REVOLT!: STATES LEAD THE WAY (Is it Possible??)
Dick Morris .com ^ | Feb 23 ,2011 | Dick Morris And Eileen McGann

Posted on 02/24/2011 9:26:24 AM PST by Hojczyk

As predicted in Revolt! (Dick’s and Eileen’s new book) – States Lead the Way Toward Reform

It is not only the Arab world that is in turmoil! Reform Governors like Scott Walker (Wisconsin), John Kasich (Ohio), Mitch Daniels (Indiana), Tom Corbett (Pennsylvania), Butch Otter (Idaho), and Rick Scott (Florida) are leading a movement for fundamental change in America.

In Revolt!, Morris and McGann’s new book, they describe how newly elected Republican Governors – impelled by their budget crises and empowered with GOP Legislatures – will accomplish sweeping changes in our politics.

Read how:

* Republican Governors will destroy the political base of the Democratic Party by ending automatic dues deductions from paychecks by unions.

* GOP Legislatures will strip teachers of tenure, end seniority based pay, enact merit pay, and promote school choice, dramatically eroding the power of the teachers’ unions.

* Collective bargaining reforms will free school boards and principals to run their schools and end union control.

* State fiscal problems will force them into bankruptcy. And, in bankruptcy, they can cancel all union contracts.

For all the changes coming in Washington, the Tea Party revolution’s most important changes will be at the state level. Good-bye AFT, SEIU, AFSME, NEA!

all the national union leaders should be rounded up and jailed for RICO violations.

Sadly some Republicans like Mitch Daniels are cowards.

The Govnernors who are/planning on doing this need to take the actions by the Wisconsin and Indiana Democrats as a lesson and assign a State Patrol Officer to each Dem to keep them from becoming future members of the Fleeparty!

Mitch Daniels is a RINO coward and pal of the RINO Bush clan.

Old Ma Barker Bush “don’t” like Palin but she and Poppy love Bill Clinton. He is a like a son to them according to Ma Barker Bush.

Hmmm... just thought of something.

If they’re going to try to get automatic dues deductions eliminated,

the HR should go right along with this and get automatic withholding eliminated.

Require everyone to write a check by the first of the month for their estimated income and payroll taxes.

I know it would be a pain in the backside,
but it what it would accomplish would be WELL worth the trouble.

Exactly. I wouldn't include him in this group of "reformers."

"White Flag Eunuchs" would be a more apt group for him.

Just strip them of their citizenship and deport them to the worker’s paradise of Cuba.

While I haven’t read the book, I’ve long advocated the principle “JUST DON’T”. That is; just don’t cooperate, take the maximum deductions you can, pay your taxes (if you must pay) at the last possible moment, refuse to cooperate with government whenever possible. Force the federal government to grind to a halt.

This whole fight is really over the witholding of dues (and subsequent revenue stream to the Democrat Party). The unions are gonna throw their protesters under the bus eventually by agreeing to wage and benefit cuts....the morons!

By enacting right to work it will cause the the unions to loose a lot of members, and thereby $$$$$. Cutting the money flow to the democrat party from union coffers.

Morris needs to strike Mitch Daniels from his list or his credibility in pimping his new book is totally shot. Daniels is a worm.
