Regarding the protests in Madison over a law to cut collective bargaining rights...
Politics is always about helping some and hurting others, not sound budgets nor even liberty. In this case, the Wisconsin governor wants to hurt teachers (mostly women) but not police workers (mostly men). The proposed bill exempts the police unions. If the Wisconsin Governor were serious about a balanced budget he would make EVERYONE in WI share in the pain. He would also raise income taxes on the wealthy. But that kind of unifying leadership is sorely lacking these days...
