  • More cowbell!

  • This is a terrible comparison and is a slap in the face to the millions who suffered at the hands of adolf hitler. i knew the lefties had some horrific tactics, but this is one of the worst

  • @MrDuramax57

    yeah, it's a valid comparison since both were dictators

    I even know some guy that supports him, saying that union plumbers are making WAY too much and that they should work for wages HE deems appropriate

    I bet the rest of us should be outraged over their "excessive, exhorbitant wages"

    I wonder what he has to say about CEO pay?

  • Collective bargaining was abused by labor unions and now they cry and whine that they lost this BENEFIT and compare Walker to Hitler. Lefty socialists are a curse upon wisconsin

  • Getting money for not working? Yeah sure, that's how society works. Let me put this into a perspective that a protesting liberal would understand. If you don't do your homework, you don't get a sticker. Simple, for most people.

  • Scott walker is a piece of garbage

  • hitler also rode in a car just like you did lady. funny liberals definition of rich changes every day. state employees have been raping the tax payers for years now the check is due. i predicted this long ago.

  • These are the same liberals who complained with it was Obama being compared to Hitler.

  • @StoogeWatcher You must be the same conservative who complained when it was Bush being compared to Hitler.

  • @ZeDingoBlag Just pointing out the hypocrisy from the leftists.

  • @StoogeWatcher There's hypocrisy from both sides. Does that mean I get to call you a hypocrite for calling liberals hypocrites when you too are a hypocrite?

  • GIVE ME MONEY! THE CORPORATIONS.. AND POVERTY... THE RICH... I WANT MONEY AND REFUSE TO WORK!

  • Hitler was a socialist

    Nazi party was the German national social workers party or something along those lines, the acronym comes from the German translation.

  • no the whole gop is

  • @LIBERALTSUNAMI Liberals are the Nazis. Take a look at one of their "peace rallies" where they blame Jews for everything.

  • @StoogeWatcher It is better to jokingly blame the Jews than to seriously accuse inner city blacks.

  • @StoogeWatcher I've seen that so many times.

  • And these morons are teaching your kids. Lay them all off.

  • Tell me one difference between Walker and Hitler. Can't do it can you.

  • The debt solution is simple: TAX THE RICH!!!! They've got all the money. Most of it made by immoral acts. Selling garbage at WalMart or Target. Not paying taxes. We middle classers pay a much higher percentage of taxes than the obscene, filthy rich people. So lets GO GET "EM!!!

  • Look at this piece of shit with the megaphone at the end. "tax the rich, tax the rich": Another Democrat looking for a handout.

  • @r1cefed you must be very wealthy, let me tell u something people who are middle class and poor are not looking for a hand out, answer this why should i pay more taxes than a person who is rich and if they own a big corperation then they get a tax break and if i were to win the loto they would take half of it how is that fair.

  • I hate morons who argue that because a man was evil, everything he did was evil. It's illogical. It especially makes no sense to attack Hitler's economic policies, considering he brought Germany out of one of the worst depressions in world history. She's only making a stronger case for the dissolution of unions.

  • Ignorant ass liberals. "Tax the rich and give it to me" Why do any of these ignorant people deserve more money or benefits for what they are doing. They are probably bussed in protestors from another state that they feed with pizza and give them free tents to stay in while they protest in cold ass Wisconsin for weeks on end. WTF kind of job do they have that they can just not work to protest. I would fire them.

  • @r1cefed fuck the tea party

  • Walker got his way in Wisconsin, Russ Feingold got the boot there too, now the recall is sputtering and Walker's man Prosser just won the election you said he couldn't win and to top it off, Sarah Palin flies in all the way from Alaska to piss on your forehead.

    LOL, it would seem that the "Revolution" you misanthropes called for has arrived and it looks nothing like what you anticipated. Hang on deadbeats and freeloaders, it's gonna be a rough ride.

  • @Sundogjeep, bullseye.

  • The left wingies in the country are nothing but a collection of morons. Be gone.

  • @Maxwedge12000 no thats the tea party get your facts strait

  • @httm241 Nope, it's the left wingies.

