Millionaire NFLers lobby against right to work

  Indiana may become a right to work state; when Democrats threatened to leave their responsibilities as legislators to avoid the vote, they were told they would be fined $1000 a day if they left. 
  So they came back.
  This is rich.
  Six NFL players are lobbying against right to work. Why? They say it's a "political ploy."
  These players include Jay Cutler:
10/20/2009: Signed a five-year, $49.77 million contract. The deal contains $20 million guaranteed, including a $7 million signing bonus, virtually all of Cutler's first-year salary, and $3.3 million of his 2010 base pay. Cutler can earn $500,000 workout bonuses in each year 2010-2013. 2011: $7.6 million, 2012: $7.7 million, 2013: $8.47 million, 2014: Free Agent
  And Rex Grossman:
Average Salary
$1,150,000 
  Mark Clayton:

2009  $ 3,191,760
  Kris Dielman
$4,500,000 
  So these millionaires think it's appropriate to advise a state many of whose workers have no jobs that it's better not to have a job than to have one in which a union which will get to decide how much you get paid and who actually works.
  That makes sense. 
  Michiganders are wondering if that state will also become a right to work state. There's a great deal of squabbling over Detroit's insolvency, but Governor Rick Snyder is working on balancing the budget. In fact, a small (though designated) surplus of actual dollars will remain at the end of the fiscal year.
