Check your income tax forums. See if you can make a deduction of union dues.

I guess by that twisted logic the taxpayers subsidize all Professional organizations to which we pay dues as well as non profit organizations to which we make donations since those funds are also deductible.

No twist of logic needed. Unions are made up of members who get to deduct their union dues. Some of which are used for political purposes. Yet not one liberal has complained about it. Hmmmm....

Nor do I hear the right complaining about taxpayers subsidizing Professional organizations to which members pay dues as well as non profit organizations to which people make donations some of whom use the funds for political purposes.

BTW, if one opposes unions using dues for political purposes, get the Citizens decision reversed or overridden.

But we hear liberals whine all the time but not about Unions being subsidized by the government. Why not?
