This is an undoing of democracy. Today the State Assembly of Wisconsin voted to strip people of the right to collective bargaining. "But this is America, I thought, built on people's basic rights to life, liberty, free speech, etc."
Then I realized this was not the first strike at democracy. And although the corruption at the top negates democracy also I am specifically talking about attempts and victories of stripping rights away from people.
For years now women's rights have been under attack. Gay rights as well.
Why is the nation that prides itself on being the "land of the free" trying to take as many freedoms as possible away from its citizens?
