I think that's an illusion of yours, some kind of talking point that doesn't pass muster. Scapegoating one group of employees and unions because the State of Wisconsin mismanaged funds, principlely pension funds which were ripped off by Wall ST, is just plain dishonest. To complicate matters this scapegoating is preventing going after the real culprits of this swindle. Here is your chance to name namesWalker is running cover for these guys and the T-Party, a corporate media invention, has convinced a certain type of person to accept bringing 'all workers' down to their level...i.e. 'race to the bottom'. (Even though I believe most T-Partyers have a large share of gov and mil pensioners to begin with )Again to help us understand who you mean, this your chance to name names
...go figure. I believe the average Wisconsin worker retires on 19,000/yr just above the poverty line for a family of three. Many, perhaps, 1/4, do not have Social Security benefits as well...so this is a very very important cause for them.You believe or you know?
Walker is further smokescreening for these swindlers,Again tell us who these swindlers are not going about retrieving the funds, and his ultimate goal is to 'privatize' many state jobs as he canI do believe this and agree with it. What is wrong with private sector jobs. That is how I earn my living on my own as Hank Hill would say it is my own personal private personal business......at that point kiss the middle class good-bye, kiss worker's bargaining good-bye, 'free-riders' can kiss good pay and beneifts good-bye, and Wisconsin's taxpayers can say hello to vastly higher taxes once privatization takes control. I've been saying hello to higher taxes for along time now.Last year alone my property taxes here in Cheeseville rose 19.8% and school taxes alone 23.8% . These are facts I know not what I believe. Walker, and his elite monied supporters, have the primary goal of crushing these unions and THEN PRIVATIZING AS MANY JOBS AS POSSIBLE.
that would be good in my estimation I like the plan. The more people out of the government the more freedom we enjoy. We don't have to pay for the assistant to the assistant....this is his agenda. This means handing off the job market to the same people that set Wisconsin on the road to insolvency in the first place, and it means bringing all workers down to a very menial level by privatization....and privatization rarely, if ever, saves money. Of course you have data to back this up. I'm sure this just isn't hyperbole. This is the kind of change I voted for. Change in my pocket not in someone elses
There is plenty of log-jammed up money in Wisconsin to help solve this problem at this time. Show me the money!Blaming many workers for the the sins and crimes of the few corpo rip-offs, name the names and give us proofseems to be the battle cry of the T-Partyers, but doesn't make much sense, when they should be more closely looking at what really happened and where the money went. Given the T-Party's elite corpo supporters Tell us who they areand steering committees it doesn't look like that is about to happen. I.E....the Gadphens Flag should say "Don't Tread On Us" NDefine us? Surely you are not suggesting that the rights of a certain group do not trump my individual right. Are you saying the union workers as a group should have "rights" that I don't have or are these just privileges?
