Collective bargaining rights are the only obstacle big business confronts in its assault on the middle class.

Hanging: together or separately
By Dave Obey

Governor Scott Walker’s assault on workers' rights, under the pretense of budget concerns, is nothing less than an assault on the moral underpinnings of democracy and enlightened capitalism.

It is an attack on Wisconsin’s long and much admired tradition of social responsibility that has defined this state since the turn of the last century. That was when Robert La Follette wrested control of state government from insider domination by the railroads, mining companies, and timber giants and gave average working people a seat at the table where their future was being decided.

In the wake of the Great Depression in the 1930s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt put the nation on the road to economic recovery and stability by taking government actions that enabled working class families to get a bigger piece of the American dream. But today, in the wake of the Bush recession, Republican throwbacks like Governor Walker are pushing to shrink the middle class’s fair share of that dream.

1. As long as we hold a superstitious belief that the 2 party system

Will produce positive results for 'The People'
Then the People will lose.

Things have desparately changed.

The 'liberal' institutions are either gone or under
A life and death assault.

If 'The People' want some thing better - they will have to make it.