  • @httm241 oh ya what has scott walker done that is good for wisconsin

  • The Union no longer serves the pourpose it was created for and is little more then an arm of the socialist party. It is time for the teachers to reeducate themselves ans wake the hell up.

  • people shouldn't compare scott walker to hitler! hes more like the balding C- student offspring of hitler, satan and the tea party if they all had butt sex and crapped out a baby

  • That's right, productivity is increasing and wages are decreasing. Taxes for corporations are decreasing. Why should I be angry at the nice woman who teaches my children again? Someone explain this to me, please.

  • Walker let pseudo Koch know that he wasn’t going to use crowd busting tactics on the WI people, but put a few bogus signs in the crowd? “people can pay for protesters to come in to a crowd,” “Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Prank Call”” this was a response to pseudo Koch comment’s on placing Hobo’s in public.

  • no rich people hire you and pay . you want to be rich work hard and start a business for yourself

  • @MrJord1994 You people just don't get it, do you? We don't want to be rich. That is not our sole purpose in life. We want to raise our children, spend time with those we love, care for our parents in their old age. We want to be forever learning what it means to be human. There is more to life than money. He who dies with the most toys dies a child.

  • The rich get raped by taxes thats how it has always been, what a fucking idiot,  ...facepalm, if it wasn't for these "rich corporations" there wouldn't be any jobs, well what about public jobs? That's paid for by taxes, where do taxes come from? Taxpayers of course but they wouldn't be able to pay that if there weren't corporations. It's called an economy...get the fuck over it, I bet that guy never made it past high school and works some shitty job and is jealous of someone making 40k a year

  • R I G H T The only terrorist like operation in Wisconcin is the unions.The country is on to your terrorist like activities and unions are going down. Scott Walker is a American hero.

  • The Federal Reserve, with BIPARTISAN cooperation of the Federal Government has stole around 18 TRILLION Dollars from the American people! There is no free market. Our economy is fascist in nature, it is controlled by a central bank. The huge corporations and bankers love to see the slaves blame eachother for the economic situation. Democrats and Republicans are both wrong. Private sector workers were screwed and now it's the the public sectors turn. Keep fighting eachother idiots! WAKE UP!!!!

  • HAHAHA! WTF? THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!!! HAHAHAHAA!

  • If people do not want to learn, they will not - ignorance will continue - life will go on!

    GO WALKER GO!

  • Psycho woman, and I am poor.... that guy at the end is a friggin communist.

  • SUCK UP PUSSIES!!!

  • CRISIS,,,,OH OK

    watch?v=gkNh3Z3rSR0

  • Dude with the blow horn - where's my god damn, Venti Latte with a cinnamon twist and chocolate sprinkles.

    Do you think that coffee is going to make itself?

    Get back to work...and when I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you!

  • The protesters are a bunch of cry babies that are selfish materialists that wet their pants when they do not get their way! DFL people are the communists that want all the working class to support their high cost life styles!

  • Scott HITLAR walker should be recalled. He is UNFIT to be in the public sect!

  • The Democrats and the public sector unions are the real Nazis.

    God bless Governor Scott Walker and the Republicans.

  • This is just...gross.

    The Jewish Community Relations Council of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation has condemned "the hyperbolic use of Nazi and Holocaust references" by protesters. And Politifact has labeled as "pants on fire" the claim that "the first thing Hitler did was abolish unions and that's what Walker is doing."

  • You have the right to assemble just don't use taxpayer money. Taxes drove the American Revolution, for we were a taxaphobic, liberty-loving people. That government is best that governs least is an Americanism. Corporations create jobs. Governments create deficits. That is NOT the American dream, it's a nightmare. We cannot afford to pay union entitlements for corrupt union leaders bribing democrats politicians to legislate more money from hard working Americans to the unions in the form of dues.

  • @hellotommy

    It was non representation that fueled the revolution (look it up). We have always paid taxes, that is how you fund a government. Unions are representation. Corporations create BAD jobs, look at the good jobs and businesses that were displaced by the box stores. Whenever you have top heavy corporations they look at the bottom line and end up doing things in the best interest of investors ie: sending jobs overseas in manufacturing and service, outsourcing and busting labor.

