If they are so worried about Scott Wanker in Wisconsin and the state running out of money then why doesn't the GUvNOR and all the elected politicians take a pay cut, pay for his or her own health care and retirement and stop the corporate tax cuts to their dumb ass corporate friends....the corporations will move out of state you say? Well let them go and restructure the state economy around corporations that are willing to help their employees and the state they live in.. if not? the problem will never go away the dumb asses!!!! Corporations will ask for more more more.....tax beaks..their are plenty of great corporations who support the people and the states they are in...states should learn to invest in corporations that give back to their state instead of asking for tax breaks.. corporations who care about their employees and the states they live in are worthwhile and support the real U.S.A. That is the message they should be sending the dumb asses......
...Then who decides who is or is not awarded that privilege, and by what right do they decide it? By right of being super-rich?
Here's what's a privilege and not a right: the privilege of having other human beings perform the labor that builds your mansions and provides all the luxuries beyond the reach of working people that you take for granted; the labor that made you rich and left them still poor -- until they fought for and won the right of collective bargaining.
Oh wait...sorry, you're not rich either, are you?
Use the language of reasonable thinking men and women. We are not fighting to become like the conservative Republican Party. I thought we want to stop their assault on the working people...we're tired of the GOP's favoritism toward business and wealthy.
There are plenty of facts...search for them. Look up the concentration of wealth, stagnant wages/salaries...30 years of it. Fight them with our ideas, beliefs, principles and values.
Dear Katwoman:
Unfortunately, your note reflects a completely incorrect understanding on every front. The state employees you are talking about, firefighters, police, teachers, nurses, sanitation workers work plenty hard for a living. I challenge you to walk in any of their shoes for a day and then have the audacity to assert that they are not working for a living. It's a pity you are so badly misinformed. As for the "privilege" of collective bargaining, it was a legally recognized "right" in this state for over half a century and the contracts also create legally enforceable rights.
The founder of the Republican party, Abraham Lincoln, said many things I think were incredibly wise but one seems particularly appropriate in this case: "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
Next time why don't you give an opinion based on actual facts.
