Freedom of assembly is a basic right expressed by the United States Constitution. Therefore, public employees deserve to be allowed to organize to protect themselves from crooks, like Wisconsin's current chief executive. Therefore, the recent actions by said governor and his cronies in the Wisconsin State Legislature, tearing apart public employee unions, are unconstitutional.

  I totally agree with you. But the sad thing is, he doesn't care how many working people he hurts to try to get rid of Obama. What it is about is hitting the due paid to the union that will be used to help the Democratic party. It isn't bad enough that the corporations and he billionaires have the Republicans in their pockets, they are trying to stop the pittance of union dues.

  I would like to point out, that at more than one of the Obama Rallies, that people actually brought weapons. This was during the election cycle, and later on when he did his town-to-town to lobby for HealthCare.
  
  That being said, the Death Threats, being reported by FOX, seem to be legitimate. And as much, no one overtly threatened Obama during the election cycle, that I know of. The credibility of FOX is open to debate, however.

No ones rights have been taken away... in fact your rights to assemble have been more than accomodated as your marxist group of thugs occupied the capitol for days on end causing millions of dollars in damage! You want to talk about rights where is the right to work WITHOUT joining your union?

  brimancandyposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  You are so wrong about that. I belonged to a union for 15 years, and every time an election came around, our union reps sent everyone in the union a list from pros and cons from both sides. They were very anti Bush, and have always urged everyone to vote democrat. So, whomever did this poll was probably at a republican polling station.
  
  It exposed a lot of George Bushes lies when he was running against Gore, and again against Kerry. The unions in Michigan kept Jennifer Gramholm in Office, to keep out the greater evil, which is now our current republican jerk, who is attempting to follow the Wisconsin Gov, in squashing Unions here as well. You will find that most republican states are doing the same.
  
  It is an attempt to bring wages down, and line their corporate buddies pockets with the huge amounts of cash they will make by being allowed to cut the average works paychecks by a third, with no Union power to stop them from doing it.
  
  They claim having this extra money will allow them to hire more workers.
  Bull Crap! They will do nothing more than raise their CEO's pay and further cut labor to make more money. Corporate america cares little about the working man, and were one of the biggest complainers about the raise in the minimum wage...Union or non Union.
  
  The more that is done to hurt the american worker, we will have people working in factories for $5.00 an hour, while the owners of corporations
  live like the Vanderbelts of the 1800s, while they continue to raise prices on their goods, even though nobody will be able to afford them.
  
  The funny thing is, when the market crashes because of the massive poverty that result from it. Those corporate fat cats will find themselves in debt up to their eyeballs, and lose everything just like the rich of the 1800s did. And, the rest of us will laugh it them, and say I told you so!!

  The American People are sadly deranged.
  
  Of the Founding fathers, there was definately a liberal side (Jefferson and opposition to central banking), and Monroe (support of central banking). However, as political nature changed, the concept of a central bank has become a boon to government programs, and thus is more likely to be supported by Liberals
  
  Washington was apolitical in many instances. He may have been considered the Centrist of his day.
  
  Even Eisenhower, who was, during his time, a Republican. The Republicans controlled the house and the senate, and do you know what the tax rate was on every dollar above 400,000? 91%
  
  90 cents out of every dollar. Ike was in favor of this taxation, to establish a balance of the books. No matter how much you might want to claim to balance the books, taxation is the only means. Whole generations of debt have built up, and the services provided by the debt you have enjoyed, whether liberal or conservative.
  
  If you've ever gone to a church without fear of repression, you've enjoyed the military (which had its share of honorable serving liberals, including myself) protection provided by this debt. Every food product you eat is regulated by the FDA, which was afforded by this debt. Interstates.
  
  Of course, you will not argue against those items. You will claim that it is because they are such a small balance of your life. However, the truth is, because you have used them. If you or your family were on work-fare, welfare, or medicare, you would support those programs.
  
  It is however, your perogative to whine about products which you don't use (even though technically they are a form of social insurance; i.e. there in case you should need them). And if that is the basis of your argument, there is some legitimacy in that.
  
