This is a bill to be voted upon, nothing is imposed except the legislative shut down by WI Democrat legislators.
The proposed bill is to end collective bargaining, in a state that introduced collective bargaining. Hence the protests. If it were only due to budget concerns, then why didn't we see the same level of protests in CA for furloughs and increased contributions?

I don't care to read it. I already know your position, I find it disgusting. I think that rather than doing away with unions there is a better solution.
I mean why did this not happen in other states with similar budget proposals that PASSED?
It's power play and it's frankly detrimental to the middle class.

As long as blind partisanship is more important than even reading and acknowledging or disproving logical scholarly arguments your side wins, yes?
As Sen. Barry Goldwater observed in Conscience of a Conservative, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of association for union members. But "[e]mployers are forbidden to act collusively for sound reasons. The same reasons [should] apply to unions...Let us henceforth make war on all monopolies -- whether corporate or union. The enemy of freedom is unrestrained power" -- whether it be unrestrained management power or unrestrained union power.
If Scott Walker is serious about not spending more money, he will learn the democratic process of compromise and prevent needless loss of WI funds!
It would seem the Democrat legislators of WI should remember their oath to their offices and the legislative process. Mob rule is not the rule of law. There is a reason we are a representative Republic and not a Social Democracy where thug unions rule the day!

Scott Walker made a promise to curtail spending. If Walker is serious about keeping this promise, he will not let his stubbornness stand in the way of preventing reckless loss of funds.
