@gungasnake,
The article represents an irrational position, and a minority position. Walker is hurting rural communities as well, and many rural Wisconsonites understand this (and are quite upset with Walker).
The polls back this up, Scott Walker's approval rating keeps sinking.
The "lush public unions deals" line isn't working because people aren't buying it. These are teachers, and fire fighters and social service workers who make a difference doing jobs that you wouldn't want. The salary thing doesn't even work. If you compare public employees with private sector employees
with the same educational background, private sector employees earn more then their public sector counterparts.
