Working class revolt??? Anyone??? Anyone???
Working class revolt? If you want to revolt why didn't you stand with the tea party when they bailed out wall-street and the banks of which was more socialist leftist thinking but for the terrible practices of Freddie mac and mae and the GOVERNMENT programs. I bet if the bailouts came for the new york times or other leftists groups would see no such working class revolt or be even hearing from these 2 idiots.
You should be revolting against a GOVERNMENT who has no constitutionality authority to bailout anyone and if anything you should be asking government to get itself in financial order based on state to state spending. I mean really if the government promised unions all new cars to every employee at the tax payer expense and overtime had no money to provide this service don't you think the government has the right to change the rules. The government is the people who elected to make serious financial changes and sense of projects and programs not sustainable to real working conditions. Sorry I know it sucks but unions and or people working for the government can not have benefits that are not working within a budget crisis and paid for by the American tax payer.
Its basic numbers and math and if you can show how or why WI can some how come up with the money to support these programs other then raising taxes on the rich I'm all ears.
I have to pay into my medical benefits why don't government employees? I lived in NJ for 30 years it was the same thing and Cristi is doing the same thing to clean up the government over spending and making government run financially sound. Which part of broke don't you understand.

Intelligent people don't buy into the class warfare rhetoric.
Tell that to Tea Party members that talk about cutting entitlements while cashing their Social Security checks and receiving Medicare.

Is that suppose to make sense..........Thats about the same logic as saying you cant support the military unless you served in it. Or saying some one who drives on highways has no right to talk about lower taxes. Any person with a bit of sense understands entitlements need to be dealt with asap! Any one who doesn't is either playing games, ignorant or just plain old dumb. I will leave it up to them to figure out which.

Micheal Moore is a pimp, an opportunist of human stupidity, nothing more. Those who put any stock in his claims are simply idiots, morons, people too stupid to breathe much less pay attention to. It is as... simple as that.

Furthermore, if MM and RM want higher taxes on the "rich", when they write their checks on 4-15-11, they can add another million, even more. No pun intended.. Nothing stopping them from doing this. These people are merely hypocritical big mouths who will do and say anything to remain in the public eye spewing their hypocritical hogwash. The hilarious aspect of all of this is some people believe them.

Why does Michael Moore hate the working man?

Michael Moore Snubs Union Workers in Making 'Capitalism: A Love Story' - ABC News

"Michael Moore used some non-union crewmembers when union workers were available in the production of his latest film "Capitalism: A Love Story," a documentary that argues the capitalist system allows for greedy corporations to exploit working-class people."

We need to demand Michael Moore stop exploiting the wotking man!!

You seem to be very confused. The dispute we're seeing play out in state after state isn't the wealthy vs. everyone else, it's the public employee unions vs. the taxpayers who are forced to pay for the public employees' greed.

Prove it with statistics, or this is merely an excellent example of blather from someone who can't support their statements with any real evidence. Nice subjective run at the mouth, but meaningless blather.