  • @lightningtoad Corporations create REAL JOBS government transfers wealth. We could lose 50% of the public union workforce and not notice a drop in productivity. Wi Bill give Americans; Leverage over Government (less money to gov. more for workers), control over Inflated Gov Pay (Cadillac Benefits, not Rolls Royce benefits), Forced Union Dues on workers (28 non-right-to-work states, force employees to pay union dues or get fired), Politicized Civil Service (Gov unions were the top political $).

  • What's the point? Oh... I get it, but the guy with the camera didn't. If you are looking for nuts, just hit a few metropolitan street corners and I think you'll find more radical thinking than your "guy with a bullhorn"

  • Conservative policies are the only thing that will save this country, It's a harsh reality that if you want companies to establish themselves in your state, you have to give them tax incentives! It's the only way to get jobs. Its a simple as that. Our country is under attack by left and right wing lunatics. Spending cuts are great unless it affects you , right?

  • American tax payers are broke you idiots and how are they going to pay your salary!!!

    Liberal way nobody else should have money!!

  • The sign is funny because it's true.

  • Sorry little camera person - no easy-bake Fox News "Hitler" soundbite for you.

  • The United Communist Party of Germany began the "conquest" of the German trade unions in 1921. It is THEY who first "took over the trade unions". It is not wrong to destroy Communist organizations be they unions or not.

    Hitler committed great acts of evil but crushing the Communists was not one of them. A communist Germany would have allied with the Soviet Union and the resulting number of graveyards would have been no less horrific.

    Hitler attacking unions is insignificant.

  • What a dumb fucking bitch! I would of ripped that sign out of her hand and knocked that stupid fucking smirk right off her ugly face. I hope she gets laid off and loses everything, she fucking deserves it. As for the stupid degenerate with the mega phone, why don't you get a God damn job and actually contribute something to society. Taxpayers are sick and tired of carrying you mother fucking, no good, pieces of shit, Wisconsin "teachers" - more like leeches on their backs! USA! USA! USA!

  • @FreeAmericanRepublic U MAD, BRO?

  • This video just goes to show you have the liberal mind works. No one should have money. Give it all to the man with the bullhorn.

    Teachers are the most unintellictual, wastefull people on the planet. I have worked with many of them. All they do is whine and pass the buck and talk nasty about their students.

  • Liberals are so violent and lazy. You lazy gat teachers need to go back and do your jobs

  • Liberals are so violent and lazy

  • Liberal = communist useful idiots

  • @DIEARABDIE  Liberal = First to be shot after complete Communist take over.

  • in a liberals mind, losing their collective bargaining is another holocaust...

  • The woman is an uneducated idiot!! Hitler did what SHE is doing!! Go to the library and read a book on the murderer. Oh, and to the guy with the bullhorn: Get a job and stop sponging off the rich AND the poor!

  • Conservatives need to learn how to listen and to negotiate. Listen to what the teachers are saying.  They're fine paying for health insurance and taking certain cuts, all they want to keep is their bargaining rights. I understand that republicans enjoy fucking things up for the middle class, but is ONE THING to much to ask for?

  • some of these protesters are very stupid and possibly nuts..

  • @dap889 You have to like the "We should tax the rich"..........what a classic communist line.

  • Governor Walker is using the democratic process to close a $137 million (well $3 B) budget gap via stripping public union members of their collective bargaining rights and having them contribute a small amount to their exorbitant salaries, benefits, and pensions still less their counterparts in the private sector.

    .

    14 Democratic Senators fled the state in derelict of their duties. All 14 should be recalled.

    .

    Once again teachers are using “the kids” to protect their jobs and benefits.

  • @TheModelification Could you imagine what would happen if Republican legislators fled the state? And how are those Democrats surviving since they aren't getting paychecks? Must be those same unions who cry poverty helping them out.

