Like unions or not, this issue is about ONE thing only: The Citizen's United Supreme Court decision and Republican electoral dominance.
All of these people cheering on Scott Walker fail to acknowledg
e several things:
1. Public sector unions were tolerated and even embraced by conservati
ves for GENERATION
S. Even now, Scott Walker isn't concerned about Wisconsin'
s LARGEST and most expensive public sector union--the police and fireman's union. It is probably just a coincidenc
e that union supported his candidacy.
2. Private sector employers have absolutely no trouble lobbying for massive infusions of public cash-- then using taxpayer cash to further lobby for more taxpayer cash. That only concerns Walker when there's a chance taxpayer cash may wind up in the pockets of his political opponents.
3. Wisconsin'
s budgetary crisis was solved and CAUSED by Walker. Anyone who bothered to pay attention would have noticed that revenue only cratered when Walker passed massive tax giveaways for corporatio
ns and Walker's political supporters
. This 'Crisis Capitalism
' is a very familiar technique Republican
s have used all across the United States--de
liberately start a raging budgetary inferno and expect to be praised for putting it out.
4. Right-wing schemes ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fail... Spectacula
rly. About the only thing the GOP has ever successful
ly created is a list of lame excuses.
