Thanks, but non-Wisconsinites can’t participate, can we?

Draconian spending cuts – especially those that deprive low-income citizens – would short-circuit our recovery from this current recession. Low and middle-income wage earners spend MOST (IF NOT ALL) of any tax cuts (or govt food or other assistance) that they receive, thus spurring economic activity. They put the money right back into the economy, purchasing essential goods and services. Same goes for true “small businesses,” not your craftily designed S-Corporations masquerading as “small businesses.” That is why the temporary social security tax cut, and the making-work-pay tax credits are working. The economy is on course to recovery, you deficit-spending Republicans (who created this mess in the first place) better keep your hands off it.

I agree with your assessment, Melissa. And I think even the Congressman himself does, too. It is all Gov. Walker’s fault. He is putting the cops in a bad spot, and they don’t like it. In fact, the police are the ones who refused to remove the protesters from the State House until the Court ruled for their temporary removal for cleaning, etc. Come tomorrow, Monday, the people of Wisconsin will be welcome back into THEIR house! And the cops will side with them!n

GREED? A school teacher, police officer or fireman making roughly $50,000/year is greed? A communications worker making the same amount is also greedy? If so, what do you call the Governor making $150,000+/year or the CEOs and other business executives making $50million/year? How about the taxpayer bailed-out company executives making ? Pray tell us, 1Crusader – in which scenario is the word GREED more appropriate? Stop fighting the truth.

Unions are the only viable way to stand up to corporations screwing workers out of fair wages and humane working conditions. Don’t deceive yourself by thinking otherwise. The average employed person (even the most well-educated and skilled) stand no chance against a multi-billion dollar company or a local, state or federal govt agency. Small businesses are GREAT but workers banding together into Unions give them a strong voice against abuse and slave-like work conditions. And, yes, Unionized workers are better-paid, have better benefits and work conditions, and are the majority of our celebrated MIDDLE CLASS.n

YOU’RE BACKING THE WRONG CRUSADE, CRUSADER…YOU ARE WRONG WRONG WRONG.nWalker is a corrupt politician that went into office with a surplus in his budget that he immediately gave back to special interest groups that financed his campaign as well as the many other Tea Partiers that ran for office in the election. Does the name KOCH BROTHERS ring a bell? Yes, he paid back the Koch Brothers with the funds in the Budget and now is ramming the expense on the backs of the working class. The Pensions that the Union brokered for the Teachers were all paid for by deferred salary payments of the Teachers–part of their Salary that they did not take but requested they be put in a fund and taken when they retire. The Teachers actually agreed to take a Salary Cut saying they understood the state of the Economy and were willing to take a pay cut but Walker refused…he is all about breaking the Unions–not balancing his budget. If he truly was concerned about the budget, he would not have cut the taxes for the Millionaire/Billionaires…Obviously you have been brain washed by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh–unless, of course, you are a Millionaire and feel fine about watching America’s Middle Class be eliminated .

How can you not understand that it is the greedy socialist unions and the greedy socialist politicians who have created the current fiscal fiasco in Wisconsin? Blame Walker’s predecessors and the greedy union bosses (as well as the greedy members). Gov. Walker is merely trying to be the adult in this situation and do the responsible thing by reigning in the out of control spending. nOh, and don’t look to the White House for any real leadership on this: your president is once again voting “present” (how’s that whole hopey changey thing working out for you?).

So, are you saying that anyone in Wisconsin who has worked his butt off as an independent small business man is not a “working man”? Those who understand it is the individual who made this country great, and not the mob mentality of a union, are not considered part of your definition of the “working man”? nAmazing. And pathetic!

Umm, I agree it’s necessary to vote in every election, but it’s the demoncrats who’ve put your state on the verge of bankruptcy. The Republican’s are trying to stop the out of control spending. You should be ashamed to be a democrat.

You do that and I hope he fires your asses.