  • Collective bargaining is not available to fed unions it's not their right,? Why because Jimmy Carter thought it was a bad idea and eliminated the process, FDR also was aganist collective bargaining. Why should Wi unions have a better deal .Fire the democrats that didn't show up for work.

  • So are these people saying that Walker is going to kill millions? Really people? Has it come to name calling, like it was in kindergarten. Walker is far from being like Hitler. He has not strong-armed anyone! He had my vote, and I still stand behind him. If anyone is like Hitler it would be Obama, he actually has endorsed the killing of millions.

  • How does taxing the rich, help us afford more? Please explain!

  • just another impeachable offence of the tenth amendment by bozo obama. 

  • @badbob85037 - You don't even know what the 10th amendment is. And the Constitution isn't just something 60 year olds worry about after eating at Jack in the Box 7 days a week.

  • well people,,most likely the dollar will collapse soon and we will all be living in a depression,, its been predicted to last 15 years. What will you all march for then ? You will be marching then to look for food and water, and you will be thinking to yourselves..maybe we should not have complained so much about not having our cake and eating it to

  • Gov. Walker is a true patriot! He is looking out for future generations of Wisconsinites that are not born yet. These people act like they will have to work for $1.65 per hour if this bill passes. How come I have not heard of government employees gettin the " ole axe" in this bad economy. Its always the "private sector" taking it in the shorts. We should be the ones "raising hell" about the direction of this county and how we're going bankrupt!!

  • And these are the same liberals who cry about Obama being compared to Hitler.

  • Some one needs to POW! POW Scott Walker!!!!!

  • @latoshaf1 why dont you go do that to yourself

  • @cherokeedoll1 no comments!

  • @latoshaf1 I thought Democrats were against violence. Oh wait, they can't even follow their own advice.

  • @StoogeWatcher We are against violence but step on our toes and you will see.

  • @latoshaf1 No, you're pro-violence, but claim to be "peace activists." The ones doing the assaulting are "peaceful" Democrat-supporting union thugs.

  • @StoogeWatcher DAM RIGHT!

  • @latoshaf1 You liberals prove your hypocrisy well. By the way, you librats were the ones lecturing on civility and nonviolence. You can't even follow your own damn advice. Compare how Democrats reacted to the Fort Hood shooting to that of Tucson.

  • GO WALKER!!!!!! THE BEST GOV WISCONSIN EVER HAD!!!!

  • @eddiegeorge262 NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • For those that want to get rid of public unions, what if we made a law that any corporation receiving any money from the government couldn't lobby nor donate funds to the political process?

    Think you'll see anything like that from any Republican???

  • @ republicansrule- (cont.) i rather have that instead of using my tax money to benefit the corporate executives of oil companies and defense contractors and get them rich by starting up useless wars with the rest of the world at the expense of the taxpayer. The same companies donate hefty amts to ur party of thugs. Time for u to get real.

  • @ republicansrule- uh smart guy, where do u think republicans get their funding from? If my tax money was going to the unions which in turn goes to support the democrats (who are favourable to the middle and lower classes) i'd be fine with that.

  • @ USA4JULY1776- (cont.) with that being said, that doesn't give the rich to treat the middle class and lower class like crap by messing with our work benefits. Remember that the middle class is what drives this nation's economy. If u make the middle class poor also, then you're looking at tge next depression.

  • @ USA4JULY1776- umm not everyone can make it to be "rich." i don't know what world you're living in, but "everyone doesn't" get an opportunity to succeed. Not everyone has the intellect to start businesses and become rich off that. Everyone has their own capacity to be something and play imp roles in society.

  • MADtown (Madison), Wisconsin is a FUCKED-UP LIBERAL COMMIE TOWN! "FAIR SHARE" of taxes, "REVOLUTION" are the words and chants of the Commie foot soldiers. Is another Army Mathematics Research Center bombing coming??? This FUCKING town is like Berkeley, "Colliefornia", and Jew York City with its fucking arrogant in your face Commies.

  • Always one in every crowd

    (I'm sure if there were many more hitler comparisons, we would have seen them in the video.)

  • Bus driver made 150K? Any documentation for that? Or for the Cadillac pension plans you say they have?

