NBC Points 2 Scott Walker As WINNER in Wisconsin Gov Race

[Africanama]

Wisconsin may affect the working class for a number of years. It will be a mistake to think that the erosion of worker rights will be limited to Wisconsin, or to public workers. This is a test case and if successful; lobbyist will have politicians chip away at workers right to earn a living. It reminds me of implementation of segregation; political changes that oppress a segment of society under the illusion of creating a more effective government. The big difference is segregation only affected 11 percent of the population; worker rights have the ability to affect that 99 percent.

Pretty soon many have the abiliity to cut health plans, shorten or end vacation time, end OT pay, etc. Companies already stop giving days off for certain holiday and many people are working very long hour despite many of these employees are often classified as part-time workers. Let Americans learn the hard way I say.

Absolutely.... campaign finance reform and overturning of Citizens United vs FEC is the only way to fix this stuff.

That's it but it won't happen.

Agreed.

Sadly though this shit is proven to work. It's the same reason corporations will spend millions upon millions on an advertising strategy for their products/services.

u already had a gop congressman last year say that he think minimum wage should be abolished.

this is but the first step. and if u go check out some news reports about the walker win, people in wisconsin are leaving messages underneath the articles talking about how they defeated the 'union thugs'. i'm like 'wow. the koch brothers dun brainwashed these mutha fukas'
