100,000 PLUS in Madison today?

[Wicked Jester]

This is for you George. Read it, and take it all in..........It's the absolute truth.

For decades the Democraps have had a good gig buying the votes of government workers with outrageous salaries, benefits and work rules.....and then sticking productive earners with the bill. But now, that bullshit is coming to an end.........And it's about friggin' time!

And doing so via PS Unions where the TAXPAYER has no seat at the table. We have extortion, And Money laundering as a matter of course by the Democrats, and the UNIONS.

All participants belong in JAIL.

It IS outright extortion of the taxpayers.........It's disgusting.

Public sector employees should have never been allowed to unionize, PERIOD!

And Oddly? They remain silent to the words of George Meany, and their profit FDR...that BOTH warned against it.

 

[Jack Fate]

The Haymarket bombing delayed the attainment of the 40 hour work week for years according to labor leaders of the time.

False-flag operations from both sides in Wisconsin could change the dynamic in ways we can't imagine right now.

Rhetorical question:

You do realize that it is no longer 1886 and the state of labor laws is quite different now, don't you?

The WI protestors are not striking due to harsh working conditions. They just want MORE...at the expense of taxpayers who earn far less than they do.

How noble.

Wisconsin workers are not going to sacrifice their collective bargaining rights for Wall Street. I'm pretty sure you don't care, but I wonder if you even know how many Wisconsin workers have died in pursuit of workers rights that we all take for granted today.

Like week-ends.
Paid vacations.
Overtime pay.

Robert LaFollette understood this a hundred years ago, and, apparently, it's a lesson Scott Walker and Wall Street need to re-learn today.

"The great issue before the American people today is the control of their own government.

"In the midst of political struggle, it is not easy to see the historical relations of the present Progressive movement. But it represents a conflict as old as the history of man — the fight to maintain human liberty, the rights of all people.” — Robert M. La Follette, 1912"

Maybe Charles and David want a return to 19th century labor standards. If so, they picked the wrong state to start in.

Wisconsin is exactly the right state to start in. We won. Oh, and you can stop with the "wall street" crap. This has nothing to do with corporations or wall street. Anything else? I thought not. Move on and take you damn propaganda sign about "for the kids" with you.

 

[georgephillip]

I guess the 100,000 who showed up in Madison yesterday didn't get your memo.

Maybe you and David Koch should deliver it in person?

You could explain how Wall Street bears no responsibility for revenue shortfalls in states across the country.

Maybe Tom Friedman will loan you a golden straitjacket for your retirement.

This fight has just started.

 

[boedicca]

Bring it moron.

Union membership is less than 12% of the labor force. The rest of us are sick of paying for your low productivity worthless asses.

Public-sector trade union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

A public-sector trade union (or public-sector labor union) is a trade union which primarily represents the interests of employees within public sector (government-owned, supported or regulated) organizations. Public sector unions have become some of the larger or more influential unions in certain areas of the world in recent times due to easier corporate opposition to private-sector unions.


Now see the Government owned and supported or regulated part ? This government gets the money to pay thees public sector unions from tax payers who are broke. Tax payers who enjoy none of the benefits that thees unions do. So, in reality the 100,000 that supposedly showed up are demanding that they get to keep all the exclusive perks that the folks who pay them dont get ? They can continue to import there protesters but in the end the union bank robbers are going to fail and have to buck up and starte paying there bills.

The biggest bank robbers are on Wall Street or working for the Federal Reserve. Do you remember hearing about the inflation and collapse of housing and credit bubbles?

Many taxpayers in Wisconsin do.
Especially those living in Milwaukee which lost 80% of its manufacturing jobs between 1977 and 2002.

That was before Wall Street's latest looting.

How has Wall Street and the richest 1% of Americans done during the last two years? Much better than Wisconsin firefighters.

The richest 1% have increased their share of total US wealth by two full percentage points, and they show no signs of stopping.

When Wall Street hit the fan in 2008, Republicans AND Democrats made a choice to borrow from the richest individuals and corporations in this country instead of taxing them.

Wisconsin teachers, firefighters, students and farmers aren't planning to pay for Wall Street's crimes.

Why are you?

Fight? What fight? I don't see a fight; all I see is a crowd of whining, sniveling crybabies having a temper tantrum because someone took away their extortion racket! Hurt their poor widdle feelings! What's the matter, someone took your extra piece of candy? Poor babies! As for how scary organized labor is, ask any of your union goons how they fared trying to force unions down our throats down here in flyover country; the locals eat smart-mouthed big-city Yankees for breakfast; chew 'em up, spit 'em out, and have a swig of whiskey to get the foul taste out of their mouth.

 

[boedicca]

It's specious reasoning to assert that opposition to public employee union collusion with career politicians is support of The Federal Reserve - Big Bank collusion.

Clarence Darrow

Lots of honky's in that crowed.

How Big Was That Crowd?

"It was the largest political rally ever in Madison.

"And it was one of the largest pro-labor rallies in American history.

"From the start, the numbers have told the story of Wisconsin’s resistance, and its resilience.

"The tens.

"The hundreds.

"The thousands.

"The tens of thousands.

"The hundreds of thousands.

"Wisconsinites from every background, every religion, every politics and every job have filled the Capitol Square for the past month."

Anything from an actually unbiased, preferably scientifically verifiable source on the numbers? No.

And the TAXPAYER has no representation at the table. When the Politician that negociated such an agreement leaves, voted OUT of office? that agreement is in force, and that politician isn't held to account for the bad practice...and the taxpayer is held to PAY for the poor judgement.

Taxpayers have their elected representatives at the table.

Where's your representation on Wall Street?

Or the Fed?

Do you think it's coincidental that Republicans AND Democrats have manipulated tax and spending policies over the last two years that have nearly doubled the richest 5% of the population's share of returns to wealth?

Unions have problems.
Corrupt leaders among the gravest.

Unions did not bring the world's economy to the brink of collapse in 2008. Bankers did. And they are setting up the next big sting as we speak.

When it breaks, who will you blame?

Unwed immigrant mothers working for the SEIU?

 

[Mini 14]

I don't know how many people were there yesterday, but I do know one thing:

No matter how many it was, it wasn't enough to bring collective bargaining back from the dead.

Better luck next time, lemmings. You gave it a good shot!

Wall Street isn't footing the bill, bub. Average middle class people are paying for these Greedy Slobs via income and property taxes.

Which bill is Wall Street footing?

Wasn't there a $4 trillion public bailout of Wall Street recently.

Between 1977 and 2002 Milwaukee lost 80% of its manufacturing jobs. Do you think it's likely greedy slobs in public unions or Bank of America had more to do with that?

Are you so insulated you don't realize that over the past thirty five years the richest of the rich in this country have taken an ever increasing share of the productivity increases generated by middle class workers?

The bill for Wall Street's disinvestment in US production over the last three decades has now come due, and you expect public workers to pay it?

I can't say I'm surprised.

Not if they "short" the company's stock.