  • @janawoo1 C'mon now! You know that republicans dont back their statements up with facts! They just repeat what Limbaugh and Beck say, take biased tv commercials as Gospel, and think that everyone but themselves (and big business) are a bunch of freeloaders....

  • Here is the dirty little SECRETE! MONEY GOES TO DEMOCRAT PARTY WE TAXPAYERS ARE FUNDING THIS BS!

    Employees and political action committees of organizations that make up the big four special interests that own the Democratic Party contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions to the party's federal candidates in 2010.The top 20 labor unions, for example, gave more than $68 million in 2010, with 94 percent of the total going to Democrats and just 4 percent to Republicans.

  • The business I worked for shut down 1 1/2 years ago due to no work. I have since been unemployed except for a few minor things I could do myself. I have not drawn 1 day of unemployment. My wife and I are making it pretty good because of all the cuts we had to make. All the states and the Federal gvmt is going to have to make big cuts. GOVERNMENT WORKERS, LIBERALS AND UNIONISTS GET USED TO IT. WE HAVE TO CUT EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. Just accept it and do the best you can.

  • Leftists are everything they say about conservatives and Republicans... it's called psychological projection.

    When leftists point an accusing finguer at others, three of their own point back at them.

    Yes, tax "the (fabled) rich"... what a simple world leftists live into.

    The "rich" are people who, after years of studying, paying off loans, raising families, finally reach their high income potential in their middle age years or successful small businesses after years of trial and error.

  • It's nifty for the left to be able to say that Hitler was a union buster, but it's historically dishonest. Essentially, Hitler gave all the bargaining chips to the workers and took all the power from the employer.

  • Hitler didn't simply abolish unions, he banned all unions except for the National Socialist Union of Employers and Workers, which he mandated by law that EVERYONE join. The stated aims of that union sound exactly like what you hear from SEIU and AFL-CIO, with the added bonus that since employers were required to join the union, and thus subordinate to union leadership, they had no real bargaining rights.

  • I hope this woman isn't a history teacher.

  • Money is their only motive in doing all things, the Republican Mad Men; are liars, bigots, and thieves, which are the sum of their moral principles, values, ethics, and governing leadership. Now perhaps we will GET IT and STOP voting for these candidates because of their campaign advertisement lies and BS, do your homework before you cast your ballot next election day!.

  • @Linda212ify so what does that make the democrats? saints?!? the reps give tax breaks to the rich to entice them to invest into American businesses and create more jobs. unions fund democratic candidates, who then give lavish benefits off the taxpayers paycheck. your logic makes no sense. you libs almost never back up you accusations with any kind of example. you pains the reps as a greedy and heartless mob who want money. prove it. dont just cry and complain on the internet.

  • @390bullitt1968

    I read your little pussy ass coments on the "Gov. Scott Walker compared to Hitler " video!

    Where the fuqq do you get off saying this about our brave soldiers:

    "Your average rank and file soldier or marine or navy enlistee is about as mature as a 10 yr old. I have seen how these men work and play ,and to me the Army, Navy, AF, Marines is just another name for a day care center, but for 18 yr olds and up."

    Fuqq you, you lazy disrespectful bitch!

  • Goldman Sach's says if the congress goes along with the republican plan to cut spending it would end up subtracting 2% from real GDP growth going forward. Is this the way republicans are going to create jobs? Or is this the way to keep unemployment at an all time high? With these new republicans and the way they hate the workers in America I would bet on the latter to become the new republican normal.

  • Before our children end up homeless*

  • I find it appalling when pple suggest to get rid of public schools. Lol, what a bunch of retards. Can't you see how much the republicans are trying to screw up the middle and lower classes. Now they're talking about getting rid of public schools and privatizing them? Where i live, private schools cost about $7,000 a year for high school students. That's nearly the cost of sending a kid to a state college. Who the hell has that kind of money? Vote these bastards out before our children end up ho

  • @patriottomahawk You are right........... it is all about republicans getting the contracts for private schools like the contracts they already have for private prisons. It is all greed pure and simple. They then will get paid straight into their banks by our government and be cutting our wages at the same time. Fuck republicans.

