This Should Be Illegal – Unions Use Taxpayer Funded Payroll Systems to collect Money for Partisan Political Purposes

We need to challenge how and why it is permissible for unions to use taxpayer-funded public resources (payroll systems) to collect union Dues or other political donations directly from public union employee paychecks.

Unions use that money (tax-free–which means they are not even paying in to finance the system they use to get paid) to finance their entire operation.  That operation includes a lot of political speech, organizing political protests, paying for political signs, partisan candidate and PAC campaign donations, all manner of in-kind contributions, and other political activities like the wages of union employees who engage in any or all of the above.

Someone needs to file a lawsuit.  (You won’t get a bill passed in this climate–the hypocrats will block it.)

Start asking a lot of very public questions.  Find out why the Democrats’ partisan union political machine can feed itself through the use of taxpayer-funded payroll systems.

If it is not illegal, it should be.
