Did You Know Your Tax Dollars Are Funding the Democratic Party?

Take a look at this outstanding column by a very thoughtful political analyst, Michael Barone of The Washington Examiner. The whole article is good, but this paragraph in particular caught my attention:

"'Follow the money,' Washington reporters like to say. The money in this case comes from taxpayers, present and future, who are the source of every penny of dues paid to public-employee unions -- who in turn spend much of that money on politics [$400 million in 2008 alone], almost all of it for Democrats. In effect, public-employee unions are a mechanism by which every taxpayer is forced to fund the Democratic party."
