Wisconsin Union Firefighters March Through Capital Rotunda

02/17/2011 - Off duty Local 311 - City of Madison firefighters along with dozens of firefighters from across the state marched through the capital rotunda in protest of Gov Walker's budget repair bill. Firefighter's who are currently exempt from any immediate change to income, health and pension felt it necessary to support the rest of the 300,000 plus state and local workers who face potential immediate repercussions from Walker's bill. If passed the bill will all but eliminate the right to collective bargaining for the workers.

You really think our Solders and Marines do their jobs for the GOOD OLE US-of-A? Alot of them do it for COLLEGE, some to just KILL PEOPLE, some do it for free life time health care.

If you got no benefits to join the military "G.I bill, VA hospitals" No One would be lining up to join the military.

But sure some of them do it for our country, even though the wars we fight have NOTHING to do with keeping AMERICANS safe from "terrorism".

@TheMango121 If you believe that teachers don't care about the kids... I'm sorry. I hope that it will someday be possible for the things that put that kind of thinking into your head to be gone. Saying that teachers don't care about the kids is like saying our soldiers don't care about America. It's what they do.

Yes I enjoy my job. I'm not working to just make a fucking paycheck like the dirt bags in this video. I enjoy waking up every morning to DO MY JOB, as my wife does also. These teachers could give a FUCK about the students, they just want the money. They make lavish salaries for half-ass work. Our school system is FAILING because of the lack of competition. We keep throwing money at education and its only getting WORSE. Money isn't the problem, lack of competition is.