  However, the fact that you support less taxation and less social services for those around you, does not make you selfless. Just in the same way that you can call a liberal selfish, they can say the same of you.

  The Minimum Wage is a price floor. Therefore, if removed, the average wage will drop slightly, and specific jobs in America will drop significantly. It will likely be service jobs and agricultural.
  
  You can argue that the minimum wage makes hiring illegals attractive. However, this is still a violation of the law, and is policed and regulated in its own way. Therefore there is incentive not to do so, considering the fines that can result.
  
  However, one beneficial affect of lowering the minimum wage would be more people would be hired. However, the wage has already been proven to be very close to the point of diminishing returns, so, its debatable what reduction in unemployment this would actually cause.

  Doubtful, when we introduced the minimum wage in the UK the right predicted massive job losses which just never happened! I'm sure that one or two people lost their jobs as a result of the minimum wage but there were so few as to be statistically insignificant.
  
  I think it's fairly safe to predict from that that the reverse would have no effect either.

  The UK owes something in the way of 1.35 billion pounds. (2 Trillion USD) These are from 2 year old sources.
  
  I think that the key to bringing up your primary deficit to a surplus probably involves nationalization. But also, to refine the way that all western societies think about lifestyle.
  
  I think the debt won't matter as much, as long as you get a surplus going.

  In our great state of NJ, Chris Christie is "cutting the fat" by getting rid of teachers and cops. So crime is way up.

I'm sick of trust fund babies who have no clue how regular people live making rules. Do people forget if it were not for unions, child labor would be back? Minimum wage would never go up, and we would have more working poor who work two jobs and still cannot pay all their bills. Now we owe millions on a tunnel Christie decided we don't need, though we still have to pay the bill. He will be gone in the next election.

  You don't understand. Their platform is Give 5 mil to one CEO, take away 5 mil from poor seniors.
  
  No money for taxes, but give it all to corporations for more cost, less quality, cheap labor and no loyalty to the United States of America.
  
  Privitize and demoralize. Cheapen for the Creetins.
  
  I pledge allegiance to Republicorp...one for you--two hundred for me.

Taxpayers also pay for the tax cuts that Walker gave to rich corporations, which resulted in a budget shortfall that didn't originally exist. He demanded middle class union workers pay that shortfall with cuts to their benefits and wages, which they had agreed to do. That wasn't good enough for Walker, though. He insisted they relinquish their rights to bargain in the future, so he can continue to serve his corporate masters, er, I mean donors.

  It`s not that they lie deary, its that they don`t speak the brainwashed BS that only you drones understand. Your brain cannot compute a logical thought... its a mental disorder that you drones have. You were born with an inherent need to covet everything someone has that you don`t have. Your brain tells you every day of your life that social and economic justice means using the police power of government to steal another citizens wealth and private property.......wow .....it must suck to be you!

  And I wonder if their calculation assumed a broadening if the tax base as a result of the better business environment? It remains to be seen what if any deficit will exist in the next budget cycle... that is if Obama and his fool hearted energy policies don't send us into another recession.

"You libs better respect the ballot box or you may find yourselves in a fight you don`t want."

Respect the ballot box???

After these past 2 years, you have the nerve to say that?

When did you people ever respect Obama and those of us who voted for him?

  Just a bit of friendly advice - your language is a little scary on here - Personal attacks and name calling don't typically last long on here - say what you want to say, but you might want to tone down the personal attacks.

  That is very true. Not only would children be working, but, wasn't it also a large amount of southern republicans that tried to keep their slaves? And, vote against allowing Blacks their freedom?
  
  If the republicans had their way, we would still have slaves.

"Therefore, the recent actions by said governor and his cronies in the Wisconsin State Legislature, tearing apart public employee unions, are unconstitutional."
"If new Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has his way and Senate Bill 11 is passed in its entirety, two of Walker’s largest donors, oil billionaires David and Charles Koch (“the Koch Brothers”), could be handed free reign on Wisconsin public utilities." Destroying the unions wouldn't hurt in this bid to steal tax payer owned public utilities.

  A group has asked Walker for his e-mails with Koch and co. So far, Walker has not complied.