  • @jay123jd - I love capitalism, the Lazy hate it ,. LOL

  • Tom Delay is facing 3 1/2 years for money laundering. I wonder what kind of jail time one would get for ethics charges stemming from soliciting gratuities from corporations while being an elected Governor for the state of Wisconsin. Scott Walker may be the first domino. Dude the west coast is not that much fun for an old married conservative white guy. You don't have to travel to get your ass wet. The Kock lobbyist are opening up a new shop right across the street from your job. Just whistle.

  • Walker just got tag teamed by his love for those Kock Bros. Does anyone know a republican, past or present, that can talk to an owner without pissing all over himself? It was all about Governor Walker. He was ready willing and able for that trip to Disneyland. He was a rock star from Wisconsin. I nearly pissed all over myself when I found out he shit in his own Post Toasties.

  • @jay123jd - Jews are into your sort of fun. don a yarmulke and you can join their club. Leave the fat black ho in the trailer park.

  • This racket of ripping the people off is called a union and it was created by a bunch of greedy con artist jews. Some people won't like that but it's the truth. They're like modern day nazis anyway. They run the fed reserve too.

  • Time to begin teaching the holohoax truth to Wisconsin children. The Jews invented this 6MM hoax in 1919 and promoted it in NYC from 1919-1928. They scammed Americans out of $250 million dollars= $12 billion in 2010 dollars. Modern day Holohoax scams the world out of $12 billion or more per yr! Catholic bishops in NYC exposed the 1928 Holohoax scam and shuit it down.

  • hitler was a great leader and had 98% approval ratings. The Jewish bankers hated him as did the slave traders, porn dealers, croooked money lenders who were all Jewish. Madison is a town infested with Commies and all commies are Jews.

  • @390bullitt1968 Did you love that swallowing cumsoaked assforked corporate loving nazi Hitler also?

  • @jay123jd - Hitler was one of the better statesmen of the century and an average military leader. His weakness was he was too nice to others. He would have been justified under international law if he wiped out all 250,000 cowardly British at Dunkirk. Rather, he gave them all a free ride home. Proof he was a nice guy. As to the hoax of gassing 6,000,000 in a bedroom, dont make me laugh. That story is just silly. Like suggesting you could satisfy your fat black ho, given your two inch tool.

  • @jay123jd

    EL OH EL! 

  • He may not be Hitler but his is a horse face.

  • unions against the taxpayers,hmmm, who will win

  • The idea that he even some what close ti Hitler is totally stupid. Anyone knows once you bring up Hitler in any debate/speach article etc you have lost the debate.

    Take the idiot from Ohio that wore a NAZI SS uniform. there is a thin line there but go for his tea party politics. That is always a winner as no one with any inteleigence cannot defend against the charge.

  • And spit.

  • Hey maybe Walker knew there would be protests and that it would help increase revenue on the square! The local businesses are doing great right now! Keep protesting and spending money! And yes I know this has nothing to do with the original post like the rest of the posts here.

  • If this teachers union bitch wants to see Nazi like legislation, she should look no further than Obama Care, forced on us against our will by the three Democrat stooges, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and emperor wanna be Barrack Hussein Obama. Forcing taxpayers to buy a product against their will, with the threat of fines and imprisonment if they don't seems a little Nazi like to me.

  • While all unions are detrimental to the economy and production, "public" sector government employee unions are particularly bad. When unionized employees are looking at bargaining with private companies, they know that if they press it too far, the company exceeds the money available and they lose their jobs. This limiting factor doesn't happen with Gov Employee unions. The "Government's" money (out of OUR pockets) is treated as limitless.

  • Get rid of the public school system.

