Whether or not the Budget Repair Bill ultimately gets passed, the victory lies in the fact that no matter how "right" Governor Walker feels his ideas for Wisconsin are, he and those on his side are not above the law.
And in Indiana, the middle class was heard.
Said Indiana House Minority Leader Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, whose Statehouse return Monday was greeted by cheering union workers, "We won a battle, but we recognize the war goes on."
The fight goes on across the country for those of us who are tired of "sharing" the sacrifice.
Richard Thayer said, "Rather than pointing fingers of blame at unions demanding that their quality of life be reduced to the level of non-union members, we should be pointing those fingers at corporations and demanding that some of those obscene profits they’re making be paid out to their hard-working employees, the ones whose productivity and creativity are making those profits possible."
(I urge you to read what Thayer had to say in its entirety.)
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has introduced legislation imposing a surtax on households earning one million dollars or more and elimination of tax loopholes oil companies take advantage of. Now that sounds more like "shared" to me!
