Michael Moore, "We have had it!"

Moore (interpreted): "We can no longer hold up state authorities to force more and more non-teachers' union workers to pay more and more money to support ridiculous state workers' pension plans."

Prager: We admire and respect the people who are represented in this.

Me: I'm not sure we should.

"Moore disputed the claims that Wisconsin is broke." That's the way of the radical left, I don't like what you're saying, therefore it's untrue and you are a vicious liar and destroyer. And you're evil, too.

Moore's answer is OF COURSE to take from the rich.

Prager asks how much the man gives away from his own stash. I know he gives a lot, but like all lefties, it goes to political causes, not to personal causes. I can't name the specific groups he contributes to (I'm sure it can be found on the internet) but it would be groups LIKE moveon.org, planned parenthood, greenpeace, or Amnesty International.

Prager read from the New York Times editorial page:

State Workers and NY's Fiscal Crisis

"At a time when public school students are being forced into ever more crowded classrooms, and poor families will lose state medical benefits, New York State is paying 10 times more for state employees’ pensions than it did just a decade ago."

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Of course we can start out with assuming that the number of state employees has quadrupled. I don't know the real number but I sure do have to make that assumption else I would go on rampage. Then there's a hidden fact, that they just meant that the state was contributing more as a percentage of the pensions because the pensions are suffering from recession-induced shortages. In other words, the state guaranteed the pensions so that the union didn't have to behave responsibly and fire managers who mismanaged funds.

The misery is chronicled further, and since it's the NYTimes doing the chronicling, it must be bad indeed.

Please read the article.

And Michael Moore?

How can he get up there in front of the crowd and chant "We have had it!" as if this is the last of a long string of indignities. What were the previous indignities, insults to the teachers' paychecks or pensions?
