Imagine if the bankers and wealthy were protesting in Wisconsin instead.....

Union protests in Wisconsin showed no sign of easing Friday as banking and financial union members protested in favor of their right to collective bargain, receive bailouts for their mistakes and against higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said he would not back down and repeatedly refused to meet with the bankers, who have filled the state capitol building for days.

Walker is trying to fill a gap in the state budget that was created when he agreed to give working families a tax cut. He wants to pay for it through higher taxes on millionaires and large corporations.

“It only makes sense to take more money from people who can afford it. We have banks and financial firms here in Wisconsin, and some of that federal bailout money lined their pockets after they wrecked the economy, so we’re just asking for them to give some of it back,” Walker said.

Walker said he was also acting out of a sense of fairness, noting that the wealthiest Wisconsinites also consist of CEOs who boosted their stock portfolios from laying off workers.
