#2 It doesn't seem the State should be bag men for the unions. IMO that when public unions infested the government,the people ended up losing. The lefties ended up getting more votes in the "D" column.

#3 Automatic payroll deductions are nothing more than money laundering of Democrat campaign contributions. AKA kick-backs.

#4 This is going to happen fairly quickly across thte red states, I think, be fought over in the purple states, and utterly ignored in the blue states, were they believe in coercion.

#5 Do the same with State and Federal taxes (so people see with their own eyes the money going out of their pocket) and see what happens.

#6 I'd love to see the Fed INcom Tax done this way. It would open people's eyes to the truth of their "refund"

#7 Pragmatically, "Right to Work" is now all-but-dead or obsolete - in this Age of US-led Anti-US OWG Globalism + NAU + Marxist-Socialist US-World Govt-Order, any workplace must now be WHOLLY UNIONIZED, OR WHOLLY NOT UNIONIZED.

Again, the "American Dream" of the 20th Century is now the "NORTH AMERICAN DREAM", wid Mexico + Canada + Greenland all having a FORMAL/OFFICIAL SHARE IN MAINSTREAM AMERIKA'S SUCCESS OR PROSPERITY, OR IN THE ALTERN ITS LACK OF SAME.

E.g. TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > GOOGLE EXECUTIVE CALLS FOR INCREASE IN SKILLED [Foreign] WORKER VISAS TO THE US.

* POST-2015 OWG NORTH AMERICAN UNION = ULTIMAT TO BE MULTI-NATIONAL, POST/EXTRA-SOVEREIGN REGIONAL SINGLE GOVT = WHY WASHINGTON'S PUSH FOR SOCIALIST FED-LED INTERVENTION EVERYWHERE, AGZ ANYONE + EVERYONE.

There may no longer be any "middle ground" as per Individual or Personal "Right to Work", as the latter concept will be hard-pressed just to stay relevant in coming years or decades.

#8 SNAFU = FUBAR = iff our mighty Anti-Unitarian Unitarian Fed establishment is going to be inviting Milyuhns-n-Dilyuhns of Foreign Workers into the US to do the jobs that Amerikans won't do, HOW MANY MILYUHNS-N-DILYUHNS OF AMERIKAN WORKERS WILL US NAU SIBLINGS MEXICO + CANADA + GREENLAND, ETC, INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL FED UNIONS INVITE TO COME TO THEIR NATIONS + REGIONS IN FAIR-N-BALANCED MUTUAL RECIPROCITY???

YOU KNOW - WE TAKE CARE OF THEM ERGO/HENCE THEY TAKE CARE OF US???

Obama + US, World Globalists have yet to answer the above just as they haven't answered how much is Amerika supposed to unilaterally give up, andor how far is Amerika supposed to unilaterally self-retreat across the World so that its OWG Globalist Co-Superpower Siblings can rise to P-A-R-T-Y widout the US being existentially threatened.

ITS A SIMPLE QUESTION(S) BUT A BIGGIE.

HAVE I SAID "BIGGIE"???

But I digress ...

#9 Liberals will use it as a rallying cry to get unions to work with them to vote more liberals into place.
