well, it's easy to punk a Teabagger because they are so clueless..and the Teabagger Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, got it good..he and a handful of conservative governors are going crazy trying to end collective bargaining rights for the middle class..that's you and me bub...public and private sector!
and Scott Walker laid it out to his patron, one of the billionaire Koch brothers..in a telephone conversation..the Kochs gave the maximum allowable in Wisconsin, $43000 to Walker's campaign and
spent 3.5 million attacking Walker's democratic opponent...the Kochs want to own America....there's three kock suckers I want you to worry about: Rupert Murdoch, the Kochs and Wendy McCuckoo....ok?
Walker, like a Jack-in-the-Box, was very excited to talk to a Koch..at least he thought it was a Koch..it turned out to be an online journalist pretending to be Koch, taping the phone call, and getting Walker to admit his attacks on unions are part of an orchestrated plan among rightwingers, and not part of a budget solving issue in Wisconsin..the story is everywhere and now the righties are dropping some provisions from their bills...while the rich Kock suckers are ramping up efforts to prop up their puppet Walker...
I got no issue with people making tons on money, but when they use it to try to punish honest workers, that's another story..so who are these Koch suckers anyway?
Koch-backed groups like Americans for Prosperity, the Cato Institute, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and the Reason Foundation have long taken a very antagonistic view toward public-sector unions. Several of these groups have urged the eradication of these unions. The Kochs also invited Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, an anti-union outfit, to a June 2010 confab in Aspen, Colorado;
The Americans for Prosperity group, a Tea Party group that is a Koch Brothers front, has put up a website and petition called www.standwithwalker.com. The website attacks all collective bargaining – not just for public employees’ unions. Americans for Prosperity is also organizing a rally tomorrow in Wisconsin to support Gov. Walker.
Why are the Koch Brothers so interested in Wisconsin? They are a major business player in the state.
This from Think Progress:
Koch owns a coal company subsidiary with facilities in Green Bay, Manitowoc, Ashland and Sheboygan; six timber plants throughout the state; and a large network of pipelines in Wisconsin. While Koch controls much of the infrastructure in the state, they have laid off workers to boost profits. At a time when Koch Industries owners David and Charles Koch awarded themselves an extra $11 billion of income from the company, Koch
at their Green Bay plant:
Officials at Georgia-Pacific said the company is laying off 158 workers at its Day Street plant because out-of-date equipment at the facility is being replaced with newer, more-efficient equipment. The company said much of the new, papermaking equipment will be automated. [...] Malach tells FOX 11 that the layoffs are not because of a drop in demand. In fact, Malach said demand is high for the bath tissue and napkins manufactured at the plant.
According to the Government Accountability Board's website, the firm has seven lobbyists who "represent various Koch Industries Inc. companies on public affairs matters, including Flint Hills Resources, LP, an energy purchaser and refiner & transporter of petroleum and Georgia-Pacific, LLC a manufacturer of paper, wood products and building materials." The group's lobbying interests are listed as "the environment, energy, taxation, business, policy and other areas affecting Koch Industries, Inc.
now, these guys don't want the American worker to have a voice in the work place or the voting booth, and they will spend millions to try to silence it..and their bootlickers like Lanny Ebenstein will join them..this is class warfare...and it's only just begun..are you ready??
