Can this be âundoneâ if the Democrats ever regain control of the state government?
This guy and Snyder have really screwed over the midwest. Well, at least there is still Minnesota.

Next - Walker to push âStand-your groundâ law to serve corporations dealing with picketers - if the presence of picketers might be felt to be a threat to business, it is permissible to shoot the picketers - to defend enterprise.

You know, maybe THATâS what it would take to get WI back to sanity again. If formerly middle class, formerly Union Wisconsonites saw their loved ones getting gunned down by what used to be Pinkertons on order from the robber barons back at the turn of the 20th C for organizing, perhaps they would snap out of their apathy and shock.

First ones to call and congratulate him were the Koch brothers undoubtedly.
The Kochs and the GOP - two domestic terrorist groups if ever there were, trying to destroy the middle class and then blame the President for the greater wage disparity between the wealthy and the poorâŚwhich is precisely what they are working for. This Koch brothers-fed meme has already been tried out by several GOPers in their attacks on the President on the Sunday talk shows. And the Sunday talk show moderators drink it all in with a nod and a wink and turn it around to attack the Democrats on it.

Will Walker bend and twist for the powers that be? Yes. That is what he did here. Can he be taken at his word? No. He went against it here. Walker was âagainst this before he was for itâ ( he flip flopped for political expediency ) but for some reason not a peep out of the media?
Anythingâs possible, but what and who would provide the impetus? Organized labor is practically dead as a political force in the United States. How would a future Democratic Party controlled state legislature be pressured into doing it? Especially considering the big bucks and influence coming from corporations and businesses. Arizona has been a right to work state since 1948 and occasional Democratic control of the legislature since then never changed that.
If these anti-labor laws are to be reversed, absent a strong labor movement, it will take an almost religious-like conversion of the U.S. electorate itself to pro-labor sentiments. Very unlikely given the current nature of our national political discourse, economics and post-Citizens United political funding.

Great. So this means that when a company says that they have to layoff employees the workers can say; âNo you donât, we have a right to workâŚâ ?
Right to Work and Employment at Will. Things that you would expect in Mexico and Argentina.
One more example of how Slippery Scotty avoids responsibility. He gets away with it, too.
