The protesters need to go after the root of the issue in WI, like elsewhere in this country - corporations. In WI, it's the Koch brothers that are at the root cause of this. The governor is just a puppet of the Koch's.
War on working people? Since when are taxpayers not "working people"? Why do Dems only defend people who work for the government and never those who pay for government to exist?
Very informative and truth yielding article. Can't imagine your motivation for writing this piece would have anything other agenda other then just trying to get the simple truth out there about the forces driving what is happening here in WI concerning this blatant attempt by Republican majority governing party to take away simple employess negotiating work place rights.
This is really a life or death moment for America. Do we let the corporate fueled Tea Party terrorists win and take down America as we know it, or do we fight back and take back our country from what is easily the most dangerous threat to our republic in a generation? >> http://wp.me/pNmlT-BT
The problem was actually started with the Clinton administration. Dropping the Glass Seagull Act was the beginning of the end of Wall Street the way we knew. Why was this done? It eliminated competition by allowing the Banks to buy up so many brokerage firms that were operating at a very profitable pace while keeping people employed. With every Bank buyout or merger, there were tens of thousands jobs lost! To this day these jobs have not been replaced. To make matters worse, Banks and Financial Institutions are limiting the job applications to people with Bachelor degrees or better. I've been in this industry for 28 years of the 50 I've been alive for. Now I can't even receive the right to interview because in every job requirement there is this request for college education. At my age, to be turned away from the industry I devoted more than half my life to is devastating. Not only financially but emotionally. Put and end to this discrimination against the middle aged people and allow us to interview like it's supposed to be. I don't want unemployment insurance or any other assistance. I want to work!!!!!!!!!! Do what the people want, fair treatment.
