Wisconsin and the larger picture

Ok so a good topic to start back in the saddle of blogging is that of the protest in Wisconsin. I really see this as the front line on the assault on the middle class in this country. It might be a stretch and there is no direct correlation but I cant help but think about who the people are that support the Governor and his tea party cronies. These are the same people who don't want billionaires to pay their fair share in taxes, but want middle class workers to give up salary and pensions. In one case an EMT will now make $250 dollars less per month. To someone that makes 3 thousand a month, that's a lot of money. But yet the same people that think its ok to take the $250 a month away from that EMT felt it was wrong for us to ask someone making 300k a year to pay a 109 dollars a year more in income taxes...roughly the same rate they paid a few years ago. Yes we arent even talking about the same state here, or the same situation, but it goes to their state of mind. It really speaks volumes to me about what is really important to Republicans.
