level of danger and recklessness because we know that these h unions have been prone to violence not just in the past nt but in the recent past. sean: i don t understand why rank-and-file aren t more angrye that their hard-earned money, their dues literally go toey unions and then that money isth often spent, you know, on politicians, on campaigns, on parties that they don t support, you know. why isn t there more anger towards union leadership? why isn t there more anger in the case of washington? they misappropriate our funds, solyndra, sun power, the finland electric car company. i don t understand. occupy wall street.om why not occupy 1600 pennsylvanic avenue and say hey, stop misappropriating money this way. or occupy seiu or the national education association which in 2009-2010 collected $13
their pension, 15% contributiona to health care which is pretty much the standard for people ini the private sector, right? it s actually a much better deal than what people in the private sector get. in ohio the average is about 31% of payments for people in the private sector towards their health care. we don t have guaranteed lifetime pensions in the private sector like we do in government. so the benefit structure in the public sector for governmentis employees is vastly better than it is for the same private. sector employees. you know, you heard the governor. if this is t voted down, this doesn t impact his budget. state employees already makeeady their contributions, so municipalities, they re not going to get money fro, m thet o governor and the legislature to pay for this. what happens if they have to lay off workers? the problem is with the billd is that it s overreaching and it s unfair. he talked about three little points and you brought up threeu little points. that
you can t do that right now. it s either yes on the whole thing or no on the whole thing.n sean: that s the referendum. would you support the legislation we re talking about here? would you support the provisions that say you can t change that contribution? the 15%, 10%? sean: would you support it? yes. i would look and talk to the people that it affects. you look very happy. i m ecstatic. most already pay it. that s the whole thing. sean: they won t be able to negotiate that down in the future. you support that? forpp the health care.ut sean: what about pension? for the pension pickup, that s a different situation because a lot of employers use that so they don t have to giveo salaries. those areal very importantpot parts, but there are other parts, too. for example, we have excessive time off provisions in local communities. there s a fire department outside of columbus that gets d three and a third months off paid time every single year. there s another pro
money that mitt romney or rick perry has he. has to use guerilla tactics. over half the republican primarr voters have not yet settled on a firm choice. this race is very wide open. let me ask you this. can rick perry come back withrr the flat tax plan? no. the fox news poll came out. by 3 to 1, republican primary voters prefer a flat tax rather than a fair tax that herman cain wants to go to. people are rising and fallingo all the time. they don t want romney. he might be the only competitive one on the stage. as much as i hate to stay this,e i think there s room for newt gingrich to get back in the race which is strange coming from me. i don t see rick perry returning. i think he s made too many fatal mistakes. i think he s out. there are a lost details, a sean, in rick perry s family ort herman cain s plan. the bottom line is the reasonth these plans are resonating withr republican voters and voters at
why? y you re mixing two things. that s what it comes down to. it comes down to it s not the government s role or anybodyer else s role to make that decision. ito ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make, not me as- president. i guess the question is do you believe that abortion shouln be legal in this country for for families who want to make that decision? no.de no. i do not believe abortion should be legal in this country ifco that s the question. sean: i want to give you ay. chance to clarify. does that mean in the case of rape, in70, etc., a mother s life do you make any exceptions? let me go back to this, sea. i am and have always been pro life from conception. that piece was totally taken out of context. it s interesting that they didn t go back to the other 100i interviews on tape somewhere that says that i am consistentlt
