The public employees in Wisconsin contribute an average of 1/2 of 1% to their pension system.

They are being asked to contribute 5.8% in the future. What they have now is not being reduced at all.

Private citizens often have to pay 100% th their private pension and worry about protecting their hard-earned money from tax liability.

The news media coverage is making it look like the pro-union revolt in Poland a few years ago. They have not given the average citizen a single fact to work with.
