I wonder if Scott Walker had any idea what kind of firestorm he was unleashing when he tried to repair Wisconsin's budget. This may be the right state for the showdown, though. Wisconsinites can be very truculent when they find that outsiders are messing with their state.

Who are these "Working people?"

Is it only people that are part of a union? Or is it the millions of folks across the U.S.A. that work too?

I go to work and get paid... I must be a "working people."

We are witnessing the death throws of the “private” sector Unionista’s and the liberal democrat socialist who cannot survive without the hundreds of millions of Unionista members dues being funneled to them, to buy their elections.

The enemy always fight the hardest, throwing everything thing they have left, just before they are defeated!

The free ride on the public gravy-train is over for the Unionista’s, watch your step getting off!

Gov Walker spent 8 years as a manager and had a lot of experience dealing with the unions. He knows how they operate and I'm sure that nothing that has happened, or will happen, has caught him unaware.

How appropriate that these anarchists are holding their “school” on April Fools’ Day!

Wow— can’t wait to see what they have in store for May 1st-— that sacred holiday for international commies, marxists, leftists and unionistas in solidarity.

They are framing the debate as the middle class vs “the rich.” The debate is between the public sector unions and the rest of us taxpayers. “The Rich” don’t pay more. They are the producers. Any increase in costs are passed on to the consumer. The middle class taxpayer is trying to make the public sector wages and benefits equivalent to what we are paying or being paid.
