The situation will NOT get better if there are concessions. Let the son-of-a-bitch call the National Guard, then perhaps he will be forced to leave the statehouse.
What in the hell is the matter with people that these assholes were EVER elected in the first place.
I hope the uprising spreads to Ohio, to North Carolina, to New Jersey, to Illinois, to New York, to Florida. And on and on.
From the WSWS, which tells the truth about the financial aristocracy despite its Trotskyite leanings:
Workers must reject out of hand the concessions called for by union leaders and the entire political establishment. The budget deficit in Wisconsin is a tiny fraction of the wealth of the country’s billionaires. Indeed, the total budget deficit of all 50 states is about one-tenth of the net wealth of only the 400 richest Americans. This wealth, and the trillions expended to bail out the banks, must be reclaimed to meet the basic social needs of vast majority of the population.
A struggle against budget cuts requires the unification of the entire working class and youth in Wisconsin and throughout the country. Organizations independent of the trade unions must be built--rank and file committees of workers and students to unite public sector and private sector workers as well as youth in the workplaces, schools and neighborhoods of Wisconsin and beyond. Preparations should be made now for a general strike of all workers against the cutbacks.
It's going to be a long, hard process to rid the world of neoliberals and neoliberalism, but it has to be done. The biggest obstacles to getting rid of this poison are threefold: propaganda by the rightwing media which seeks to divide and conquer while letting the real culprits off the hook, the general apathy of this country, and the Citizens United case, which makes wholesale bribery of politicians even easier than it is now.
