H/T Conservative Girl
Early in this video, a protester asks "Why are you entitled to your money". Huh? I thought it was earned.
There is so much in this video that I just can't wrap my head around it. The woman whose husband was laid off from Harley-Davidson because of "greed". Does she not see her own greed? She believes she is entitled to as much of the taxpayer money as she can get. How is that not greedy?
How do teachers not see that they are part of the problem with the sorry state of education? How do public employees not understand that the pay no net tax; that is, they get more from the system than they pay in?

Lena Taylor, Lying Coward
Lena appears on Greta.
The words I have to describe Taylor are unpublishable. She is a reprehensible liar and a coward. If she didn't know what Governor Walker was going to do, she wasn't paying attention. That she and her fellow cowards are still AWOL tells me their original argument is bullshit.
If I am the governor, I am asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to order the seats as abandoned and vacated, calling for new elections next month.

Kohler vs. State of Wisconsin
The Beer: Finishing the last of the Winter Ale and Irish Red. The keg of Liberty Ale is empty. The Tripel and Wheat are not quite ready and the Blonde is still The Blonde.
The Bicycle: Four weeks to the first 100 Revs ride of the season. It will be painful for me.
The VRWC: OK....not what it appears. Forbes has an article regarding Kohler Co. bargaining with UAW Local 833 last year and makes some comparisons to the current state of affairs with Wisconsin's public sector unions.
What is missed here by the article is that negotiations with public sector unions are not anything like negotiations with private sector unions.
In negotiations with Kohler Co., the union found itself bargaining with a team whose only goal was to protect the Kohler family's business. Consequently, the negotiations were between two parties with different agendas. The goal of the union is to get as much for their members as possible and the goal of the company is to get the most from the workers while giving as little as the market bears.
Public sector unions, on the other hand, negotiate with politicians. The goal of the public sector union is the same as that of the private sector union. The difference is on the other side of the table. The goal of the politician is to get re-elected. to do so, the politician needs campaign funds. From whom do those funds flow? Public sector unions. So the negotiations are not even cooperative, but rather symbiotic.
This is why public sector unions should not have bargaining rights. No one has any interest in protecting the taxpayer. The self-interest on both sides is terribly large and subject to corruption. No such symbiosis exists in the private sector.

More Public-Sector Union Thuggery
Hoft is reporting it.
Let your local businesses know you will buy from them if they don't give in to union thuggery.

Comment of the Day:
From a commenter at Legal Insurrection - The real reason for all this Koch horse exhaust is because leftists find it easier to spell than "Halliburton."
