@H2O MAN,
I saw one poster from the protest in Michigan where the republican governor wants to do much of the same thing, saying share the pain, and reducing taxes on the business class... It said: Tax the Rich.... Funny how with all their heads and all those eyes that the idea of taxing the rich never enters into the republican mind set... If they were to follow their money, the people would find that little enough of it stayed in the state, and most of it went to New York, or London, or Tokyo, or Beijing... Watch how this redudancy of government allows to finger pointing and shifting of blame to go on and on, with the people left holding the bag... The feds don't tax the rich and let the people get exploited into poverty... Then, they tell the states they have to tax the poor even more and can't help the states going broke, and the states have to tell the schools and the colleges and the cities that they are on their own, and every man for himself... There is no need for this redundancy of government... The state government can do double duty in washington; but some one some where has got to be responsible, and with two parties and revolving leadership, no one is...

Here is my thought, waterman... At least some one has got the balls to stand up and say enough... What ever you say about the people of the middle east, at least they have got their nerve... We got nothing so far...

@H2O MAN,
What seems to be going on is that there appears to be a new generation of republicans out there who're willing to play hard ball with these idiots. In the past including the recent past pubbies have generally tried to treat dems like the other branch of the family while being treated as enemies BY the dems, including the sickening spectacle of George W. Bush just sitting there and taking all that abuse for eight years with little or no response. That day seems to be over.

Conservatives do that...
Most of them do so without any consideration of the consequences... Teachers unions, for one, stand up for students as well as teachers... In their blind rush to kill unions the conservatives are killing their own children's and grand children's opportunities, as slight as they are, for social mobility and success; even happiness... As a group, the conservatives are the most short sighted, backward thinking people on the planet... They do not understand that conservatism is a quality of all people, even reflected in our written language that seldom resembles our speach.... For some one to give emphasis to their conservatism means they are not conservative, but reactionary, and that they hate all democracy, even the slight democracy we have... They react to the want of democracy with anti-democracy... They react to our problem with calls for more problem, and more problem still... They do not consider the consequences of their cheap talk... They parrot the think tanks of the rich and follow their own prejudices; but they do not think beyond the moment of getting their way, even when their way is the way to their destruction...

Take to the streets man!!! Fight for no taxes... If you do not feed the thing, meaning government, then it will die; and nothing would please me more... And then let us see you defend your rights and the rights of the rich to all their wealth, or even to defend the value of the american dollar without the help of your government, your constitution, and your courts... You fools are fools... You cannot see beyond your hands and yet you want to drive the bus...

@Fido,
The American public education system is based on the Prussian model; it barely worked in 1955 and it doesn't work at all now. We'd be vastly better without public schools OR the unions which run them.

Jesus said a man can't serve two masters. Nowhere is that clearer than in the case of the dem-KKK-rat party trying to deal with its union pay masters and its designated inner-city victim groups at the same time.

Democrats may soon be loading up those buses in Madison and heading their mobs toward Nashville. The Tennessee state senate Education Committee voted Wednesday to abolish collective bargaining with teachers. Tom Humphrey of Knoxnews.com reports:

House Republican Caucus Chairwoman Debra Maggart of Hendersonville hailed the Senate vote as a sign of legislative readiness to 'wrestle away control from the selfish interests of the unions and give it to parents and teachers.'

Quote:
'This General Assembly has the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to throw off the shackles of the union bosses and be a legitimate difference-maker in the classroom.'

http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/state-a-local-politics/145167-wisconsin-is-free-scott-walker-for-president?page=1

Quote:

Somewhere between the first cries of the Tea Party in February 2009 and the November election in 2010, the states in the middle of the continent suddenly came to realize what Texas and Alaska have known all along: They are free.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says his party has been emboldened by massive protests against his controversial budget plan, The Hill reports. He says the demonstrators who filled the state capitol building in Madison and the boycott by state Senate Democrats — some of whom fled the state in protest — have steeled the resolve of members of his party.

Wisconsin today potentially takes its first steps in freedom. The events today in Wisconsin actualize the rhetoric of the November election, but rhetoric is not enough. Nor is voting enough. There has to be movement and action. Gov. Walker brings it, and he brings it against the unions and their globalist financing and against remote and detached leadership a thousand miles away in Washington.

It makes no difference what they say about them in New York; Wisconsin is free. It makes no difference that the elegant world pharaoh in D.C. threatens to swoop down on them; Wisconsin is free.

And Wisconsin is not alone. The others in New York and Washington have never been to Wisconsin (or Nebraska, or Kansas, or Indiana, or Kentucky, or Texas or Alaska). They will never go there. They do not like you. But you no longer need them, because now you are free.

It is our educational system that has more than any single fact allowed our advance as a world power; but the desire to turn this most successful of social institutions into a private profit making enterprise across the country is destroying it... Education is a labor intensive investment in people... Taking the money and respect out of it teaches that there is no respect or money in a good education... It is the brown shirt mentality: Brawn before brains... In fact, it is making a monopoly of education, a means of keeping the oppressed from advancement by denying them education...

It has always been the weakness of the democrats that they are the party of everyone else, while the republicans serve a single cause representing money and power... What whould the party of everyone else do??? Would you have them bend over for the republicans, or play dead????... As hard a task as they have before them, I would not count on that... We need all parties and polical cliqueing illegal... As we see from Napoleon, to have such an action impossed by a tyrant is not the desired course... It is the people who must do it, and they are powerless before the parties today...
