Wisc. Public Employees Invest in Koch-Owned Company

[Nachum]

The vitriol from protesting Wisconsin workers towards the Kochs emerged quickly and intensely. Signs ranging between lame and vulgar (often both) dot the public-union marches.

[Bronzy]

Hurry, send a message to them all to divest.

[Bronzy]

Made money for investors, perhaps?

the Kochs have become this generation’s Haliburton.

[glock rocks]

Exactly. They prospered as capitalists. The Dagny Taggerts and Hank Reardons despised by the collective parasites.

Excerpt from the article:

“... here’s the challenge: Explain to a Wisconsin state worker that they are the ones helping fund the Koch brothers. Then sit back and watch the fun.”

He, he. Cut Koch out of their portfolio.

They became the new whipping boys b/c Bush, Palin, Limbaugh, Beck, Chamber of Commerce, etc. didn't work.

And when this fails too, there'll be someone else they'll dredge up.

Excerpt from article:

... According to the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), the Wisconsin Retirement System owns $5.5 million in Georgia Pacific corporate bonds. (Georgia Pacific is owned by Koch Industries.) This is the retirement system in which the overwhelming majority of state and local employees participate. These are the pension benefits that public employees are trying so hard to protect.

So here's the challenge: Explain to a Wisconsin state worker that they are the ones helping fund the Koch brothers. Then sit back and watch the fun.

Omigosh! That is so totally rich! lol

Maybe that will be the topic at the next union meeting. ;o)

Thank you both for the ping and post.

[dixiechick2000]

BTW...I love the new media and the interwebs. lol

The parasites on taxpayers should be told the reduced $ figure that is available this year for their salaries.

Let them ‘collectively bargain’ amongst themselves over what percentage of layoffs will be needed vs pay cuts.

[justice14]

Really don’t suprise me. They don’t have any moral absolutes so why wouldn’t they invest money into something they “say” they disagree with?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Rush is talking about this just now. Hehe!

[WOBBLY BOB]

I’m betting anti-abortion taxpayers are forceably paying a lot more to fund Planned Parenthood and abortions than union members are to fund Koch investments.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Nachum.

Hey there Diana, being from WI and living where I can hear Madison and Milwaukee radio, I’ve been hearing the lame radio attacks against our brave governor. The attack ad I refer to is the “prank call” ad from the lefty pretending to be (impersonating) one of the Koch bros. and he is speaking to the governor.

Now my question is, 1) isn’t it illegal to tape another person (the gov) over the phone without their knowledge?
and

2) Isn’t it illegal to impersonate another person (Mr.Koch) over the phone?

Then these lefty loons both impersonate Mr.Koch,tape the gov. and of course increase their sin and malice by making an absurdly stupid attack ad and air it many times over local radio.

Now, doesn’t someone, like the gov., have standing to sue for using his voice over the radio in an attack ad against himself? And doesn’t Mr.Koch have some grounds for suing for being impersonated?

I don’t know, it just seems like this ad is not something that can possibly be legal, even if the gov. is a “public figure” and not allowed the same privacy as others.

Any thoughts on this? I want to run this by Vicki M too. I don’t see how these lefty thugs can run such devious ads without any response from “the good guys”.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, our LefTard Dane County DA said he wasn’t filing charges against ANYONE over this ‘prank phone call’ but he’s ‘deeply concerned’ that Governor Walker would even CONSIDER sending agitators into the fray! *SPIT*

This is a watershed moment in Wisconsin. If Governor Walker can get this stuff crammed down the throats of the LibTards and help our state at ALL levels, we are GOLDEN and everything else will be easy.

And of course, the LibTards will also benefit from an improved economy and the righting of this ship; but they’ll never thank him or US - the taxpayers!

I truly believe he picked ‘this hill to die on’ as his first act as Governor. If he can pull this off, we are well on our way to a whole and healthy state economy again. :)

The jury is still out...Oh, not the REAL jury; i.e. the VOTERS. They HAVE spoken, but you’ve got to realize that this is ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’ we’re dealing with and all opinons are welcomed...if they are the same as the rest of the liberal, unwashed cows, LOL!

[TheConservativeParty]

I am praying for the safety of our governor, good folks like Glenn Grothman, Vicki,any conservative who walks the grounds of the capital, and all who are targets of the evil lefties.

I am also more and more angry that the 14 dem cowards are obstructing the budget fix bill, and other good bills.

How can grown (?) men (?) run away to Illinois just because they don’t like that they lost power in the election?

(rhetorical question....since they are libtards and do whatever they please since they have no morals at all)

We waited many years for good conservatives to be elected in WI, and now we have to wait for 14 commies to come home and take a vote?

This is what true disenfranchisement IS!!!

We voted, they lost, and now they obstruct what we want done!

They all belong in prison, yet I hear they have done nothing jail-able.

It’s unbearable.

Mahoney is a real gem (SPIT!). Nice to know my tax dollars are paying that asshat. I used to be annoyed at the teachers union, now I despise them. The more these unions obstruct, the more info we get about the lavish pay and bennies they all get while we suffer paying for their kingly existances. I hope they all get fired.

These thugs will reap what they have sown. All in good time. The next round of elections will see more libs booted out. More than half the state is on our side and we are winning more to our side everyday this circus is on parade. Good folks know evil when they see it. Voters who sat it out in Nov. will vote in 2012 and they will vote for the side of good goverment.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well said! I LOATHE Mahoney. Kathlleen Falk’s lapdog and boot-licker. *SHUDDER*

Can’t wait until SHE is gone...one more month! The fog will clear when she’s gone...and the new CE (Eileen B.) will put in place some decent, conservative LAW ENFORCERS who actually ENFORCE the law! :)
