Remember the demonstrations when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker wanted to do away with collective bargaining for teachers unions? He did it anyway and the results are in. Some school districts went from a $400,000 deficit to a $1,500,000 surplus as a result.
Here's an article that explains it:

That's an example of corruption at the state level. Can you imagine the money that is purloined in Washington? Every one of those thousands of lobbyists who prowl the halls and back rooms is trying to get part of it. And we taxpayers are paying for it.
