This is many people's story in Wisconsin. The people HAVE given and given........It's time now that the big companies can pay their fair share!! We can't get any less incomes in MANY cases! Stop helping the rich get richer!!!!
This kind of creativity humanizes the debate! )) However, the ends of compassion do not justify the means of violence. Forced taxation is theft, and two wrongs don't make a right. The message of compassion in this little jewel would shine brighter without that ethical blemish. While I absolutely disagree in terms of political philosophy, I absolutely agree with the means artfully used to "bring home" the message of compassion. The non-aggression principle cannot embrace welfare through theft.
@ecklunddavid How is it theft? You have a representative in government. No? Taxation with representation. We need tax dollars to make our government run!
@maxnav12 It is theft because it is not voluntary, and thus de facto not representative. As in, if you choose not to pay it you are kidnapped ("arrested") and imprisoned. If you defend yourself against this aggression, you may be shot. Government IS monopoly on the 'right' of aggressive violence. (Corporations are legal fictions: the source of their 'right' to evil is the state! -Like being a friend of the mob.) Why have violent criminals take care of our neighbors? We (you and I) can do better!
Mark...a brilliant job! This video really tells the story of the REAL impact of this horrendous budget from Walker and his ilk...they don't really get it, I feel....so kudos to you,Mark, for your passionate defense of people's rights and their needs for compassionate care.
Powerful. Are these not "The People" the framers of our Constitution had in mind for our government to be Of, By and For? Thank you for being good and decent people.
Very moving & well done. I know the Ohlers & they are good people trying their best to make a difference in our society. I'm with you & you're in my prayers. We MUST redeem our political system in our great state for folks like them & their foster kids!
