Reply #14: wow are you in my shop? [View All]

You are spot on! My taxes also went up since we saved a few hundred on federal tax but my prop taxes and state taxes went up 700 bux to more than make up for it. Thank you for replying since it gives me hope I'm not the only union person who sees that the glory days of the dem party and the glory days of unions were the same period of time for a good reason. When the dems stopped supporting union people the party fell flat on its face and so did the unions. Its hard for people to worry about gay-rights or abortion-rights or minority-rights or any other rights when they can't even make enough at their job to participate in the American dream.

And contrary to popular opinion on this board, people do vote against their beliefs when they think it will help them feed their family. Many people in my shop are Rush addicts and voted dem anyway back when they felt the party was for them. Now that the dems are kissing corporate butt just like the repukes these people are voting on other issues and we have lost them in droves.
