@thundaleg Hey fucktard. These are not meaningless percentages. These people get better healthcare and retirement programs then their non union neighbors who are paying the bill.

[thundaleg]

@leftgibson why don't you clarify your meaningless percentages? Try getting pissed at someone who's actually a threat to your way of life, like your senators or the plutocrats.

FROM MAINE, SOLIDARITY FOREVER WISCONSIN!

What a bunch of stupid Nanny State losers. "give me give me give me..." I thought we lived in America where you provided for yourself...IF HAVING 88% OF YOUR HEALTHCARE AND 96% OF YOUR PENSION IS SOMEHOW SO BAD THAT YOU HAVE YO TAKE TO THE STREETS TO VOICE YOUR DISPLEASURE THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND ANOTHER JOB...FUCKNG SPOILED CUNTS!!!!!!!!!

@nytech04 Step 1: Create a recession or emergency/or capitalize on emergency Step 2: find scapegoats Step 3:Use media to sway public opinion to attack targeted groups Step 4:Use emergency and scapegoats to pass laws and grant power people normally wouldn't allow Step 5: Replace public agencies with private corporations/consultants Step 6: Drive down wages, benefits, power of workers. Step 7: Monopolize sectors Step 8: Profit and control!

@nytech04 THis is all about handing over all services to corporate interests. It's called Shock therapy for our economy. It has been experimented in South America by our government for awhile now. It's about privatizing EVERYTHING. THis is NOT capitalism! You want to end up like Bolivia where 1 American corporation was in control of the entire countries water supply? Same thing is being tried in MI right now. You think it's right for a Gov. to dissolve an entire city removing elected officials?

@nytech04 I would love to take on our "liberal" (more like democrats) politicians. I would love to take on Obama. Obama is almost as bad as conservatives on many issues. And Walker is voiding existing contracts. Employees, not just public employees should all be able to collectively bargain. He is also voiding those contracts without negotiations or talks with union reps. It's a unilateral move that goes against democracy.

[nytech04]

@HabitualHobosexual The contracts said union can have collective bargaining for ever and ever? I highly doubt it, so all he is doing it saying that Gov who negotiates on the side of tax payers says you can no longer negotiate as a group on certain matters. Sort of like what most of the fed unions have with the fed govt.

You and your liberal pals apparently dont care about fed unions since then you have to take on your liberal politicians.

@nytech04 What's the use of government contracts if the Gov. can rip those contracts anytime they want to, like Walker is doing?

@nytech04 Payroll taxes are different from income and property taxes.
