Special section: The ongoing coverage of the .gov Scott Walker controversial budget repair bill of materials (BOM) and the 2011-13 battle of the State budget '
Hate and polarization in the last few weeks of the .gov Scott Walker was represented only a caricature, cartoon Villain or hero. In the first half, but a guarded moment now infamous phone Central Walker and impersonation, David Koch, a member of the Management Board, the prankster, showed the crucial security measure in his simple statement in the view of the world: "money."
The democratic State, Luring at least one back then for vote, Senator unpassed-budget-repair of the product structure for the opportunity to discuss the Walker was held for only one hopes, Tim Cullen, whom he described as "reasonable". How does someone who was not a conservative in the Republican Guard, "not one of us," Walker on it-could earn Walker n praise? Cullen "went to the private sector, made a real money and then came a little more open-minded," Governor explains the phone conversation.
Context is everything: Walker, a man with an annual salary of $ 135,000, believed that he talked about one of the world's richest men and the two shared the "trusted also in the bond of mutual interest and common Outlook; otherwise, he would not have made the call, not to mention the crucial to his strategy was unveiled at this time.
Cullen and his characterization, he made it clear what binds the billionaire supporters and the welfare of professional politicians, together with the Americans: the rules of procedure of the Court that only those who speak of "money"-whether the Cullen's assets, or Koch's billions-should apply.
The rest of us, such as the less wealthy Cullen's colleagues (and really great Cullen, either by himself or by his credit), are not "Complex" enough to Cut taxes on the wealthy, to understand in order to put an end to tax breaks for the activity of the people and gutting their associations, the need for, and tolerance to the rapid degradation of schools, public transport, Medicaid and other public good.
As long as the distribution of wealth in our society is so unequal that 400 people can be owned, as much as 155 million to make, they are required to contribute to the top of the politicians to behave responsibly in this breakdown. Walker, who will see the private sector, "money" is the only reliable and trusted the judgment of the producer, they have found the perfect servant.
Our Governor wants to see him against the common interests of the citizens of the State-of-the-art self interested public employees who have their own heads of State in its role as guardian of the captured Wisconsinites mass. But his "real" party, and his assumption that "David Koch" understands exactly what he meant to tell the real story.
Walker knows that teachers, nurses, police, fireman, and day-care services providers run really Show. They are not "real", that he has a few years, when he is ensconced in the private sector, "conservative" Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute and Fox News.
The interval of the manufacturing and middle class voters who voted for him in Office in 2010, is the widening of inequalities with reckoning ever been degraded and public services. The money can still only be the "real" as much as possible.
This change only when the Walker's onetime supporters to understand that the Governor, who identified with more billionaires than schoolteachers is certainly not "one of us."
