the truth emerges in wisconsin fight

[Crux]

Scott Walker is doing exactly what he promised he would do if he was elected during his campaign, something that should be commended. Any anger should be directed at the majority of the voting public of Wisconsin for putting a dickhead in office.

If Walker made promises to do what he's doing, it wasn't to the voters of Wisconsin. To the voters of Wisconsin, he did not promise to break unions, but now he's going all out to do so. To the voters of Wisconsin, he didn't promise to push the state into a budget deficit, which he did. To the voters of Wisconsin, he didn't promise to seize dictatorial power over state resources, which he's now attempting to do by way of the bill he's pushing with Republican support in the state legislature. If Walker made promises to do what he's doing, it was behind closed doors, and made with the oligarchs who now are making a play for the wealth of Wisconsin. What Walker is doing is kleptocracy in action, and, at the very least, deserves no commendation.

...and as far as the absent Democrats are concerned, collective bargaining is (literally) a human rights issue. There's no obligation for them to "follow orders" here and participate in a kangaroo procedure. Blow it out your ass, teabaggers.

Seems to be the current logic floating around.

 

Just remember my fine fellow politicians we were voted into office by the fine citizens of this free country; therefore, we are duly entitled to behave as unethically and illegally as we want to, and to hold the citizens duly responsible for the legislation that we passed allowing the banks to conduct unregulated practices that caused the great depression II.

 

The New York Times reported: "Representative Stephen Lynch, Democrat of Massachusetts, warned: 'You think regulation is costly? How about the $7trillion we just lost from not regulating the derivatives markets?'"

That sure saved me a long winded post regarding the Kurious Kase of the Koch Smokers.

 

Bottom line: ya better tax the shit out of the wealthy before talkin about reducing a large % of the middle class to the poverty level to claim any moral ground whatsoever. Sorry, otherwise you're a sociopathic fleecing artist who shouldn't be within a hundred miles of an elected position, given your goal of ass fucking the public out of whatever you can.
