Scott Walker Runs on Racist Koch Money

The Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch are not just bad actors in the Republican party. The are JBS Cultural Terrorists that have AA civil rights in their target sights. Unions like the auto unions have played a major role in AA's moving into the middle class. The Republican attack on unions is an attack on AA economic wellbeing.

Scott Walker Runs on Koch Money

Madison, Wisconsin - A new investigation by the Center for Media and Democracy documents the big money funneled by one of the richest men in America and one of the richest corporations in the world to put controversial Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker in office.

The Republican Governors Association and the Kochs' Investment in Scott Walker

Walker was elected just over three months ago on the heels of an exceptionally expensive gubernatorial race in the Badger State, fueled by groups funded by the Koch brothers, David and Charles. David Koch, the son of a radical founding member of the John Birch Society, which has long been obsessed with claims about socialism and advocated the repeal of civil rights laws, personally donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association (RGA) in June of last year. This was the most he had ever personally given to that group. (Fellow billionaire Rupert Murdoch matched Koch's donation to the RGA with a $1 million donation from his company News Corporation, parent company of FOX "News" Channel.)

Democracy Now ran the important audio highlights listen for the part were Gov. Walker criminally admits to considering planting violent thugs into the peaceful citizens of his state. He should be impeached and placed in prison for no less then 20 years as a message to other criminally minded Republicans that think we the people will stand still for this type of madness.

Wisconsin Gone Wild! Republicans Start Wisconsin War

f you are a worker and voted for a Republican, like some teachers and police and fire fighters did in the state of Wisconsin, and thought they were going to help you, guess again. Republican extremists in congress have declared war on the constitution,health care and the Social Security of citizens. At the State level Republicans have declared open warfare on workers. (Video & InfoGraphic)

The criminal corporations have touched the third rail and finally woken the sleeping giant.

Republican Governor Scott Walker gave Corporations 150 million dollars in tax cuts, then claims a 130 million budget short fall. He uses his voodoo economics as an excuse for launching microwave worker legislation in an attempt to destroy American worker rights.



To clear up any misinformation you should understand that public employees do not make more then private employees, InfoGraphic.



Let's Go To The Video Tape







Just in case you don't get it. The Republican SCOTUS said corporations have the same rights as human beings. Next human beings will be 3/5's of a corporation. The Republican corporate crack mules have come for the Wisconsin worker today, they will come for you tomorrow. STAND UP!



I predict that there will be hundreds of thousands of middle class workers in the streets in Wisconsin. There will be a day when all workers by the millions in cities across the country stand uP. Wisconsin workers should stand in opposition to the Republican Wisconsin War on Workers until the Republican Governor steps down and we in the nation need to stand with them.



8 Republicans should be recalled from office in the 30 days, or sooner. No Wisconsin worker should negotiate with Walker, like no Egyptian would negotiate with Mubarak, the Governor is unfit to govern and must step down.

Obamacare, Football and Prizefights, The Battles Continue

Divide et Impera

Divide and Conquer

Julius Caesar

The passage of Obamcare was not the superbowl of healthcare reform. It was more like the first round in a prizefight. As the article today discusses, there is still a substantial amount of lobbying money going to Congress in anticipation of the next few rounds of legislative pugilism. The first round was won by the unions and large businesses, who made certain Obamacare remedied their specific ailments, with little thought for the country as a whole(see posts from 6/29/10, 9/11/10, 11/25/10).

Although a poorly conceived framework for increasing coverage was hammered out, other big issues were deferred. How costs will be cut, and who will suffer from those cuts remain to be determined.

Obamacare was passed using budget projections that at best could be described as fanciful, and at worst as blatant fraud. Within a few years, Congress will be presented with a huge bill they cannot pay, and enormous, truly painful choices will need to be made.

What percentage of money will go to hospitals, drug companies, and doctors? What services will be covered, and what will not? Will care be rationed by the government, or left up to the healthcare plans? Will doctor reimbursement cuts curtail care? How will drug costs be contained? Will hospitals be allowed to continue to receive their cost/plus payments without complaint?

In our country, these decisions are not made by reasoned people attempting to balance the best interests of the many groups involved. Instead our country has an adversarial, money driven system, manipulated by pressure groups wielding votes and money to influence elections. As Obamacare demonstrated, the spoils go to the best organized and funded. If form holds true, the drug companies and hospitals will win the next round. Their well financed, professional and unified messages will play well to our botoxed and tanned Congress.

Doctors lost the first the healthcare battle due to their inability to mount a coherent and understandable message. Rather than taking up the mantle of quality care, doctor groups are busy fighting among themselves over how to split the pie. Instead of banding together to represent the profession, they has splintered their resources into a myriad of ineffective and contradictory lobbying groups presenting an incoherent and contradictory message that is easy to ignore. The vestiges of “rugged individualism” combined with jealousy and greed have rendered physicians incapable of winning this battle. I don't bet much on sports, but I know who I would have my money on in this fight.
