Ground zero Wisconsin. Walker just admitted his "budget" is really an attempt to bust public sector unions. And if it works here, it is going to happen nationwide.
And the good citizens in this country are divided. Not the 2% or so who union busting will help against the rest, but like an even split.
Its because they have been brainwashed to believe that their financial woes are not because of Wall St, tax cuts for the wealthy, corporations sending jobs overseas.
No, they have been somehow convinced that their enemy is their neighbor. The teacher, the elderly, the fireman, the poor children, anyone who would require a payment either for services provided, money they contributed, promises made, from a government.
And they have been convinced government is bad. Government is bad only for those top 2% who are laughing about the rigged elections, the Supreme Court Justice bribed to do Citizens United to this nation, the mass stupidity of the people who are so scared and so burned out financially and emotionally they are willing to put on silly hats and point a finger at their neighbors who are fighting for everyone's future.
I do not understand the greed. So many homeless, hungry, sick and unable to get medical care, and those who are not are scared spitless that they could be next. How do you do that to a nation and happily take your tax cut and buy another yacht? Is it because you bought your church and paid the clergy to tell you that it is okay? Or do you truly believe that you deserve the lions share of everything and the rest deserve suffering? Are you godlike that you can make so many so unhappy? Have your people think up a response (and I am sure you can buy a good one)
For the rest of us we have to stick together. Union won rights are on the line again. Freedom and democracy have to be fought for constantly. Like our friends in the Middle East who hopefully will all win their battles, we can longer sit in apathy as rights and money disappear. All the time we have to defend what we have. Because the greedy are out there and they have no heart
