Wisconsin Senate Republicans have slammed through provisions of Governor Walker's 'Budget Repair Bill' that strip collective bargaining rights from public workers in Wisconsin. This is all over the news, kids, so you've probably already heard...
This is precisely what I didn't want. We need big changes in this country and we need to firmly take both Republicans AND Democrats off of the teats of their respective special interests. I believe in low taxes for everyone, including businesses- and I believe in ending loopholes and subsidies that give multi-billion dollar corporations free taxpayer money. They don't deserve their sweetheart deals any more than public sector unions do. We need BOTH parties OFF the teat of special interests if we're to get anywhere close to fiscal stability anytime soon.
Democrats: stop frothing at the mouth and start going after corporate welfare, loopholes and subsidies... fair should be fair for everyone.
Oh and Althouse and Instapundit: stop, stop, STOP taking pot-shots at local law enforcement, please. (Here and here.) If you've got evidence that local police are involved in some kind of slowdown to let these protestors have their way with things up there, then produce it, but in the meantime, what are those cops supposed to do when a mob shows up? Start shooting? Officers have got to be able to look after their own safety as well as everyone else's and trying to hold back the mob is only liable to get them and protestors hurt. Which is what nobody should want.
