it's pretty hypocritical of them for being the party of market forces -- ala "it's ok for everyone else, but don't touch MY benefits."You get what you vote (or didn't vote) for.

Casper Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yea, but was that in 35 degree weather in the middle of a week day? How many of them called off sick to be there?Glenn Beck estimates that crowd to be about 30 people. And on the news tonight we're going to hear about "thousands" of protesters being there. The rest of the world is protesting for democracy, human rights, peace, etc. In America, they're protesting over personal benefits. I feel bigger issues would be oil dependency, a failing government, a failing economy, personal privacy issues (like the linked cameras in Ohio? TSA? Patriot Act?), the education system failing to compete on a global level, social programs running out of money (which I think should be terminated all together), a record setting debt owned by former/current enemies (China, Japan, Russia, etc), etc. The list goes on and on. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, these are issues which need to be addressed immediately. Unfortunately, the American mentality has become too "me! me! me!" instead of "what can I do for my country". /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Check out that rant -- Casper's angry at the world today! *rabble rabble rabble*Parents always have the option of enrolling their child in a private school or home-schooling them if they don't like all these snobby, upper-class public workers flaunting their Hyundais, their health care benefits, and other entitlements in the face of the people.http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-february-28-2011/crisis-in-dairyland---odor-in-the-capitol-building?xrs=share_copyI think the better question is -- "What can I pay you do to for my country?" Easy question when you're the one holding all the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Pics from the statehouse todayJust a thought, but with all these government employees NOT at their jobs today, I noticed no difference in government service at all! Is this proof that we have too many useless government employees or what? PS Good photos, now get back to work!

Casper Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 lol there is definitely more than "hundreds" of people there.I don't think so. When I was a rally there several years ago, there were around 2000 people there. That filled the lawn on three sides. They haven't even filled half of the front lawn.

Wow.. look at all those government employees that don't need to be at work in order for the government to function. I see a huge budget bump' date=' right before my eyes.[/quote']I need to work where you guys do, where they shut down completely when you're not there since you are the critical cornerstones of your enterprises.I'd probably get some extra days off if I knew you guys weren't coming in those days.

John Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 i like how you know the employment status of every single person there... where they work and if they called off today or not... where the fuck were you with the megamillions numbers last month?

buildit Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Well, since I'm unemployed I was busy online looking for work. The government website seemed as empty as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
