The Polls close in Wisconsin

Now the polls have closed in Wisconsin's recall vote.  Everyone is in uproar over the elimination of collective bargaining rights with most state employees.  This caused a huge uproar with union workers, and I have to say it's not due to the rights being lost.  The upset from democrats and the union are due to the fact that union dues will crash.

Initially the concept of unions appealed to people and gave some rights to people to try to request more money and benefits for their work.  Though it is a free country it should be completely voluntary to join a union and not have to pay dues just because you work for a company.  The appalling push back about a manufacturing plant being moved to South Carolina shows how insane these union have become.  They are no longer representing the workers instead they focus on their income.  It disgust me that people don't see this.

I have met numerous union workers and most always say "I don't see the union doing anything for me."  They in turn force companies into bankruptcy by requesting insane benefits that most people haven't worked hard enough for.  There used to be a pride in working for a start up and assisting with the success and growth of an idea.

Everyone says they want American made products, but with unions forcing insane wages and our societies lust for having cheap products that is impossible.  There used to be an understanding of value.  I may more for this product today, but it will last far longer and I won't have to buy 20 of the cheap products to last the same time frame.  People need to wake up the hyper inflation that is coming towards us and realize they can make more, but in order for everyone to make $50 an hour they have to print more money.  To me that is common sense, but I think society has lost all common sense.

What are your thoughts on this vote?
