#Wisconsin #Union vs. #GOP?

As it turns out, this is not really about Wisconsin, not especially about the Unions, either. This is about the control of the working population in the United States of America.
The land of the free…it appears is only free when you are very rich.
A lot of people look down on the union, blaming unions for making prices higher, for the manufacturing to move overseas to seek cheaper workers. It would seem that many people do not understand that if someone doesn’t stand up for the working people, especially unions, all people who work and earn any wage at all are at risk. The reason you have a living wage now is not because of the companies good heart, not because management saw that you and your children had to work sixteen hours a day for food and shelter, not because they did not know.
The companies do not care. The company is only in business to make profit, if it comes at the expense of your life, too bad, so sad, there are more starving people where you come from.
The company does not even care if it is making profit. It want to make more, companies are greedy by their very nature. If they can make a penny more off you, they do not care if you go without heat. Companies have no conscience.

The only way to keep companies and corporations from exploiting all peoples is to be united. The only way to fight money is to overpower it with people. The only way to secure your rights, what few we have left, is to protest, to strike, to stop work. If you want that to be successful, you must get more than one person or two involved. You must have thousands. Hence, a union to protect peoples rights.

Why have we let the powers that be in power? How could have so many so-called sane people voted for them? I know in our case, we did not. But the voting machines say we do. The machines were proven to be rigged before, what would make Americans believe it hasn’t been so again.. What they got by with once, they will attempt to do so again. These are the people that are running and ruining our lives.
What is absolutely amazing is that so many people are still so stupid that they believe what these paid mercenaries are telling them. Rather like the old adage, if you tell someone something long enough, and with enough emphasis, they will believe you, even when it is patently obvious it is against their own best interests.

Well, we had traitors in the Revolutionary war that sided with England. Now, we have traitors in the civil war with the Rich Autocrats, would be dictators who are well on their way.
It started with Reagan, and continues to this day.
When are Americans going to wise up and say no more?

Cheryl Burke, American Idol, Lauren Alaina, Girl Scout Cookies and Chris Medina ... No wonder our country is in such bad shape when the health of the economy, jobs... all the 'be afraid' factors and 'be concerned' factors out there, it is amazing that these phrases are the top trending searches.
There are protests in Egypt, and many other places, wars all over the world, our own and others. We have floods, snowstorms, drought and disaster
We wonder just who won American Idol this week?
Economic collapse, political murders, suicide bombers, government misconducts...ours and others. We have countries splitting, countries evolving, governments devolving.
Well...just what did they put in the Girl Scout Cookies that makes them bad for you?
Unemployment is rampant, banks are foreclosing right and left on people, making them homeless, jobs are in the dumper, making people homeless, the mental institutions are already closed (thank you very much, Mr. Regan) and we are making laws that the homeless are now not only homeless, but "You cannot stay here!" You are now homeless, and jobless.
By Republican standards, now you are worthless. But they will sell you a gun.
Well, well, well....just look at that Cheryl Burke. Look who has written a book now.
With all the attention we pay to our politics and our country, is it any wonder we can be led down the garden path by all the cable news networks. Do we REALLY want our country to be run this way? Do we REALLY want to deny health insurance for transplant patience? Do we REALLY want our mental health institutions shut down?
Do we REALLY want to encourage class warfare amongst our citizens?
It doesn't matter what we REALLY want. This is what we have. Right here, Right now.
Way to go, America. Way to go USA.
