Dear Readers, Kenric Ward, a national reporter for Watchdog.org and chief of the Virginia Bureau, writes about how you are forced to pay for government union lobbying:
-------- "While Congress takes its five-week vacation, the hard partisan work continues at the <http://www.nteu.org/>National Treasury Employees Union, subsidized by taxpayers. The <http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/4/editorial-the-tax-mans-politics/>Washington Times reported this week that the Internal Revenue Service provides government salaries, office space and equipment to NTEU operatives, who ostensibly represent 92,000 IRS employees. The IRS deputy commissioner calculates these union workers spent 573,319 hours in 2012 on NTEU business. Thats the equivalent of 286 full-time employees doing nothing but union labor." -------- The full article is here: http://watchdog.org/163675/irs-union-subsidies/ Take a few minutes to check out Kenric's writing. -- Marc Montoni, Secretary Libertarian Party of Virginia P.S.
