The below article link presents nothing new that most of us reading this blog do not already know. However, please spread the word to your co-workers to visit this BLOG at least once a day to read the news or tidbits of information about what Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Majority will attempt in their quest to "beat down" working families in Wisconsin.
A "Union" is not some ugly assembled and destructive machine, a "Union" is the collective voice of many. So stay united in what appears to be struggles in the immediate future of working families, but "United" will prevent Scott Walker from dividing us and then winning on his anti-worker agenda. You have all heard or read the saying, "United We Stand - Divided We Fall", this statement has absolute meaning and will require absolute unity from ALL Wisconsin workers.

The states have huge deficits for the same reason that the federal government has one - the very wealthy individuals and corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes anymore. The GOP cuts taxes for the rich every chance they get, and the Democrats are too cowardly to raise them when they have the power. The truth is that state workers are NOT the enemies of "the public," as the GOP claims. Public employment actually subsidizes private employment. Small business owners and their employees should ask themselves who their customers are. How many of them are public employees? If public employees are impoverished (as the GOP wishes), many private businesses will go down the drain and more private employees will lose their jobs.
ReplyDeleteWalker has said that he wants to destroy state employee wages and benefits so he can give the money to the rich in the form of tax cuts. What kind of "deficit reduction" is that? The truth is that increasing deficits seems to be a GOP goal so they can rouse the public to accept cuts that will leave the majority in the position of serfs begging scraps from their billionaire masters.
Next step: Walker will steal state employee pensions in the name of plugging the deficit.
