What we have been led to is an unsustainable spending spree requiring unprecedented property tax rates that are about to reach state constitutional limits in some areas. If that doesn't convince you of the seriousness of the problem, then maybe it's your own ignorance that's an issue.

That's the reality. No public unioins, term limits, would help.

Poll: Wisconsin Voters Turn On Gov. Walker, Back State Unions

 

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker ® is rapidly losing support from his constituents as he continues to push budget proposals that would cut collective bargaining rights and benefits for most of the states public employee unions, according to new data from a PPP poll, a poll whose results TPM first reported on Monday. His support has slipped so much that, after just two months in office, voters are now evenly divided over whether he should be recalled.

 

A majority of Wisconsin voters now disapprove of Walker's job performance, a reversal from the positive approval rating he enjoyed immediately after election day. Further, most voters support collective bargaining rights for the state's public employee unions, and oppose Walker's proposal to cut those same rights.

 

In the poll, 57% of respondents said public employees should have the right to collectively bargain, compared to 37% who said they should not. A similar majority, 55%, said the state's unions should have the same amount of rights or more than they already enjoy, a rebuke to Walker's efforts to roll back those rights.

 

Further, slim majorities said they side with the unions and senate Democrats -- who fled the state to delay a vote on Walker's bill -- over the governor in the dispute.

 

Walker's job approval has fallen as the budget stalemate drags on. According to PPP, 52% of voters now disapprove of his job performance, while 46% approve of the job he is doing. That split mirrors another finding in the poll that PPP released Monday, which found Walker losing in a hypothetical do-over election against Democrat Tom Barret, 52% to 45%.

 

Also ominously for the governor, the state is evenly split at 48% over whether he should be recalled. It's unclear how viable that option would be, but the fact that almost half of voters would consider in theory is certainly a bad sign for Walker moving forward.

Finally people are starting to wake up and realize why he is doing what he is doing.

The only poll that counts will be November, 2012.

"We must close union offices, confiscate their money and put their leaders in prison. We must reduce workers salaries and take away their right to strike.”~Adolph Hitler, May 2, 1933

“As things stand today, the trade unions in my opinion cannot be dispensed with. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions of the nation’s economic life. Their significance lies not only in the social and political field, but even more in the general field of national politics. A people whose broad masses, through a sound trade-union movement, obtain the satisfaction of their living requirements and at the same time an education, will be tremendously strengthened in its power of resistance in the struggle for existence.

 

Above all, the trade unions are necessary as foundation stones of the future economic parliament or chambers of estates.”

 

-- Adolf Hitler, quoted from his book, Mein Kampf

Hitler also waxed poetic about his peaceful intentions and willingness to work collaboratively with other governments. We must look at what actually took place. The fact is that trade unions were outlawed, union leaders were arrested as collective bargaining and the right to strike was abolished. Hitler vanquished all opposition...those are the facts, we can take a lesson from that.

Hitler didn't abolish unions. He doubled down on them. Keep in mind, the NAZI party was short for the National Socialist German Workers party.

That Hitler wanted to disband unions is lame liberal urban legend tripe intended to compare Governor Walker to Hitler.

 

Sick, un-informed comparisons made here. It's supposedly okay to compare the Tea Party to Hitler. It's also okay to compare Governor Walker to Hitler.

"With this combination of legislative and executive power, Hitler's government further suppressed the remaining political opposition. After the rapid dissolution of the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) was banned, leading to a 10 May court order that all property and assets be seized. The Steel Helmets (World War I veterans) on 26 April were placed under Hitler's leadership with a guarantee they would exist as an autonomous organization to be called upon as an auxiliary police force. On 2 May, stormtroopers ransacked and destroyed every trade union office in the country."

To even compare what is happening in Wisconsin to the actions of Hitler is silly and even insulting to those who experienced the crackdowns of the Nazi party.
