All right Wisconsin, and to some degree America by extension, it's the eleventh hour. Tomorrow determines whether reform is possible, or if the powers that scream (when you ask them to carry their share of the burden rather than actually being the burden) will rule the day and bring on the night.
Over the past several decades, the public education system, run by the left, has managed to influence society to where it is today. Conscience has become a quaint throwback to a past whose faith and desire to do the right thing is now seen as superstition and radical fundamentalism by people who demand acceptance and tolerance of themselves and their priorities by the people whose priorities they belittle and disdain and certainly will not accept or tolerate. Such is the double-standard of the left. When the right says, "Enough, parasites, we're already paying too much!", the left responds with, "It will be enough when we say it's enough, and we didn't say anything yet!"
The left demands that the right pay for it, pure and simple. The disgusting Sandra Fluke story was a perfect example... It's almost inconceivable to me that someone would even be so undignified as to publicly demand that society pay for her contraception, and yet there she was before God and everyone doing just that, whining about how she couldn't afford it... in law school. We on the right have a suggestion/solution for you Sandra, but we realize you may find it a little too pragmatic for your tastes...
In Wisconsin, the injury added to the insult is that the left's poor, down-trodden union types, the oh-so-grievously injured party here generally have better pay and benefits than the average corporate employee... at the cost of the taxpayer. (I am grateful for everything I receive from my employer as compensation. But the truth is that it's nothing like what a teacher gets in this town... If I want to retire, I have to pay for it out of that compensation. Not quite the same deal for the public sector union people who live off my taxes.) And yet, every year, every election, every contract renewal, we of the property-tax-paying class who are not of the public-sector-union-employee-million-dollar-pension-receiving class are expected to just pony up; whip out those checkbooks and pay even MORE taxes in a state whose property taxes already annihilate the limits of sanity. (My property could not fit two of my 1,000 square foot house on it no matter how creative you got, and I am paying $3,000 a year no matter how low the now-five-figure value of my house goes. If you don't think $3,000 a year on a house valued at $97,000 is insane, than one of two things is true: you own property in California or you've lived in Wisconsin far too long.)
The left in Wisconsin wants you to believe that Scott Walker has done something wrong. The "wrong" thing Scott Walker did had to be done because of the wrong things the left has been doing for decades, and the only wrong thing about it was that it took so long to get done. Why did Scott Walker kill collective bargaining for public sector unions? Because that was the only way to get rid of the rapacious WEA Trust health insurance gouging scheme that was charging the taxpayers of the school districts millions of dollars more than equivalent plans from other insurers such as United Healthcare. Why did Scott Walker stop the government from doing the unions' dirty work collecting union dues from paychecks? Because it's the right thing to do! In what reality should the government be working for unions on the taxpayer dime anyway? I mean, really, no one sees the massive conflict of interest here? The interests of the unions are at odds with the interests of the customer, the taxpayer. This isn't really that hard to figure out.
The left hates Scott Walker in Wisconsin not because he did something wrong, or even did something wrongly. They hate him because he had the nerve to stand up and say, "Hey, you're ripping off the taxpayer, and I'm not going to sit for it." The man should get a medal.
