Right...that's why governors like Wanker are justifying taxing their employees more while giving away HUGE tax breaks to corporations.You people have bumped the dump. Corporations have zit to do with thuggs and unions.
"Thursday, March 17, 2011Corporate Profits Hit 18-Year High
But by all means, raise the taxes on the guy picking up your trash...
You know, corporate loopholes and oil subsidies are our tax dollars too. At least the union guy PAYS his taxes.
That may be true if you believe the corporation played a small role in US history.You people have bumped the dump. Corporations have zit to do with thuggs and unions.
If this BS works and GOP members get recalled anywhere the pitchforks will come out.
My suggestion to any lefties is they'd better hope that they don't get enough signatures because this is about to get ugly.
After their recent service to corporate America, Wisconsin State Senators wasted little time jetting into DC to collect their pay.
Outside the offices of BGR Group (the "B" stands for Barbour, as in Hayley) "as many as 1000 workers, students, union activists and allies filled the streets of downtown Washington."
"Many surged into the building where the senators met with lobbyists who paid as much a $5,000 to 'host' the gathering to thank the Wisconsin Republicans."
"They DC protesters chanted many of the same unions slogans that have been heard at mass protests in Wisconsin.
"And they picked up a political slogan as well: 'Recall!'
"Across Wisconsin, citizens are gathering petition signatures to force recall elections that could remove as many as eight GOP senators who backed the governor's anti-union bill.
"If just three seats (including Darling's) flip to the Democrats, Fitzgerald will no longer be majority leader and Walker's agenda will suddenly face serious legislative hurdles.
"Mocking the Tea Party rhetoric about gunplay and 'Second Amendment Solutions,' one protester in DC held a sign that read: 'We Don't Reload, We Recall!'"
Wisconsin Senators...
Absolutely hilarious.
The Dems shirk their responsibility and leave the state like criminals, and they want to recall the Republicans that stayed and did their jobs.

Republican incumbents look dominant in just two of the districts the 20th (southeastern Wisconsin) and 28th (southwestern Milwaukee suburbs). No surprises there. Those are the first and third reddest districts in the entire state, respectively.
No surprise either in the 32nd (southeastern Wisconsin, straddling the Minnesota and Iowa borders), the states bluest district to be held by a Republican. Incumbent Dan Kapanke faces a 55-41 deficit against a Democratic challenger. President Obama won the district 61-38.
In the 18th (Oshkosh, Fond du Lac and surroundings), Republican incumbent Randy Hopper faces a 44-49 deficit against a generic Democrat. Polling by SurveyUSA last week paints an even direr picture for Hopper trailing 43-54. Petition canvassers in the district claim that his estranged wife and maid signed the recall petition. Whether those rumors are true or not, its clear that this is the second best pickup opportunity for Democrats in this recall effort. They need just one more.
In the 14th (central Wisconsin, Marquette), Republican Luther Olsen will be fighting for his political life, trailing a generic Democrat 49-47. Obama won the district 52-47.
In two more districts, Republicans lead narrowly, but are under 50 percent: In the 10th (St. Croix, northwestern Wisconsin), Sheila Harsdorf holds a 48-44 lead, while in the 2nd (northeastern Wisconsin, outside Green Bay), Rob Cowles holds a mere 45-43 lead. Obama won both districts narrowly.
Finally, Democrats are within striking range in the 8th (Milwaukees northern suburbs), where incumbent Republican Alberta Darling holds a single-digit lead 52-44.
So, if you werent keeping score, Democrats have a fighting chance or better in six districts. They only need three.
By all means. Lets recall all the Reps and then vote in Dems again.
I'm sure the States fiscal problems will be solved by the Dems. After all. They are the ones who screwed the pooch to begin with.
The Union will regain power, the taxpayers will get hosed and all will be well in WI.
Yep. Sounds like a plan to me.
If Wisconsin's fiscal problems stem from a lack of revenue brought about by the Great Recession, "choosing" between Democrat OR Republican won't do much to solve that problem.By all means. Lets recall all the Reps and then vote in Dems again.

On most issues in most states Wall Street controls the responses of both major parties.
Organized labor issues in Wisconsin is an exception.
I don't see how eliminating collective bargaining in Wisconsin solves a problem Wall Street created. I can see how weakening organized political opposition to Wall Street's corporate agenda would solve a big problem for David Koch and Scott Walker.
Georgeeeee tell us how bargaining for classroom sizes by union negotiators is a benefit to teachers. Is it easier working conditions? Is it so the school districts are forced to hire more teachers? Hmmmmmm. I wonder why that would be. Are teachers in Wisconsin forced to join the unions or pay a "agency shop fee?" Does the state automatically take those union fees out of their pay? Collective bargaining in Wisconsin was NOT obliterated by Walker, the costly ridiculous benefits were no longer negotiable collectively. All state employees can still negotiate for base salary. You need to stop reading the Huff'n Puff post.
Are you saying Scott Walker's side doesn't have enough money to hire marchers or that no one is willing to accept corporate money to participate on his behalf?Big deal, flooding the streets of a city with paid Union thugs (most of them BUSSED IN) and a bunch of YOUNG college students isn't anything. And we all will laugh our asses of when you all LOSE at this too.
Ah, so you ADMITT these are HIRED thugs? good for you, like we all didn't know it already.
If they re dimwits they are probably on welfare.The outcome of any Recall Election is far from being decided; however, if you look at which side is able to flood streets from Madison to DC with thousands of supporters, the fates of as many as eight GOP senators in Wisconsin appear to be about as doomed as a Hayley Barbour run for the White House in 2012.
When do these people work?
Or do they work?
I keep hearing this statement but see no proof of a 'huge corporate tax break'. Could you point out where one has been given?Right...that's why governors like Wanker are justifying taxing their employees more while giving away HUGE tax breaks to corporations.You people have bumped the dump. Corporations have zit to do with thuggs and unions.
I wonder what kind of deficit the fleebaggers are facing in a 'generic poll'.Ruh roh ...

Wisconsin recall is real - TheHill.com
I hope y'all er sharpenin' dem der pitchforks, ya hear?!
From moveon.org???? Writing about evil people having the plans? Come on, talk about the definition of evil organizations. So I guess they must know who has the plans.By all means. Lets recall all the Reps and then vote in Dems again.

The pooch was never as screwed as Wanker made it out to be.
Evil People Have All the Plans
Only if you're president and propose massive spending. Then you can rack up a deficit of 1.3 TRILLION in a single year.If Wisconsin's fiscal problems stem from a lack of revenue brought about by the Great Recession, "choosing" between Democrat OR Republican won't do much to solve that problem.By all means. Lets recall all the Reps and then vote in Dems again.

I don't think WI fiscal problems started with Wall St. or the recession You don't rack up 3 Billion in debt overnight.
As for collective bargaining?/ If I read it correctly the Union members still have the right to bargain wages and if I'm not mistaken, benifits as well. What else do you need to collectivly bargain over??
If Walkers plans for WI don't create jobs and repair the States fiscal problems then he will be voted out in 3yrs. The Dems will be voted in and the status quo will be alive and well in WI and the taxpayers/voters will have effectivly hosed themselves yet again.
