THE RIGHT WING AT WAR WITH AMERICA

So its tax breaks for millionaires and austerity and budget cuts for programs that support the working and middle class. That my friends is the republican vision of America.

The right wing had no problem bailing out Wall Street millionaires and America's wealthiest bankers. Republicans had no problem holding unemployment benefits hostage until they obtained a ransom in the form of a tax breaks for the wealthiest 2% of Americans but when it comes to the rights of average American working folks, the hard working, real everyday people who built this country, who are the very backbone of it...well the right wing's answer is let them eat cake. To be sure, these people, America's working & middle class, go to work everyday and are in no way asking for a bailout or handout. They simply want to maintain their right to collectively bargain. It's as American as apple pie.

In the face of all of this, how these right wingers ever get anyone who works for a living to vote for them, especially if they wear a blue collar is baffling. Perhaps what is happening in Wisconsin will finally wake up working and middle class Americans everywhere to the fact that the republican right wing is not on your side. They never have been and they never will be. You don't make enough money for them to care.

Take a look at the video and tell me after watching it if you think that the right wing can win a war waged on television against the heart of America? I don't think the visuals favor the right wingers.



Make no mistake the right wing is at war with America and America needs to fight back.

Should this bill stripping public employees of the right to collectively bargain pass, in the short term these workers should shut it down. Just shut the state down for a week to remind the governor and those who support him how important these people and the work that they do are. In the longer term and more importantly they should look to organize politically and change the legislature and the governor to those who would value and support the working and middle class and not look to balance the budget on their backs.

Failing that, the large whooshing sound you should hear, if they had any sense and dignity at all, would be the sound of thousands of Wisconsin's professional public employees, firefighters, police, teachers, nurses, sanitation Workers, transit workers, prison workers among them leaving the state to find employment where their talents and their rights are more fully respected.
