You mean those teachers that use children as pawns in political games?

Teacher's unions help our kids just like the UAW helped the auto industry.
Teachers and their Union have become one of America's largest protected class. They are all out to enrich themselves, and they use our children as pawns to get what they want. Most of them should be fired for incompetence.

That ad is based on complete and total fact. Why isn't Wisconsin's economy booming? Why aren't states with similar recent agendas (New Jersey, Kansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, etc) booming either?

Maybe it's time for America to wake up and realize that it's been proven time and again that cutting education, curbing union rights, and tax cuts for the rich never benefit the people at large. It's been proven over and over again that those types of agendas do not lead to job growth.

nothing like this has ever been proven. Where do you get your wild ideas and statements? How about the states that are "right to work" are of them booming? How bout telling us which states that that have a high % of union workers are booming, or maybe bombing is a better word? Unions were very much a part of our country close to 100 years ago and were very much needed. Today the union leaders are the only ones benefitting from them. Why do you think so many employees are not turning to the unions, why are so many teachers either not joining unions or dropping out? You are letting your personal views interfere with what is really happening. Take away the unions, take away the outrageous salaries top executives are receiving and we would have a more stable work picture.

Your points are factual, but why bother.

Right to work states mean minimum wage jobs. Not exactly what I would call "booming."

States with the Most Minimum-Wage Workers

Walker doesn't seem to care about women or women's health.

Quote:
"A fifth Planned Parenthood health center closed in Wisconsin on Thursday due to state budget cuts that directed family planning money away from the provider.

The Fond du Lac clinic did not provide abortion services. It offered birth control, sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, pregnancy tests, annual exams and breast cancer screenings to over 1,000 patients a year. A spokesperson for the clinic blamed the closure directly on Gov. Scott Walker (R), whose 2011-2013 budget eliminated over $1 million in state funding to Planned Parenthood clinics."

why should the Tax payers pay for Planned Parent hood. To Paint the Gov, he does not care is crazy. The bigger issue is how Planned Parenthood has mislead young girls in a abortions that they will be sorry for in latter life.

Why should Wisconsin pay for abortions? Plus there is other Gov programs like Medicare, if they qualify.
