What's happening in Wisconsin is just good old-fashioned union-busting
on behalf of the Koch brothers.


It may also be a smokescreen and a diversion of public attention, away
from proposed selling of Wisconsin utility rights to the governor's
benefactors Koch Brothers.

This whole libertarian movement is truly deserving of the term
"libtard", and includes clueless underpaid idealists, led from behind
the curtains by the likes of Koch Brothers and other "moneyed
interests".

unregulated trading of unexplained derivatives have been hoodwinked? Say it
ain't so! g
