Wisconsin Leads Us Back to the Street

Hurray !!! The people are stepping up to fight for the rights of all the people. The Conservatives are finally caught with their leanings hanging out. Let's look a little at whats happening. The newly elected Republican Governor of Wisconsin wants to end the rights of the Unions to bargain for  the things their members want and need such as retirement, medical, and rights to strike. Saying that the state can not afford it,but can give Tax Breaks to the rich and wealthy businessman with the threat of taking their jobs out of the state, which is a threat to get their way. Again the Republican with encouragement of the wealthy business men want to break up the Unions who speak for the workers. Remember that without the unions we would not have 40 hours work weeks, benefits for workers weekends off  and protection from child labor. Big business hates unions and wants the republicans, that they spend millions on to get elected, to pay them off with the laws and tax breaks to recoup their money.
 I couldn't believe that the Republican lead House wants to the endowments to PBS and NPR to end, but keep the money they give to oil companies in.  The top five profitable companies in the world are oil companies with over billions dollars in profits. Doesn't that seem a little strange public broadcasting and public radio,don't need funding but oil companies do. It's been called "Muppet Wars" but really isn't because the republicans are afraid of the Muppet's because their smarter,warm and fuzzy and better liked than they are?
Again the people are speaking out, Of the People, By the People, For the People, America got to love it
