Seder: Scott Walker Butchers Wisconsin Wage Earners

[GoLeft TV]

This week, Wisconsin joined 24 other states in passing a right-to-work law. As “cheap labor” has become somewhat of a mantra for conservatives, the saga in Wisconsin further shows how these “right to work” laws would better be described as “right to work for less” laws.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and author Cliff Schecter discuss this.

1. The way to serfdom is through voting for The most rdpugnant assholes on this planet, REPUBLICANS.

This is not ignorance, this is by design. Guess what, fuck you douchebag republican losers.

4. Oh, yes, #ALEC is the big disigner who Walker falls down to

[marble falls]

2. The same people who, for some irrational reason, vote for him.

8. Tea-party Libertarian economics is a hacking exploit of human nature.

Humans are territorial and so are more or less selfish by nature...

As resource security is threatened there is an impulse to more vigorously defend resources...at least until collapse directly impacts a person, family or community...at that point understanding of the importance of sharing takes over

Yeoman self-sufficiency remains a cultural value in American society associated with a romanticized pioneering past mostly associated with people of white northwestern european descent

The apolcalypse survival culture in America, now supported by 'reality' tv and various online blogs is a great example of the emergence of the selfish defense of resource.

So is the fierce defense of social 'status quo' which sees immigrants (pick one...Irish, Italians, Hispanics) and racialized poor as threats to resource security.

5. Tit for Tat

People shouldn't have to pay for subsidies to business either, like tax breaks for big box stores to build in a community.

6. Scott Walker is distant cousin to GW, and killing the unions is a wet dream for the GOP because

it is the last bastion of labor protection.

Their aim is to to kill the middle class, they're done with wounding it.

[Enthusiast]

9. Yeah, we're half dead from all their wounding.

7. IN MY OPINION, THE BEST WAY TO DEFEAT ASSHATS LIKE WALKER IS TO GET OUT THE VOTE AND MAKE SURE THEY

Can Vote. Of course a good campaign of telling the quick story of Scottie's lies are also important.

10. Scott Walker has a vacant look on his face.

Perfect for a Koch representative.

[libodem]

11. So vacant

And unfocused. His eyes are not set right. He's a meatpuppet in a Kabooki theater.

[Enthusiast]

12. Meatpuppets are frightening.
