17. It's kind of a biased poll, to say the least

There's no way to say that you think taking away collective bargaining will MAKE IT WORSE, not merely NOT FIX IT AS FAST AS SOMETHING ELSE.

Would you like cat shit or dog shit on your burger? No, we don't have plain burgers.

Walker plan risks public employee strikes, professor says

"Wisconsin has a rich history of leading the nation in offering collective bargaining rights for workers, both private and public, a UW-Madison expert says....Many firsts

Wisconsin was the first state to let public employees organize and bargain collectively, Dresang said. It was also first to grant workers compensation and unemployment compensation.

Labor unions in Wisconsin started as early as 1865, when the Molders Union Local 125 was formed in Milwaukee. Worker strikes date back even further, to a ship carpenters walkout in Milwaukee in 1848.

But in the first five days of May 1886, a strike led to Wisconsin’s worst labor violence. As part of a nationwide push for an eight-hour work day, Milwaukee workers shut down most of the city’s factories. As several thousand marched toward Bay View Rolling Mills, Milwaukee’s largest employer at the time, the Wisconsin State Militia opened fire, killing seven people. It was the day after the riot in Chicago’s Haymarket Square, where eight police officers and an unknown number of civilians died.

Among other milestones:

• In 1893, the state Federation of Labor, which later became the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO, was founded.

• In 1911, Wisconsin adopted the first workers compensation law in the U.S.

• In 1932, Wisconsin was the first state with an unemployment compensation law.

AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, got its start in Madison in 1932 when a small group of white-collar, professional, state employees held a meeting “to promote, defend and enhance the civil service system,” according to the national organization’s website. During the 1930s and 1940s, public employees in small Wisconsin communities, “largely Republican,” came together and petitioned their town and village boards, “saying, ‘Give us a raise,’” said Kenneth Germanson, former president of the Wisconsin Labor History Society..."

This teabagger that found his way into the gov's office is bucking a lot of history here.
