Reply to "SOUR GRAPES AND RETALIATION IN MONTGOMERY!!!!"

Since this was never clearly explained, I looked further. I am guessing that Wondering is upset about the piece of legislation that prevents the AEA from automatically deducting dues from employee paychecks. As the AEA is a lobbying organization, I have no problem with any law that prevents them from having any automatic access to taxpayer money. If people still wish to fund the AEA, they should be free to do so.

What I found funny was this part of the original post:

Many of those people I have mentioned have incomes that are FAR below the poverty level!! .....

Please know this is nothing more than MORE government control of all our lives! It will NOT stop here! This is ONLY the beginning!!!


I don't have any detailed info on the payroll of these people, but I'm 99.9% certain they aren't below the poverty level. If they are, all the more reason to support the legislation. If I was earning below the poverty level, I certainly wouldn't want additional items deducted from my paycheck. Not only that, but I sure wouldn't want union dues sent to a union that was so ineffective that they couldn't bargain my pay above the poverty level.

This is not more government control either. I know of no prohibition on funding these groups.
