[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

This is a classic tune, by Woody Guthrie.

How come you didn't upload the entire song? Would YT not allow it?

[tasedlak]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam

This is the actual track on the cd. Being a union man, a wobbly, I also wish it were the full version.

[Beatnikzombie]

Governor Walker is trying to screw us all. I'm damn pissed.

@Beatnikzombie

It's unfortunate that union consciousness has mostly died. This is precisely the song that the protesters should be singing at the capitol, but none of the attendees know it. Someone attempted to get people singing Solidarity Forever inside the capitol, but people had trouble even joining in for the chorus. Damn the red scare!

God bless the union and the nobility of labour - we can bring it back.

[MikeMandaville]

Budman, thank you for giving the source of the melody. I will check it out.

@Squirrlyburt So you solve this buy screwing over the working class while still letting corporations and the top 1% earners practically escape taxes while being subsidized by the tax dollars of the very people they're trying to screw out of bargaining rights. And some how this is going to provide SUSTAINABILITY? Yeah it'll protect a job that will pay you less, strip you of benefits, and guarantee nothing except once you're wrung out you'll be ejected. No thanks!

How about Woodie Guthrie not giving proper credit for the music for this song??? This music is written by Kerry Mills in 1907 called Red Wing Polka, lyrics by Thruland Chattaway....  yep, copyright long expired or never existed, but credit is still due.... so who is ripping off who???

[mikerickson01]

Is that Lee Hayes and Pete Seeger coming in on the chorus? 0:20

@Squirrlyburt Bullshit.; Screwing the middle class isn't the answer. Perhaps taxing the rich and the big corporations would be an idea. But that would mean this asshole would have to screw his friends and benefactors.

@Squirrlyburt

Yes, thanks to capitalism for allowing some people to live in the middle class while forcing millions here and billions abroad into abject poverty.

You and the propaganda of the rich can try to drown out the people's message, but you'll fail, as evidenced in the Middle East and in my hometown of Madison, WI. Continue to worship the ruling elite and the hogwash they spout to justify the inequalities they create but don't expect to find any supporters in a group of Guthrie fans.

@Squirrlyburt

While WI's budget hole of $3 billion seems like a lot, it's just 1.2 percent of the state's $244 billion economy. WI's GDP ranks54th in the world, between the United Arab Emirates and Finland.

There's plenty of money. It's just that Walker wants to give it to the rich instead of the rest, like the $140 million in tax cuts he just gave to corporations.

Combined, the US state budget deficits are projected at $112 billion for 2011. $150 billion will be spent in Iraq & Afghanistan.

@tasedlak - say that to the BILLIONS of people who live far worse lives than any union person in the United States. It was "capitalism" which permitted millions of people to live middle class to above middle class existences with guaranteed jobs. It is a travesty in this day and age to see so many people not understand that a direct result of the wealth creation brought on was the entire uplifiting of a society. Your message is being drowned out by those of us who understand this.
