Probably the same reason we hear members of the US Right whine all the time about unions but never hear the Is 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. I think it is usually called partisanship.

But you liberals say that all subsidies need to be stopped. So why not with union dues?

If your statement is true, it is also true that hypocrite fits the US Right just as well on this issue. But then, such an attitude of hypocrisy is well known and practiced by the US Right.

Church members can deduct their tithes. So, should the government subsidize churches?

I consider unions a necessary evil to counterbalance corporate greed. The system works best when there is a balance of power between the two.

While in some instances unions are indeed necessary that does not explain why liberals are so silent when it comes to unions being subsidized by the government and so much of that money going into political campaigns.
