Wisconsin reforms are WORKING! What was the leftist solution to a $3.7 billion budget short fall? Tax the rich! Yet that wouldn't even make a dent. Tax the corporations? First, we see it first hand in IL. Corporations will leave UNLESS they get a backdoor tax deal. The results in IL is corporations like Caterpillar, Novastar, Groupon, Motorolla, Sears, John Deere, etc now pay less in taxes! That would happen in WI.
This short video explains what led up to the need for reform and the results!

Either link the special deal CAT got or admit you're LYING out of your ass.
Not only did CAT not get any special deals, they invested ONE BILLION more dollars in their Illinois plants.
Press Release
Although Oberlehman said there were no deals cut to keep Caterpillar in Illinois, he likely got some face-to-face assurances from Quinn that the governors office would take steps to address the companys concerns about the states business climate.

Claims that the Wisconsin budget cuts "are working" are completely beside the point. As has been pointed out before (to no effect, because conservative politics isn't fact-based so pointing out facts generally accomplishes little), the unions had ALREADY AGREED to all of the proposed budget cuts BEFORE Gov. Walker and his cronies in the legislature passed their union-gutting act.
The issue is not the state budget. The issue is the rights of working people. Restoring the rights of working people will neither improve nor worsen the problems of the state budget.
He needs to be recalled if for no other reason then to send a message that there are consequences to negating any right no matter the situation or rationalization.

None of the rights of the working people are being threatened in any way. One does not have the right to collectively bargain.
you do by contract if you've negotiated for it.
the issue hads zip to do with money. the unions in wisconsin agreed to all the financial demands. it has to do with union busting. that is the only goal.

Walker never ran on destroying union rights in WI. The recall is a result of that.

No public worker should have collective bargaining rights.
Public employees SERVE THE PUBLIC....Their unions serve themselves. Their unions use their money and power to influence elections to place in office politicians who are favorable to unions. The politicians rubber stamp tax increases by the bucket loads to pay public workers far above market wages and give them gold plated benefits.
No public servant should come out better off than those they are paid to serve.

Where in the Constitution does it say 'and the right to collective bargaining'?

The constitution is not the entirety of our laws, many times in our history questions of rights have been settled by the congress and the courts, it is called "settled law" and until recently it was very bad form to overturn long standing precedent. It will happen again and again, our rights being nibbled away a bit at a time while we are distracted by partisan bullshit.

No problem, throwing the tax burden onto the backs of workers who have no right to collectively confront exploitation in the workplace and no representation or protection in government is all part of the master plan.
