1. Yes, indeed. People need to snap to alert |
|
This isn't just Wisconsin. The laws being pushed forward contain the same language.
So who cares? Well, when average people who live in a state can't hold wealth in common that balances that of corporations and the ridiculously rich, the state will no longer have the power to control the corporations.
And overthrowing all corporate regulation and installing government of, by, and for the corporations is just what this putsch is all about.

3. I remember when G. W. Bush was in power, the Neocons would |

call those who disagreed with them "unAmerican, unpatriotic....even traitorous." Neocons always accused others of the evil they themselves were perpetrating. Are corporations betraying America today by trying to change our country into an oligarchy, if not a dictatorship?

today? We had better do so, and with success. The alternative is not pleasant to contemplate -- sadistic sickos for our masters, just as it used to be in the olden days! It was exactly against this that our Revolution was fought. Traitors are trying to bring the old system back, the whole country being owned by a few super-rich, and the hell with our democratic form of government.

5. As an anti-fascist I've been warning about this since I got here in 2001 |
|
now at least it's out in the open and enough of we, the wee small people are awake.
On a related note-some of US truthtellers have no more need of tin-foil (we never did).
An informed citizenry is a requirement of democracy-which Wisconsin isn't at the present moment because of the corporate fascism and it's GOP apparatchiks like Walker, FitzGerald, FitzGerald, FitzGerald, Van Hollen et.al...

6. Since corporations are trying to destroy our democratic form of government |
|
through deceit, bribery, and stealth, aren't they committing high treason? If so, shouldn't they be accused of same in court?
