You don't have a clue! Your a moron! Out of state influence? What's your business? Big business not paying their fair share of taxes? WMC is the problem for the deficit! Who's bankrupting the states? Dah!

These fellows have no real power. Now let's talk about George Soros, a man worth billion who is a big supporter of unions and their Marxist policies. Soros sees himself as the savior of the world and loves to create havoc wherever he goes. He is a big supporter of the socialist Democrat Party in America.

The state supreme court today found in favor of Governor Walker. These unions have bankrupted the states that are in trouble. They should never have been permitted in government because there is no one there to represent the taxpayer .Remember it s the taxpayer that has to pay the bills. As for collective bargaining,even the federal government does not permit it. People of Wisconsin...Governor Walker is trying hard to save your state from bankruptcy. Support him!!!

"But the good people of Wisconsin elected Scott Walker as their governor. And they elected Republican majorities in their legislature. And elections have consequences."

Bet they will rethink that next time around! While the consequences are being felt by the hard working men and women of education, police and fire, in the long run, i think it will be the republican party will bear the weight of these consequences next election.

Let me first say, I am liberal and not a Republican. This isnt political for me. I have seen first hand how unions work both in construction and the casino industry - these institutions are absolutely horrible to be associated with for both employer and employees. If the majority of Americans knew what went on behind close doors (filthy, threatening language - dirty, undermining lies - intimidation of members- lazy workers negotiating for 3 day work weeks, over the top benefits and ridiculous demands they call "collective bargaining") these unscrupulous, uneducated, overpaid goons would be on the street with no job at all. Unions are destroying the work place moral and contributing to the loss of jobs in America. When will someone expose these thugs for what they are? I have no desire to be defined by trashy, greedy unions and proud that I have always "earned" my pay and respect. Why do these union industries feel such a sense of entitlement? WAKE UP!! We are no longer living in the 1930s.

If you want to know what every teacher in your school district makes for a salary, go to the administration office for the school and request a copy of their bargaining unit employee benefits.

It will give you the names of which kindergarden teacher is making 70,000 a year plus the health benefits paid for them. Yes that sum is an actual teachers salary here in central WI. and yes there is a name in front of that figure. This is all public information that can be requested by taxpayers in the district. Those who are union members in the secretary pool aren't too happy about giving it out but.... This way you can shut your friends up who say that is not true or you've got to be kidding. The latest rub now in WI is that they are rushing through contracts to get pay increases before the legislation goes through to limit them. 4-7% increases are not uncommon with the bulk coming in at 3-5.

Obama did not want Republicans involved, he wanted them to be quiet and just go along. If that is what you call involved then be quiet and go along with Gov. Walker
