A New Tax To Generate Government Funding

From the Green Bay Press. What are engineers doing here, do they know how bad this economy is?
"Engineers union files suit against state for layoffs
Workers claim they are entitled to unemployment pay
By SCOTT BAUER • The Associated Press • November 19, 2009

MADISON — A state union bargaining unit representing about 1,100 engineers filed a lawsuit against the state Tuesday seeking to stop temporary layoffs.

The union argued in the lawsuit, filed in Dane County Circuit Court, that the state purposefully structured the layoffs so it could recoup unemployment compensation benefits the engineers claim they are entitled to receive."

First I will say I hate any taxes increased for anyone but maybe we should make an exception. We need Washington and Madison to vote for a special tax increase. Maybe the candidates in the 8th race should take notice. I am sick and tired of union members bitching and complaining about what most Americans are going through every day in this bad economy. Here's a specific plan to fund government.
*

I propose a sliding scale of a 3 to 8% tax on all WEAC, state and federal union only employees. The unions keep bitching their members are getting screwed by lay offs, furloughs, etc, etc.. So take this.
*

I propose a 3% tax on all WEAC, federal and state union employees in their first 10 years of employment with DC, Madison and local school districts.

*

I propose a 5% tax on all WEAC, federal and state union employees working 11 - 20 years of employment with DC, Madison and local school districts.
*

I propose a 8% tax on all WEAC, federal and state union employees working 21 - 30 years of employment with DC, Madison and local school districts. After 31 years of employment tax would be rescinded.
*

Most WEAC, state and federal union employees retire at at 55 so a 5% tax would be collected on anyone's pensions and retirement accounts if they decide to retire before age 65, soon to 70. If they work to 70, no tax would be collected.

*

Since they already pay union dues they shouldn't complain. Their dues get spent on democrat politicians so if a little extra is taken out of their checks, government could spend it on health care, new roads and ice salt for winter roads. That sounds fair.
*
Let's call it "SUM Tax. "Screw Union Members" tax.
*
I am sick and tired of teachers, state and federal workers who can't even take a pay freeze or a reduction in their contract wage increases in this bad economy. Here in Pulaski Wis. the school superintendent didn't push for a wage freeze and the teachers union wouldn't volunteer one. All they can do is raise the tax levy. Union members sit and complain when they get a 3% pay increase when they really wanted 5. They sit and bitch when they have to take furloughs but could of taken a couple weeks at 34, 35 or 38 hours in a couple of reduced work weeks.
*
BITCH,BITCH,BITCH,BITCH,BITCH, I think a lot of Americans are getting fed up with them. Let's all work together for "Hope and Change."


Anyone back a "SUM" tax?
