Wisconsin is now Little Egypt, and it’s Dictator is Scott “Mubarak” Walker.
Scott Walker has taken it upon himself to introduce a budget reform to double the health care costs of his state workers (except for firemen and police officers) and also mute the voice of their unions so they have no negotiating powers (except for firemen and police officers).
This has sparked a protest at the state capital of Madison where teachers, iron workers, students, state workers, and others are gathering to show their support and to try and stop the attack on state worker’s families.
Yes, we all agree that the budget needs to be fixed. But tas a part of trying to reform the budget and grow the economy, you cannot strip the rights of your own workers. Everyone deserves a voice, and Scott Walker…. cannot mute the masses.
Why is it that when it comes to cutting benefits and salaries that politicians never talk about their own benefits and salaries?
If this bill passes, it is certain that other states will try to pass similar measures. You can see that mentality exposed by the Wis. Governor:
