Daily Kos: In Wisconsin, the Plutocrats Plot 'Walkercide'
The hatred of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker continues in the fever swamps of the Daily Kos. The blogger "Patience John" posted an article Wednesday headlined "Walkercide: Killing the American Dream for Corporate Paymasters." Try not to pay attention to the mangled syntax: that "Walkercide" sounds like a plot to kill the governor, not the other way around, or that the headline suggests a plot to kill the dreams of corporate paymasters. As usual among Kosmonauts, the capitalists plot to build a class of wage-slave peasants:
The elite never want the American worker to realize that the workers generate all the wealth of our republic, and this new corporate aristocracy just feeds off it.
They have a plan.
It is called Walkercide, and it is meant to kill the last of the good American jobs. [Emphasis his.]
In the world of "Patience John," democracy has been stolen by the capitalists, and "Lady Liberty" is held hostage by the free enterprise fans. It began:
When will we wake up to the greatest threat to our republic in a generation?
The average American citizen has more to worry about from our corporate overlords than any Frankenstein blowing back on us due to our imperialistic foreign policy. The very foundation of our country, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is under siege by a plutonomy based on wealth and decadence.
Never have so few controlled so many and dared to call it democracy.
This cabal of elites knows time is ticking on their hidden hand and black propaganda techniques as the InfoTech Age blossoms with its promise of free and transparent information. That is why they are pushing so hard, so fast, least they lose control of the republic's purse string, giving control back to the citizens of this land.
That is their greatest fear, that equality and basic American fairness is restored to our economic and political systems.
They have spent thirty years on this project, they will not go quietly into the night. They will turn all the citizens of our land against each other to ensure their continued position of holding Lady Liberty hostage and defiled.
We, as a people, need to stop and think about why we are at each other's throats when it is the corporate paymasters that are the root of our current problems.
And this conspiracy theory wouldn't be complete without lying capitalist media outlets:
They are trying to kill the American dream and install a permanent working class of slave wage peasants to serve their decadent dreams of a corporate aristocracy.
They have being using their media outlets to lie to us all, to turn worker against worker, citizen against citizen, brainwashing us to manufacture consent against our own self interests in order to serve them.
Is it any wonder that Bill O'Reilly has so much fun pinning the ears back on these Noam Chomsky-adoring radicals?

When did I become a 'corporate paymaster'?
Submitted by Now_I_Want_Change on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 9:56am.
Since I'm one of the ones footing the bill for these poor, exploited, sweatshop working public sector employees....
I feel guilty that I work 60-80 hours per week, 50 weeks per year and pay 'only' 30% of my salary in local, state, and federal taxes so they can barely get by on 1.5 times my income, have 4 to 8 weeks of vacation, 14 paid holidays, and apparently unlimited sick leave so they can go to Madison and put it to the man.
Yep, it sure must be my fault that they are so downtrodden....

you have takers removing more than the makers can bake-
no more cookies for you.
States should no longer remove collect and send union dues from employees to the union.
make the unions collect on their own-lets see how many members support the union giving to
politicians instead of benefits.

Corporate paymasters?

"Walkercide: Killing the American Dream for Corporate Paymasters."
Their "evil corporation" water bucket does not hold water. The meme is tired and empty. No one believes in the Socialist way. Their ideas are bankrupt and a waste of time. So sad.

The Left love to gripe and moan about 'corporations'. Which one of these corporations do you think they don't like?
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, General Motors, Google, Hufffington Post, NYT, LAT, WaPo, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, any one of Soros' many corporations, Toyota (maker of the Prius)...
And for the thousandth time, the American taxpayer who pays this particular union is NOT a corporation.
The projection continues.

Government is pitting people against people. Property tax is a great example. Government says, "Hey, if you won't pay, someone else will and we the government will take that property from you and give it to that person willing to pay us". Government imposes a tax structure that pits person against person too.
What the Kos fool says about the free market is really what his communist idea of what government brings to bear.
I swear, sometimes I think Kos and his crew look at truth and then write the exact opposite.
Left Radicalism on the rise
Submitted by octavioj on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 10:49am.
Is it not interesting the radical left is rising all over the world and people simply do not realize it. Why is this blogger not asking president Obama to offer federal employees what they get in Wisconsin? Currently they do not get the same deal.
I mean, you have to admit it

I mean, you have to admit it is pretty funny. I am sure he was quite proud after he wrote it. This is my favorite part:
"This cabal of elites knows time is ticking on their hidden hand and black propaganda techniques as the InfoTech Age blossoms"
Corporate overlords and slave wage peasants is pretty good stuff too. I think this guy has a future on the fringe of society.
This is a civil service fight
Submitted by CobraMan on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 2:49pm.
"We, as a people, need to stop and think about why we are at each other's throats when it is the corporate paymasters that are the root of our current problems."
Huh? The last time I looked, this was a CIVIL SERVICE fight, a fight between a government and its own civil servants over pay and "representation" by Unions. Just what do the "corporate paymasters" have to do with it?
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution

The "good American jobs?" WTF?
Submitted by ConservaSerb on Fri, 02/25/2011 - 3:42pm.
I guess the way I look at it, is . . . are there people who can replace these civil servants? 1. I'd gather that there are at least FIVE college grads who would be available for EACH teaching job. We could replace every single whiny ungrateful teacher in about a week. 2. Ever wonder what it takes to be a cop? I've been around them for 27 years. I can tell you this. It doesn't require an SAT square much above the 40th percentile. Again, there are usually what, 60 applicants for every 2 or 3 positions. In most urban areas, it's WHO you know, not WHAT you know to get those jobs. Certainly the case for advancement. 3. Firemen? Again. Far more are rejected than accepted. Now, I'm not saying there aren't some wonderful, brave, courageous police officers and firemen who deserve their jobs. What I'm saying is there is as large, if not larger, number who could be replaced. Quickly. Are these "good American jobs?" Yeah, probably. But aren't the rest of "us" entitled to "good American jobs," too? Aren't there others who should get "tenure?" Or who should have OTHER TAXPAYERS pay for their insurance, for their pensions? Or is it just the chosen few?A wise & frugal government, which shall leave men free 2 regulate their own pursuits of industry & improvement, & shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. T. Jefferson
Anyone who successfully---

passes a written test, a physical agility test, then manages to score high enough in the oral interview process to go on to be subjected to a background check, and then pass a very intensive medical examination that includes a psychological evaluation, can then, IF they consistently score high enough in the upper percentile range, have an opportunity to become a cop or a firefighter. These are indeed, "plum" positions, but I take issue with the "--in most urban areas, it's WHO you know, not WHAT you know to get those jobs." That is not to deny that a small percentage of positions might be filled through cronyism or nepotism; but that is the exception, not the rule. Why should any of "us" be "entitled" to ANY career position? Prepare, compete, give it your best shot. Not everyone has what it takes to even get the job, let alone be able to DO the job once hired. If just wishing got it done, I would have replaced Tom Brady as the Pat's starting quarterback years ago.*yawn* Just more 'hair-on-fire' histronics
