I can't help it. Please post this. My brain is exploding about this Walker and his fucking supporters. This shit has got to stop!!!!!
Tea Party shits are saying "The gravy train is over" and airhead Palin says that we, the people getting screwed by Walker, must be "willing to make sacrifices." OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! Did she really say that? The buffoon who quit her job to make gagillions in speaking engagements and the like is telling me, a hard working underpaid teacher, to make sacrifices. WTF
"Gravy train"??? What gravy train? Was there one and I missed it? No. There was no gravy train for us teachers. There isn't one now. How the hell does this misinformation get out there?
Walker says that the state is in a fiscal crisis. He says that we are "broke." WE'RE NOT. Read the studies that say we have been getting much better. He didn't need to do anything. Oh, but he did decide to give businesses 140 million in tax breaks this January. And now we, the teachers and the nurses and others, have to shoulder the cost.
And what really gets me is that the vast majority of the teachers and nurses in Wisconsin are WOMEN!! Yes, Walker is doing nothing short than shitting on women to get big tax breaks for all his business buddies. Oh, but he'll give some concessions to the fire and police departments - and their mostly men!! How is this not backdoor sexism?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!???
Sorry. I had to get that out somewhere.

Glad you go it out. A shout out to teachers, my own wife is a teacher and she refused to go to school unit the union gave her the ok. al jazeera is now covering the Madison uprising, along with the other shit breaking in the Middle East. Dictators and puppets of US empire are falling like hot cakes. The tea party were out numbered 35 to 1 on Sunday. Bring em on.
ReplyDeleteWalker has fucked up now. He has gotten people mad and they are not going to take it any more.

I just can't believe that Walker refuses to talk at all about his repair bill. I mean, what kind of governance is that? Just another dumbass, white, rich, male who thinks he knows best for everyone without even consulting those he would impact.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Indiana Democrat senators are doing the same as our Democrat senators to avoid a vote on anti-union legislation.

Yep, this shit is real now. This is a battle for the life of the Democratic Party. If unions and working people go down, democratic politics is gone baby gone replaced by globalists like the Koch Bros. Time to roll up the sleeves and fight.
ReplyDeleteBad news for Walker. Two Republican governors are softening their positions concerning unions. The Indiana and Florida govs are saying that now is not the time to break up unions. And Gallop just released a national poll that said that over 60% of the people would oppose a bill the ends collective bargaining. AND another study came out saying that Wisconsin's pension system is working great - that there is no real need for the employee's to contribute.
ReplyDeleteWalker may be walking alone now. If he lays off anyone, his skies will darken fast.
Here's the bit about how healthy our pension system is in WI.
