Witness the St. by St. GOP "Shock and Awe" Hoovernomics that is wrecking the US recovery

Witness Wisconsin. The Class War is focused on Wisconsin, where billionaire David Koch has completed the total corporate capture of the Wisconsin Governor's mansion and State Senate. David Koch's toadie, Governor Walker, is implementing policies that only really benefit the David Koch's of the world, the millionaire and billionaire crowd, you know, like Michael Bloomberg's dinner parties. Everyone must make a "Shared Sacrifice" in suffering so the tax cuts for the rich can never end. And the expense is clearly being taken out of the working class. It is happening in Wisconsin, and it is coming soon to a State near you...

SNIP

...Witness New Jersey. Newly elected Governor Chris Christie decided that Fifty THOUSAND or so new jobs that might be created if a new rail line were built between New Jersey and New York was too expensive. But OH NOES, TEH GUVMINT SPENDING! And thus, more Hoovernomics ensues. Not to be outdone, Gov. Christie is cutting taxes for the rich while slashing and burning the NJ education system. For Governor Christie, an old George W. Bush employee, this is just like old times, selling off your state bit by bit to the whims of the special interests and wealthy who put you there.

But it doesn't end in New Jersey either.

Witness Ohio, where Billionaire Rupert Murdoch just helped elect a new GOP Governor John Kasich, immediately upon arriving in his office killed a huge job creating bill to create infrastructure and build high speed rail. Kasich quickly pleased the Oilgarchs who own him by stopping Big Oil's biggest threat in Ohio, efficient non petro energy public transportation. A few months ago ThinkProgress.org reported on this . . .

4. In 7 other red states, they are going after the teacher's union! After the NEA!!
So, we had better support our teachers, or our kids won't be able to read the shit that Bush said while he was in office and recognize it as gibberish!!!
