First they went after the public unions. Now we know, after hearing Walkers divide and conquer comment that next on the hit list are the private unions. (Some of us already knew that). Don't think it's going to stop there. Step three would be going after those pesky regulations that get in the way of profits, like for example workplace safety. Once those are gone guess what's gonna happen. yep, the workplace won't be as safe anymore so we'll have an increase in workers being injured or even killed on the job. And that will lead to an increase in, you guessed it, lawsuits. At this point the Republicans will see a problem. Their solution to this problem? Make it harder to file lawsuits against corporations

Well, surely Republicans will treat police and firemen unions to special treatment since they give a lot of money to Republicans.

Only a lazy, slow-witted, bottom of the barrel employee would favor unions. How else are they to keep their jobs, doncha know!

I'm leaning towards the waking up being a lot more violent then that.
