Public sector unions are both counter productive and damaging, just take a look at the situation Illinois is in. That's due to the fact that their public sector unions are entitled to massive pensions the state government can't pay. Public sector employees should be banned from joining unions. The easiest way to do that is to privatize their jobs to the lowest bidder.
Btw its gonna be 8 years, cupcake.

I say we make the richest pay more because they have unfairly taken most of the wage growth since the recession instead of deconstructing unions and stripping more middle class workers of retirement benefits.

What makes anybody entitled to other people's money? I'm not for privatization of ATC but there is a credible argument to be made against public sector unions. That can be taken care of without privatizing something that is inherently governmental.

Wealth is not part of a limited pie just because someone makes more money that doesn't mean someone else can't make more. Wealth is created.
Taxation is the reason why the middle-class is in ruin. Not just income tax but property taxes which are used to pay for the insane pensions of government workers.
Taxation is theft.

Also included in the bill...
One contentious issue is training requirements for pilots, and whether certain simulated training hours can be counted.
Thune said that two-thirds of U.S. airports are only served by regional carriers and that there is a "crisis" in trying to attract pilots, while Democrats said the revised rules could lead to unqualified pilots.

In 2014, people with adjusted gross income, or AGI, above $250,000 paid just over half (51.6%) of all individual income taxes, though they accounted for only 2.7% of all returns filed, according to our analysis of preliminary IRS data. Their average tax rate (total taxes paid divided by cumulative AGI) was 25.7%. By contrast, people with incomes of less than $50,000 accounted for 62.3% of all individual returns filed, but they paid just 5.7% of total taxes. Their average tax rate was 4.3%.
Darn those pesky facts... seems we already do!

Mitt Romney was right with his 47% comment. Should make it so only tax payers can vote.
