Prior to marching to the Capitol in Madison on Tuesday, Wisconsin AFSCME members talk about the impact of Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s proposals to strip collective bargaining rights from public service workers while also cutting their pay, retirement and health benefits.

1. Walker needs to take a walk!

2. Notice

that the hoi polloi is saying "hell no!" to the myopic, greedy politicians who think the common people deserve to feel the pain of this looming economic disaster all by ourselves! When is Mr. Walker going to cut his own salary? When are the state and federal politicians going to pare down their bloated salaries and all their expensive benefits?!

Isn't it ironic how MANY of us marched on Washington to say NO to the illegal invasion of Iraq; to say NO to runaway deficit spending; to say NO to the hedonistic, sociopathic Corporate Megalomaniacs who've usurped our government, our media and our economy--yet here we are as a nation, better than $14 trillion in debt!

The inevitable turmoil of the global economic catastrophe we are just beginning to witness promises to get far worse, especially since our politicians think they can keep doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.

May we live in interesting times, indeed!
