How far will the dominos fall?
Government workers' pensions are being called into question in Wisconsin. Other state and local leaders are looking for ways to cut budget deficits. How many future police and firefighters' pensions be among the victims? How widespread will the cuts be? A columnist with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram admits that 88% and 72%, respectively, of local citizens are pleased with police and fire protection, but suggests the Fort Worth City Council should "stand up to our favorite sons." Here's a link to that column:

I had a email site pop on my emails which ask how I felt about Wisconsin' s Governor and what they were doing and to take a poll. I took the poll because I thought it had something to do with the union and was required to give my email address and post office code to have it go through.
Well they came back asked that I connect their site with my Facebook. I didn't do that but I went to check the poll I took and everything showed a anti union and pro Republican poll because every bar on the poll was all the way across opposit what I voted.
NewsMax.com is telling a false story and making it sound like there are no union people voting in this country.
We also have two billionaire brothers the Kochs (Cokes) who are supporting the union busting and everything to defeat Obama.

How far will the dominos fall? All the way if the billionaires have their way, which is why the unions are fighting this. This is an attack on union workers and nothing more. The concessions offered for fiscal issues has been offered to keep bargaining rights and the governor says NO WAY.

Two brothers, billionaires, are using their money and influence to destroy unions and protect their investments. Take the time to read just what these two guys are up to. It's not pretty and it's far from over. There is a concentrated movement to transfer power from regular ordinary people to wealthy corporations.
As more money is transferred from the middle class to the upper class, our country is heading toward no more middle class, just lower and upper class... The have's and the have not's... Them and us...

I have also heard predictions that the middle class in America is an endangered species. That's most of us.
