So a criminal conspiracy of the uber rich to corrupt the electoral process and no one goes to jail? What is the lesson? In America, if you're going to break the law, don't be poor.
The issue here is NOT what the unions were doing for all to see. You may like unions or not, but that is not the issue here. What the issue here is that we have non-transparent, neo-corporate fascist groups working subversively to hide who they are, where their funding comes from, and who are their operational officers.
It is not important that Walker and Connors know one another or that they interned, the issue is that we have a corporate monolith--Koch Industries, doing what it can to subvert the democratic process, to damage working families, and the benefits that they have paid into for their future. We have paid corporate goon squads who don't want to pay their fair share of taxes and want working people to do carry the state's financial burdent.
What will happen is a decline state budget because those modest income earning families will find they have less to spend, therefore the economy will erode, and fewer tax dollars will filter into the state's treasury, all because Koch hates democracy.
Glenn Back was like the "Chicken Littles” always saying that the “Sky is Falling”, like the same ones that were the “Chicken Hawks” ("W" Wars), big talk no courage. The United States, favors creativity wherever it can be found. We're apostles of prosperity and defenders of the free exchange of ideas and when more people in more countries are free to rise, to invent, to communicate, to dissent, it's not the doom of United States leadership, its the triumph of the American way. Generations have worked hard and sacrificed much for the country to reach this point (individuals and our unions!), and with further hard work and sacrifice (along with our relentless self-doubt) the United States will rise again, we do not tire and we are coming back, no matter what the “Chicken Littles” keep saying about our nation. Never Bet Against the United States!
This week, in response to the Times article and the outrage generated amongst progressives and others who care about the truth the Pentagon announced it's suspending it's program.
WITH A GREAT DEAL OF SCRUTINY AS WELL, RIGHT????????? Check the timing of which vote tallies came in when. So.....when did Walker just amazingly come up with JUST OVER 50% OF THE VOTES???? Seems REALLY important that we do this. When did Waukesha Cty votes get tallied/recorded.......late in the game? Who had charge of those vote numbers?????? Ms. Nickolaus???????
This is a compelling set of questions. Please tell me someone thought of this already!!!!! Thanks.
