More on Winsconsin
   
Brass tacks... to brass tacks...

The action is ongoing. The teachers are not going back to work for the rest of the week. There were also thirty thousand people on the streets TODAY. Now I want you, my dear reader, to read that again. There were ThIRTY THOUSAND people on the streets today. This is quite possibly the largest action in a generation.

Now historically, from what people are telling Ed Shultz, this is the most people have seen in over fifty years. This is not a minor thing. This is the tip of the spear where WORKERS start to fight back. This is the tip. Now I must add, as a historian I have read on the Haymarket Affair

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_affair

I have also read on the ten and eight hour movements.

http://www.berwickacademy.org/millgirls/ten_hour.htm

and the eight hour a day movement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day

I know that this just as big as those. I also know that workers are starting to realize that if we do not fight back, we will be working from dawn to dusk, and children will go back to the factories. Nothing will stop the return of indentured servitude and slavery. We are, I am not kidding, at a point where we fight back... or all those gains from our forefathers will be taken away.

There is no right you have, unless you are willing to fight for it.

Workers, it is time to chose, what side are you on?

I will continue to blog as I learn more about this. But just like we saw history last week in Egypt, we are watching the most important fight of organized labor in the modern United States. So the time to stand on the sidelines is very much over.

Oh and to our elected leaders in DC... better figure this out fast. Or you too will be left in the dust when it settles.

I saw that. Ha!  Also, she put 30k thousand in the subject of one of her screeds. People told her that equals 3 million, but know-it-all Nadin dismissed those responses as attacks

On, Winsconsin! The portly Ms. Abbott is the rare individual who can cause a word's spelling to go awry somewhere between "copy" and "paste".

[formerlurker]

The bill, which also bans collective bargaining rights for teachers, requires educators to contribute 5.8 percent to their pensions and 12.6 percent to their health care. Currently, educators pay 0.2 percent for their pensions and 4 to 6 percent of their health care costs.

What????!!!!!   Those bastards!!!


 

[jukin]

Doing a poor job teaching children for 9 months a year does not entitle you to become a millionaire.

[Karin]

That was some funny shit there about Omaha.  

ThIRTY THOUSAND people on the streets today. This is quite possibly the largest action in a generation.

 Pffff, the Teaparty outdid that several times over in DC, twice.  People had to travel a long way, too.  

The more I hear and think about the highschool and even younger kids being yanked out of school by their teachers and sent to rabble rouse with them, the more it makes my blood boil.  WTF is going on here?  Coupla soundbites on Rush showed they didn't even know why they were there, (or who or what they were, they were sooooo stupid).  Is all this OK with all the parents?  I just can't believe how outrageous this is.

H5 and amen Karin. I'd be raising holy hell if I were a parent in the district(s). 

[JohnnyReb]

While out on strike the state should call it UNPAID LEAVE.

[AllosaursRus]

We got anybody up there? I just heard they're busing in people from out of state! The DNC and ObieOne are callin' for this!

Sure would be nice to have pics of the buses!

If I could afford it, I'd go to counter protest! Out of staters have no knife in this fight! Go back home SEIU, ya ****in' thugs!

ETA:

The Governor should fire all these asshats just like Reagan did with the Air Traffic Controllers! He's not asking anything extraordinary here at all! The private sector doesn't get bennies like this!

[Chris_]

While out on strike the state should call it UNPAID LEAVE.

If they can prove they were there, I don't see why not.

[DefiantSix]

While out on strike the state should call it UNPAID LEAVE take a page from the Gipper's play book:  Call it "Termination for Cause".

fixt, sir.

The unions have buses sending people to Madison.  Of course, it's not like I had to put that in here or anything.  We know how the union thugs work.

[Traveshamockery]

I think I found a picture of Nadin at one of those topless protests.  Don't worry, no boobies are present in this picture.

Egypt will not happen in Madison... unless all of the protesters are bussed in.

Ya know Nada, I think ya might be right on this one, tho not in the outcome ya think, stooooopid!

[Rebel]

I'm gonna post a conversation I'm having with a so-called "academic" that so-called graduated from Memphis and is a so-called professor:

A midwest governor angering organized labor.  Thank god for Scott Walker.

Asking them to contribute a FRACTION to their own healthcare and retirement. Oh THE HORROR!

It's either that or fire people. The state can't print their own money and, Constitutionally, they HAVE to balance their budget. What is YOUR Communistic f'n plan? Tax the hell out of the rich? They're taxed to death already. You DO know that the public jobs are PAID for by the private sector's taxes, right? You DO realize that once the private companies pack up and leave, they will suffer even more, right?

Never f'n mind. Of course you don't. You're an academic. Idiots like you are what fuked up Detroit. Idiots like you are trying to turn the entire NATION into Detroit. High taxation kills incentive which produces less revenue that leads to less funding for the public sector.

....but there's no "educating" a career academic. Their brains are already f'n scrambled.

As usual, you and reality have never met.  A state worker making $45000 per year is being asked to take a hit to their pay to the tune of about $4000 per year.  That is on top of the $100MM state workers already conceded in recent years.  

Got a link to back that up, Josef?

BTW, I contribute a HELLUVA lot more when you add up health insurance, dental, in-case-this-****-happens vision, and my 401K, and my retirement isn't NEARLY as attractive as theirs. If I live in Wisconsin, as a private citizen, I also have to pick up THEIR benefits as well?

SCREW THAT.

Damn teachers.  They're just raking it in, aren't they?

45K for 9 months of work, with free healthcare, dental, vision, and retirement?

Yeah, I'd say they were.

BTW, that 45K is bullsh1t. My best friend has been a teacher in the CCBOE for only 4 years and is making 55K....in GEORGIA. After only 4 years. At 55K. In GEORGIA.

Average state worker in Wisconsin makes just over $48K.  Like I said, they're really raking it in.

That's a big f'n average. I'm assuming you know what "average" means.

BTW, you never told us how you, in all your "experience", would have dealt with this financial crisis in Wisconsin. How are they to balance the budget? I'd really like to know this. Come on. Let's have a dialogue. Tell us, with all your wisdom, how they get out of their situation. How Illinois gets out of theirs. How California gets out of theirs. How New Yo....well, you get the picture.

It is not a "big f'n average" given that the state hires many degreed workers.  Anyone with a functional brain would know that, but that excludes you.

As for how to fix Wisconsin's woes, that would take a lot of time and information to address; but I know that I wouldn't start with middle-class state workers and an attempt to bust their unions which does nothing to solve the looming crisis.

You claim to be some economic genius, fk that, I'm not letting you punt. Tell us what you'd do. ..and yes, 48K IS a high average.

Any of you liberal ***** lurkers wanna answer the question? This "academic" doesn't seem to be able to.

[AllosaursRus]

This guy is a lyin' cocksucker! Ask him what he makes! Also, the Governor is only askin' them to pay one half of what those of us in the private sector already pay! What does he have to say about that????

[Evil_Conservative]

My husband makes less than $48K a year and pays more than 12% out of his salary for our health insurance & retirement plan.  Wisconsin public workers are spoiled little babies.

[dandi]

nadin also felt a great disturbance in the force . Either that or she put new batteries in her "toy".

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of moonbats suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly deleted."