  • OK NOW PEOPLE ! THESE ARE THE BAT SHIT CRAZY SONS OF BITCHES EDUCATING YOUR CHILDREN !!... TEACHING THEM HOW TO BE NEEDY LITTLE NON MOTIVATED LIB IDIOTS... TEACHING THEM HOW TO SUCK OFF THE GOVERNMENT TIT.. LET ME ASK YOU LIB IDIOTS SOMETHING... WHY DON'T YOU SEND ME A CHECK FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE OUT OF YOUR POCKETS !? WE NEED TO FIRE THE WHOLE LOT OF THESE ENTITLEMENT MINDED IDIOTS AND STOP THEM FROM TEACHING OUR CHILDREN HOW TO BE NEEDY SOCIALIST LOSERS !

  • replace "the rich" with "the jews"... boom, problems solved

    

  • the woman is NUTS.. and if she is a teacher she should go back to school and learn history

  • why don't they just print more money for these... 'people'?

  • Go Gov. Walker! We need to put an end to the strangle hold on public works jobs, this is a huge thing! Thank you Wisconsin for leading the nation in saying enough is enough!

  • I love the picture of (R) Scott Hitler!! I think that is his senior picture from University of Marquette. Oh wait... he dropped out. Lots of education and ethics needed to become a politician these days.

  • that guy makes me wanna grab his megaphone and bang him in the head with it.

  • Im a firefighter/paramedic. A bad day at the office means someone lost a home or a loved one. It doesn't mean i messed up an order, or couldnt close a deal with another firm. Try telling a mother her 2 year old daughter is no longer with her. I am not included in this bill currently. I oppose it knowing that we will be next. But where will the cuts stop from there. This will fix a fraction of the fiscal problem. Private sector.... your next.

  • The other kicker to the overtime caper is the fact that the elected government official decides not to hire open positions. They save money buy paying out overtime instead of paying salaries and benefits. Then they slam the public workers by saying how much they make. This is a direct impact on trying to save the city money. Lets force a certain city department to obtain overtime; then call them overpaid. Lets face it.... this is a bad situation regardless what side you stand on.

  • Wow, does the guy on the loudspeaker remind anyone else of soviet agitator from the movie "Fiddler on the Roof"? It's no mistake he's wearing a red t-shirt. I'd love to see what it says.

  • The bus driver made over twice his salary all in overtime. They have a clause were the most senior employee has dibs on the overtime first. He chose to work 7 days a week throughout the summer. Im sure if you were giving this opportuninty that it wouldnt very well appeal to you. This person can't very well be catagorized with any other situation that we are talking about. But if this is your only argument i suppose you have to dwell on it.

  • @119schueler I think a lot of people would support me on this.

  • To some people on here..you probably think I'm a heartless SOB for writing this, but I have no sympathy whatsoever for the protesters in Madison. As a worker in the private sector, I believe that public sector employees should have to contribute to their health/dental insurance and "Cadillac" pension plan like I do and there is no place for collective bargaining in public employment. An example: the Madison bus driver who made $150k thanks to collective bargaining. It's simply not fair

  • @brandenburg75 The public sector gave up big raises to retain lower benefits. When the private sector was stuffing there pockets with fat bonuses and quick cash, the public workers had the foresight to look long term. Lets criticize employees who made a good financial investment/decision. Sounds like nothing more then petty jealousy.

  • @119schueler Your'e wrong again!! It's not petty jealousy, I don't think private sector employees like myself should have to pay for the "public" gravy train.

  • @brandenburg75 ~ that's what missing from this argument. the public sector does many things you couldn't afford if it becomes private. schools, fire departments, highways, and police were all private at one time and it was utter chaos. only the well off could afford them. that's why we have these public sectors to begin with. 50 million people can't afford health care, can you afford a $50,000 college education? you will not be able to afford anything if it all becomes privatized!

  • @brandenburg75 You Are right! 12%should not control the other 88!! The thugs and their tactics make them look like the low class bums they are!! They need to practice their skill set in a meritocracy!!

    Compete , compete!! But NO, they and their Reps are scared!! These Dem senators are FLEEBAGGERS!!

  • Comment removed

  • Public sector employees make an average of 8% lower wages than there private sector counter parts. People are so misinformed. Walker reduced taxes on the rich and the businesses to help increase the state deficit. Now he wants to take away money from hard working public employees to pay for his previous bill. Sounds like democracy to you? Think about it.
